<p>[QUOTE="SugarBear, post: 659991, member: 11024"]I'm embarrassingly new to this whole thing and have zero idea how to tell if something is vintage or just modern when it comes to china. I was gifted this decorative tea set about 7-8 years ago, in a pretty old box that was originally for the set, and they were bought from a flea market, but I haven't been able to find anything similar to them or the marking online, been trying for the past 2 months. I feel like it's <i>probably </i>more modern, but I just want to be safe and certain. So I figured I'd ask here <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone has an idea of the age, what the marking says or can find anything online I'd be very thankful!</p><p><br /></p><p>Teapot is 7" W by 7" H</p><p>Mini Plates are 4 1/2" W by 1" H</p><p>Mini Cups are 3" W by 3 1/2" H</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]184898[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]184899[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]184900[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]184901[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="SugarBear, post: 659991, member: 11024"]I'm embarrassingly new to this whole thing and have zero idea how to tell if something is vintage or just modern when it comes to china. I was gifted this decorative tea set about 7-8 years ago, in a pretty old box that was originally for the set, and they were bought from a flea market, but I haven't been able to find anything similar to them or the marking online, been trying for the past 2 months. I feel like it's [I]probably [/I]more modern, but I just want to be safe and certain. So I figured I'd ask here :) If anyone has an idea of the age, what the marking says or can find anything online I'd be very thankful!
