The mark is for Bawo and Dotter and dates to the 1880's. I don't usually see much Limoges that old. It's a decorator mark as Bawo and Dotter...
I think janetpjohn is on the right track. I'm really not seeing anything in this piece that reminds me of McCoy. McCoy's bluebirds were different....
I like the black trim along the top. I don't recall seeing that type of finishing on modern Chinese pieces but there's isn't much modern art glass...
The following is a photo from Morton Potteries: 99 Years Volume 2 by Doris and Burdell Hall. The vase on the far right looks like Deb D's and the...
Sorry, forgot the second part of your question. The book estimates the bird mark as about 1890. I think that date fits with the shape and...
The CM mark is most likely Charles Martin. The bird mark is unidentified. Source is Collector's Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain by Mary Frank...
Still a very, very beautiful vase. I'd have snatched that up too.
My first thought was Anchor Hocking's Royal Ruby but I'm having trouble finding that exact collar to vase ratio. The crimp and color look right...
I'm not getting an EAPG vibe. The glass looks like it's very good quality (leaded?) and the detail is sharper than I would expect. Just wondering...
Lovely! For what it's worth they are not giving me a Waterford vibe. As for use - I suppose it's possible the base is actually a candleholder for...
Any chance it is a consignment shop? Perhaps they have a new consigner who either doesn't know or doesn't care that they are misinforming...
I agree with kentworld. IMHO, it's neither Limoges nor RS Prussia. The pie crust edge is interesting but not used often by either company. The cup...
I'm really not getting a Limoges vibe from this. It is definitely an older egg but there were other manufacturers who made egg trinket boxes...
It's unlikely it's a knock-off. Mikasa doesn't usually bring high enough prices to be worth counterfeiting.
Sorry, I should have been more specific. The manufacturing process was different in the two examples. The first example has a much more open...
As I remember, Three Crown China was a large import firm which means they would have sourced from any number of German factories. Finding matching...
Lovely little item. I can't add much more to what's already been said. I collect these little items when I can find them at the right price. I...
The decorator was Robert Hessler who was employed at Pickard from 1898 until 1912. Sometimes he signed his full name and sometimes he just used...
Brush Pottery did a design commonly called cobweb. The bottom is wrong for Brush, though (and McCoy, unfortunately). This looks closer to...
Yes, that's more what I would expect. There is no denying that the original figurine you posted is well modeled. It's a beautiful piece. i just...
