Late eighteenth and early nineteenth figural painting of this type on China was often rather naive. No photography, so relied on copying. The...
There's certainly a steeple and cross, but the trees look more gingko. Mind you, we'd imported them by then. I'm sort of wondering if this was...
I may have to do a surreptitious scratch, see if he's spelter. Those copper tones are actually real.
Nice pig I picked up over the weekend, but I can't work out for the life of me what he's made of. Heavy and feels cool but I don't think ceramic,...

British studio potter, I’d think.

I’ve got necklaces like that, and the push in clasp is older too. It’s possible that one company made the diamanté part, I suppose and the chain...
I’ve seen a fair few of these, and yes, modern Asian giftware, they show up in tk maxx.
Nice, fifties into sixties. I’d have grabbed it too.
I’ve lost the term too. Feh.
