<p>[QUOTE="George Nesmith, post: 430360, member: 177"]These white figures were not painted by Mary Gregory so in that sense there is no "real Mary Gregory" The decoration lekely started in Bohemia and if memory is correct was call Quarkmall ie white paint. It has been in off and on production for 125 years. Dealers and collectors started the Mary Gregory myth to increase sal;es and white painted figures does not attract a market. Your powder box looks early 1900s to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
