<p>[QUOTE=&quot;15Stiftgasse, post: 4314107, member: 12382&quot;]I&#039;m about to purchase a quite attractive (in my opinion, anyway) matched cup and saucer, which appear to be Chinese and possibly late Qing period.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was a initially stumped by what I first thought was a maker&#039;s mark on the base. However, it has since occurred to me that these items were probably part of a larger set or consignment, which were POSSIBLY stamped with the owner/importer&#039;s identifying mark (eg initials, for example). Is this likely - or are we possibly looking at a more modern import - say from Macao or somewhere, designed to deceive the unwary - like myself, for example !!</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help whatsoever will be MUCH appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]351570[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]351571[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]351572[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]351573[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
