Nice floral painting. The cup shape doesn't scream British to me, but I dunno really.
Yes, paragraphs are your friend. ;) I dislike reading long blocks of text whether online or in physical books.
Cool haul! I've never seen those cross shaped ones before.
Back in my ebay buying days, I bought quite a few Rosenthal brooches that were modern design. Sold or gave away most of them. My Mom had a nice...
Yeah, but unless you were Italian, I don't think they had spaghetti in those days in England. Frit is the word that comes to mind, but that's not...
AFAIK, bocage is the flower and leafy bits behind the figures, but I'm trying to remember the word for the frilly bits used for the blue stuff on...
Is it described as "authentic?" I would be wary of items like these as most turn out to be reproductions. But if you're buying for decorative...

Good thought. Also maybe marked that way so that the 2 vases are recognized as a pair after firing? My other thought is that perhaps there was a...
Another thing to try is make a pencil drawing of the mark and then see if it pops up if you use google lens or kanji characters if there's no joy...
It would be a nice gesture to donate some to the charity shop. I would. I'm the person who would tell people what they have and not to sell it...
Hard to tell, but I'm seeing another horizontal line which would make a box-like character with a horizontal line through it. Seems to me that...
So nice that they included info on gilding and firing. We seldom get that.
That's a very cool find. I dunno whether I would've figured out that they were stacking bowls. :D
Separate names with a comma.
