    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    iancourt? lancourt? Then below, Cris-something, then E-something) and then a third line? Sorry, not much help!

    As for the birds, they look like representatives of the Galliformes/Gallinaceous Order. (poultry, game birds, and such). If for some reason you want specifics, I could take a closer look.

    Good luck. And... hola, and welcome, to the Forums!

    Hello!

    Thank you very much. I see the samething as you like "iancourt? lancourt?" but i can't find that artist.

    so maybe some letter are missing.

    Thanks

    Don't know if it helps (I'm not that good) but is this a little easier to see?

    Not faience. Looks like a decent china body but not porcelain either. The birdie with the big tail is a pheasant. The word below Liancourt is cristaux, which means crystals.

    I can't get the second word after cristaux, but I think below that it says fournissait - provided by, sold by.

    Not a whole lot to work with but maybe this will help. Should enlarge if you click on it.

    I think the first word it "Fraucourt", which when googled brings up genealogy for this French family.

    I can't make it out any better than anyone else however I wanted to suggest using the term "exotic birds" when you're searching.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Could what looks like "Fi" actually be a broken capital R? There is a place called Raucourt in northeastern France.

    In the second line the first four letters of the first word look like "Cris" but that is all I have so far.
