<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 346070, member: 84&quot;]I found this Sat at a yard sale - they wanted $40 but I bought it for $20 - partially because it doesn&#039;t have any markings, it could be a knock off from China (the owner said she thought it had had a sticker but couldn&#039;t remember).</p><p>Is there any way to tell where it&#039;s from? </p><p>Is it &quot;Deco&quot; (is it deco or art nouveau with the sharp corners and angles - I&#039;m thinking deco because it kinda looks like the hotels in Miami Beach&#039;s art deco district) period or a newer piece meant to look deco?</p><p>Finally, how do you tell the difference between porcelain or other lesser pottery? I am afraid this may be a lesser one (like chalk ware?) because the details in the face are so ... not sharp or detailed.</p><p>Thanks all, as always I appreciate your help!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]116879[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]116882[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]116883[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]116884[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]116885[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
