[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 1559993, member: 6444"]Well, maybe this will clarify things. There are two different companies, Choisy-le-roi and Choisy-le-roy. It is the Choisy-le-roi company that made mostly majolica. The other company, Choisy-le-roy is the one that antique-marks is talking about using the Meissen-like mark. I don't know whether that is true or not, or what they are basing their citation on, or even how reliable antique-marks is. So you could be right that this is a mis-attribution? Does antique-marks have other known problems? Nevertheless, the Choisy-le-roy company is documented in other reliable sources.
