<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 8947751, member: 36"]It might even be American, the Chinese not being likely to put opium poppies in decoration. At least I don't think they did. The motifs were a hot decoration in the West in the 1870s/1880s, so it could have been made here. Westerners felt free to mix/match and add things an Asian designer wouldn't have done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
