<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValerieK, post: 4385367, member: 7360&quot;]Sorry, I misunderstood!&nbsp; It didn&#039;t occur to me that it might be Chinese export.&nbsp; That might account for the difficulty in finding anything like it, although I have been searching for just &quot;ladle, lion&#039;s paw&quot;, so Chinese should turn up as well.&nbsp; I will have a look for Chinese export tureens with their ladles, and see what they have to offer.&nbsp; If I was any good at porcelain pastes it might be easy to place, but in the damaged areas it does seem more like earthenware to me.&nbsp; On the other hand, it is fairly thinly potted.&nbsp; I know lions are a Chinese thing, but the odd use of a paw for the handle reminds me more of Georgian furniture with lion&#039;s feet than a Chinese motif.&nbsp; Thank you for your input, you have sent me searching in a new direction.&nbsp; Did the Chinese use transfer prints at that point?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
