<p>[QUOTE="Elen Beattie, post: 10254460, member: 18081"]So I have been the ultimate stalker to my new honey hole this week and it paid off again today! The chamber/candle stick is similar to a dish I found in the beginning (later 19th century)-might sell on Ebay or Etsy as not as rare as the earlier pieces but still pretty. The second piece is interesting-it is likely a sugar bowl with the metal part added later. I actually left it behind the last time I was there because it was unmarked but took a chance with it this time as it looked so similar to some of the other marked pieces. Glad I did as the Meissen collector group on Facebook said:</p><p><br /></p><p>"Meissen had many pieces with unglazed bases and over time the marks faded... tea caddys, figurines are a few", "...yes, I think unmarked Meissen. Objects with bisque/unglazed bases either weren’t marked or the cobalt burnt off in the firing. Maybe late 1730s (?)".</p><p><br /></p><p>Learnt something new today!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]513629[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513630[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513631[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513632[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513633[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513634[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]513635[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
