Always pays to be suspicious of dates painted or carved into an old piece!
Thank you @moreotherstuff I think perhaps could be earlier too...possibly just the constant references to Art Nouveau for the twisted shape...
No expert at all, but found this blog post from someone who claims hers as a family piece - I Love An Old Norwegian Trunk - Organized Clutter Her...
Morning all! thanks to all who have replied, glad it seems to be striking the right chord even if we don't know who it is, or where it came from...
Yes it's a sweetie! Twisty and couldn't be more tea stained, two things I love ;) Now just have to find out where it came from! :woot:
Hello folks! Seeking any help on offer to ID this shabby beauty I picked up today - no marks, eccentric pastiches of styles and quite flamboyant...
Just throwing in a vote for just the 2 letters! SP or PS are a good combo for resale, lots of Peter Smiths and Sally Porters out there... ;)
Hi cute piece :) I can't find that mark in any of my books. The piece does look to be in the style of Emile Tessier (I sold one recently with a...

Thank you so much! I couldn't find anything similar myself, she's clearly the same series. And helpfully has more legible date marks! I'll try to...
Hello all :) keep going around in circles with dating this piece of Wedgewood picked up in France. Seeking help to confirm a date and also whether...
I agree with all the comments re age, etc but just wanted to add that the French word for a chair like this is a 'bergere' which might / might not...
Though I feel the examples just introduced are very different from the OPs examples, I recognise it is extremely hard to tell for sure if ceramics...
My feeling is that these are recently painted on reclaimed (or repurposed) tiles. I'm pretty interested in architecture and pottery, I've never...
Great thank you Janet! Obviously it is one of the reproductions...I only paid a few euros for it so I'm not worried at all, but I like to know...
Ps the back stamp photo looks blurry ... but it's just the flow blue. Doesn't get any better I'm afraid.
Hello found this little jug today at a brocante in France, thought I would be able to figure the backstamp but I'm stumped! It's not very legible...
