[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 306339, member: 25"]I have almost no knowledge of ceramics but this was purchased at a Christmas Fair today for £2. Not by me, my partner has developed a bit of an eye for odds and ends over the years and she thought it interesting. Credit where it is due if it is a bit old. It has a chip on the rim revealing a white body, so it is I assume porcelain.(The brown mark near the chip appears to be a spot of old house paint) The prancing horses have a bit of a Chinese style to them. It has a thick and heavy feel to it that I do not associate with modern porcelain, but what do I know? The base is not marked at all.It is about 9 inches long and 2 inches deep. It has a sharp, clear ring when tapped. Any ideas welcome, of course. Whatever the verdict I am really not going to regret the expenditure of £2. :-)[ATTACH=full]100649[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]100650[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]100651[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]100652[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]100653[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
