<p>[QUOTE=&quot;blooey, post: 3029809, member: 12007&quot;]Valerie, It looks to me like you have found another piece from the same service as the one in the link as the decoration is identical.</p><p>That provenance pretty much solidifies the fact that it is a Chinese piece and also decorated in China, no doubt by special order for a particular European customer. It is rare of course because there was probably only ONE service like it, similar to my coffee cup and saucer ..a design taken to China by a merchant to be produced in that pattern.</p><p>As an aside, I have a few more pieces of the above service, in total I have six cups and saucers, a helmet creamer, sugar bowl and cover, three slop bowls and a couple of side plates.</p><p>Anyway, I think you can rest assured that you have an 18thc piece of Chinese export from the same service as the piece so well provenanced in the link you discovered. And yes, decorated in China also.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
