<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 9825623, member: 36"][USER=29]@Ownedbybear[/USER] asked for better pix, so here we go. This cost me a whole US$3 so it came home as a research project. The only marks on the base are a hemisphere with a dot on the bowl and what looks like an exclamation mark on the cup. I'd bet the figures are some sort of transfers but the color appears hand done. The paint looks like old famille rose pieces, but that could have been a British firm out to fool us. The lady has a rue-i scepter, so I'd think Chinese but..? Bright ideas and dumb jokes appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]489934[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]489935[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]489936[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]489937[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]489938[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]489939[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]489940[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]489941[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]489942[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
