So - no more tape. Underneath the petrified glue was a mark and the word SEYEI. Looking it up I found lots of fine china tableware but nothing...
That is a great tip to remember !
It's getting a label remover soak. The adhesive backing of the tape is extremely well bonded to the surface. If that fails the tape gets...

Not hand done, as I saw identical on a different piece, which now I can't find of course ! (when will I learn to bookmark?)
