[QUOTE="Lavrentii, post: 11584155, member: 80422"]Hello community! Friends, I really need your help — you’re my last hope. I’m trying to identify an [B]impressed “LF” mark[/B] on a figurine. I believe it may be [B]French bisque[/B], and it’s a truly beautiful and [B]surprisingly heavy[/B] piece. While searching, I came across a catalogue full of monograms that I hadn’t seen before. I’m sharing the link below — it contains a huge number of marks and monograms, and it’s not limited to France either. Very useful reference. [B]Does anyone recognise this “LF” mark?[/B] Any direction or ideas would be greatly appreciated — I’m determined to get to the bottom of it (and once again I probably won’t sleep until I do!). P.S. Is it just me… or does anyone else have this obsession? If there’s a mystery, it [I]has[/I] to be solved. I have a few objects that have been sitting on the shelf for years — and I keep coming back to them again and again. Sometimes I crack it, sometimes I put it aside… and then I return to it.
