[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 376255, member: 2844"]I think that is one thing that is for certain. Although the Chinese tend to call them phoenix kendis. One person's chicken is another person's phoenix.;) It is not porcelain, by the way, maybe stoneware? I agree, it is very different. I think that can only be explained by a different origin. Maybe European made for the Asian market? Sounds like a reversal of the usual pattern, but the Dutch and English did make ceramics for the Asian market. Not that I recognize this as Dutch. I don't know much about English ceramics, but it doesn't strike me as English. Or maybe an Asian country we don't usually see ceramics from. Or it could just be French/Mediterranean and happen to have a passing resemblance with a kendi.[/QUOTE]
