Marks were sometimes removed if the item was a second or if it was being sold to a decorating company. The manufacturer would not necessarily...
These could have been used as cache pots or perhaps planters. Don't fall into the trap of assuming that every item had a given use During the...
Cute kitties. I would put these items as post WWII. They appear to be hand painted - you can tell by the brush strokes. A decal is composed of...
Balloons seem to be a popular decoration on French china. Limoges factories produced several different sets of balloon plates. It certainly...
It could have been the decoration that caused it to be listed as a second. Herend sells a lot of pieces as seconds, not because there is anything...
I've always found Old Paris porcelain a tricky term so I rely on my own experience and those with more experience to help me figure out what I...
Nice find INH. I should have thought of Samson. And, of course, I searched "S with branches" rather than "S with twigs". :hilarious::hilarious:

There's a number in the lower right corner on the back that I can't read. I would reference that number in your item title: Boy with Sunflower...
Not homemade. Is it finished on the back? Most likely a German piece circa 1900 but these were mass produced and records do not exist as to...
Wait for others but I'm not sure this is majolica. Looks more like a blended glaze to me. I would have expected a different color in the interior.
I'm not sure this is terribly helpful but it appears to be an imitation of Ohme's Old Ivory patterns. Don
I found the cracker jar identified as Mold 621. It's in the Marples' RS Prussia the Art Nouveau Years on pg. 38, Plate 131. I also found a...
No worries. Noritake marks are very complicated.
Separate names with a comma.
