<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 350391, member: 308&quot;]I could be wrong but I&#039;ve got my doubts about this one.&nbsp; I think it may have been made to look old.&nbsp; There&#039;s a few things that bother me.&nbsp; The supposed coat of arms for Chantilly doesn&#039;t look right.&nbsp; I have the feeling it was placed there to imply the piece was produced in France.&nbsp; I&#039;ve looked at what coats of arms I can find for Chantilly and can&#039;t find anything with a horn.&nbsp; Actually I searched for a hunting horn in any coat of arms in France but couldn&#039;t turn any up anywhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>The satyr handles also bother me.&nbsp; They look more like figures of Satan than satyrs.&nbsp; Satyrs are usually depicted as playful beings.&nbsp; Either way these handles are not common in the French porcelain I&#039;ve come across.&nbsp; I was able to come across a pair of vases with very similar handles on Pinterest but I have my doubts about the origins of those of well.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, the ax mark is not one that I&#039;ve seen documented as French.&nbsp; There are certainly cobalt and gold Limoges pieces out there but they&#039;re usually on a much smaller scale.&nbsp; I&#039;ve never seen a jardiniere and stand in cobalt and gold.&nbsp; I&#039;m not an expert in Chantilly so it may be legit but I&#039;ve got my doubts.&nbsp; We&#039;ll see what others have to say.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
