<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jessica789;0, post: 472193, member: 9592&quot;]Hi I&#039;m looking to sell a Carrier-Belleuse sculpture (14.5&quot;) titled &quot;Vestal Virgin&quot; and I&#039;m wondering if anybody wouldbe able to please let me know what some of these Minton marks mean so I can write a better description? I know 2 of them but not the rest. The Arrow with 3 dots below I believe is the mark for 1845-1850 and the 328 is the shape number.</p><p><br /></p><p>Given that Belleuse only started working for Minton in 1850 and the arrow dots mark for 1845-1850, I presume the piece is dated 1850. I thought one of the other marks may be a date mark and perhaps a month mark even but having checked the date mark for 1850 it should be a 3-leafed clover shape and that&#039;s not on it. So now I&#039;m wondering what these other marks mean, if anybody is an expert on Minton and can help?</p><p><br /></p><p>If anybody has a rough idea of it&#039;s value and perhaps where best to sell such a piece that would be very helpful too. I&#039;m concerned it may not sell too well at auction given the damage to the basket area, right now I&#039;m just putting it up on eBay but that&#039;s probably not the best place. Thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]160277[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]160278[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]160279[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
