<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 421463, member: 59"]This situation illustrates a common practice - a pottery company would make un-decorated wares called "blanks" (figurines, table wares, etc.) and then those wares would be purchase by "decoration companies" who would "finish" them and sell them on. Often the only marking is that of the decorating company. Thus you can see figurines with the same shape and design number decorated differently and marked differently.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect that both "T.
