<p>[QUOTE=&quot;_Kale_, post: 9419533, member: 80716&quot;]Hi and thanks for the response. I have lots of pictures of this, I&#039;ll try to post them once I work out what I&#039;m doing wrong.</p><p>Nothing on the bottom, no writing on it at all in fact, no makers marks, no words. I&#039;ve seen other examples of this exact figure, some have markers marks and the word &#039;Neptune&#039; impressed, others have nothing, like mine. The lack of words / makers marks don&#039;t worry me too much because it&#039;s common for Staffordshire figures of the early 19C to have no identifying marks, or at least that&#039;s my understanding. One of the worrying things for me is that Staffordshire figures of this age were fired and glazed, then the painting went on top I think, which is why you see so many Staffordshire figures with terrible paint. This figure seems to have some paint over the glaze but the main body and cloak has paint under the glaze. So I dont really know what to think. </p><p>The thing is I&#039;ve seen figures that look exactly like this being sold as genuine for a few hundred pounds but I absolutely hate to put anything up for sale without being pretty certain it is what I say it is. ie genuine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
