I see! Thank you, janetpjohn, I think I'm caught up now. Did anyone see the jardiniere and pedestal on pg. 107 of the Huxfords' Weller book? It's...
Understandable and that's where Weller gets tricky. Most collector consider this shape Ardsley only if it is glazed likes SIS's example. If it's...
Well I'm confused. Let me see if I can recap. First the jardiniere and the pedestal do not match which is probably why it was obtained on the...
Yes, I did mean the OPS picture. All the other vases posted are genuine and I did not mean to imply otherwise. Sorry for the confusion. Don
These starting showing up in gift and housewares stores here in the US in the late 1990's or early 2000's along with fake Limoges porcelain. They...
Very nice Nippon pitcher. The background is sometimes referred to as watered silk. I think the term for the white decoration is moriage but...
There's a pretty good paperweight group on FB called Paperweight Heaven. If no one here can help you could try running it by them.

Hello Everyone! First time posting in this category. I have this picture (wood block?) that is signed Shosun in pencil but mine appears to be an...
Most Limoges patterns do not have formal pattern names. It's an older decoration and an older mark - around the 1880's. It looks like a shallow...
The crown mark on your piece is probably one of the most common marks seen on porcelain. It is meant to imply quality but is often of little help...
It looks hobbyist painted. I don't think it's going to be possible to identify.
I thought there were enough similarities to my fish that a link might be interesting....
No need to apologize, on the contrary. I'm actually the reverse - I like to ask here first just because I feel much more of a connection with the...
Thanks everyone for your help! I can date these back to only about the mid 1990's. It was in a box of my mother-in-law's possessions. After she...
Thank you *crs*! I appreciate your help very much. I actually saw your post on the Vintage Glass page and thought "Oh look, someone has a bowl...
