Nah - it's Gigi for sure - looks like Italian souvenir art, bought on a holiday.
Well the crazing tells us that it isn't old Chinese, or a Samson porcelain copy. This piece seems to have a pottery body and without further...
The cup I dont know, the box isn't too bad, two dragons after the pearl, dragons always sell well. I think the mark is republic, so pre 1949

Maybe, but looking at that flounced skirt and the painted underside and method of attachment I'd say this was NOT typically Georgian English, far...
When I see that inlay I always sway toward Italian work.
This is called Canton enamel, Chinese of course.
First thing to do would be to see if Meissen made that exact model then go from there.
I think the fact that it has been reduced (top cut off) would reduce the value a bit more than it having a hole drilled!
First name is Tullio and the vessels are Mediterranean, probably Italian. Best guess Tullio Vintario
What's up with that horse? Sure is funny-looking.

A second pair of eyes always helps with siggies! :facepalm:

Really a beautiful nodder, good score!
Agreed.
Too bad that outer band is the most appealing part of the piece, eh?
Very good quality, too bad about the losses, but still, nice.
Hot water not the best idea - when I said "heat removes epoxy" I was talking flame/heat gun/and soldering irons. You don't really want to boil ivory.
Ridiculous ask!
