[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 1911855, member: 50"]I think it's an import from somewhere other than Holland. Japan or China would be guesses.

The use of "handpainted" sometimes means screen printed with a hand applied wash of color or minimal hand painting so something to be aware of. This is a similar mark though not the same.
