    I bought this online so I dont yet have it in my hands. I havent seen anything comparable so I'm wondering just when this was made. It looks like a Spode mark from late 40s early 1950s but even that Im not sure. 15" long.

    Blanc-de-chine was popular in the late 19th century and faded out in the 20th century with a short revival post WW2. Vega Wilkinsons reference book suggests that mark was used from 1904, and I think this will be towards the early end of that date.

    I was confused I did not see this exact mark on the paid data base I use. I saw one with the word ''spode'' together with ''copelands etc'' but not this exact one. So your guess is this piece date to circa 1904?

    Mostly likely pre WW1 in my estimation.

    Totally agree, that's early 20th. I think a donkey and not British harness. That's meant to be some kind of Eastern scene.

    @KSW on the equine?

    So its not parian then? I see a lot of spode parian. Do people still collect porcelain figures from this company? I usually don't bid on stuff I don't know but I had a feeling

    Parian is unglazed, when it is glazed in clear it is called blanc-de-chine.

    solifleur vases Good word to add to my Antiquers dictionary of useful terms. Not a word I come across to often in Missouri! Not too many French speakers since the Mountain man days!

    I am tempted to think this scene of the boy and donkey is some biblical reference. Or is that too much?

    I don't think biblical, but Middle Eastern was a fashion.
