What an interesting block this is CatEyes. I have never seen one like it and now I'm going to have to find out about this type. I have never heard...
Great researching! I wouldn't care a bit if your version is a later copy or not. It is such a sweet portrait and the frame complements it...
[ATTACH] I have put them into 6 sets as seen in the first photo according to "like" details on each. There is one single block on its own. Here...
Well Debora, that sent me down the google rabbit hole looking at skeps. I have never heard that term. So interesting. I read the modern bee hive...
Thanks Debora. I will leave them natural as I might do more harm than good. Agree about the dates. The horse drawn steam fire engines with that...
Not sure which forum to post this in so I'm taking a chance with this one. Found this mixed bag of children’s blocks which date from different...

I expect mass produced jars and vases from the likes of Ikea stand a better chance these days. It always breaks my heart to see all the beautiful...

Many thanks for the quick reply. I know old marks are often used on newer porcelain so felt they were likely vintage. The etsy seller uses vintage...
I am continuing to research these bowls as I hate to wrap them back up without identifying them. I did find this old posting on etsy. I don't know...
Wash bowl was the only thing I saw with this shape and I looked at all but maybe @Ce BCA will know a bit more. Yes. Also curious if they were...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I don’t know who in the family originally acquired these bowls (18.5 cm/7 in), or when or where they came from...
