<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 216814, member: 36"]Indian decorative pieces can run that way too - as far over the top as possible. Czech porcelains, even 20th century, can also head in that direction. There used to be a shop in the local mall selling all Czech imports, and a lot of it was in the same vein. And if the porcelains were ornate, the chandeliers were bling with a B. I think it's the Austro-Hungarian influence, and of course the Turkish/Ottoman designs coming across the border. Too bad we didn't have the Middle-eastern population then that we do now or the store might still be in business.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
