<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValerieK, post: 2386902, member: 7360&quot;]Hi,</p><p>[ATTACH=full]262633[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]262634[/ATTACH] This lovely old tea jar came in a job lot of blue and white which contained English and Chinese items from the 18th and 19th centuries.&nbsp; I thought it would be easy to identify because of the V mark underneath, but the only mark I can find like this is for Varages, in Provence.&nbsp; That seemed possible so I emailed them, both their museum and existing faience factory, but that was months ago and no-one has replied.&nbsp; (Maybe they thought it was spam!)&nbsp; Can anyone help on this?&nbsp; I know it is &quot;silver shape&quot;, probably late 18th century, and I think the damage to the glaze suggests faience or delftware.&nbsp; I have searched in vain online for anything quite like it.&nbsp; The flower design is familiar, I think it was popular in Germany and called strawflower?&nbsp; Any ideas please?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
