<p>[QUOTE="kentworld, post: 11390904, member: 35"]It is hard to tell from photographs but Continental China will be whiter in colour and British slightly creamier -- difference in paste composition I believe. I do find the gilding style to be Continental. As for shapes, early china shapes copied those of silver wares, so similar shapes can be found in different factories productions[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
