<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 4482077, member: 308"]It's just speculation of course, but I think there were just two different models. The cherub was probably a separate piece attached at the time of manufacture. Once they ran out of cherubs they may have gone to a flower because it was slightly cheaper or they didn't want to take the time to make more cherubs. Porcelain companies were always looking for ways to save a few pennies. It looks like the cherub may have been reading from a book of life and passing the information onto the fortune teller. It's more interesting with the cherub IMHO. I don't think the flower is a replacement for a broken cherub because of the coloring on the ground where the cherub was located. That could have been added after but the shading matches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
