<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 1272417, member: 738"]This is just a frivolous post to share an amusing piece I found while trolling auction sites. I immediately thought of our esteemed resident "bug" lady. Hope you enjoy it!</p><p>Description from auction site- "A square porcelain tray finely painted from the Imperial porcelain factory in Vienna. Hand skated with floral wreath ground Bouquets, rose and gilded, foliage scroll work along edge and handle with cricket motif to center. Date marked 1858 and beehive mark to the underside base." At Live Auctioneers. BTW- does anyone know what hand-skating is? I googled it and all I found were horrific accidents involving fingers.[ATTACH=full]217405[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
