<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KylieS, post: 9430077, member: 22292&quot;]Hello folks! Just opened a job lot of very dirty old blue and white today from Belgium.&nbsp; Expected villeroy and boch (which I got) but there were a few other bonus pieces which I can&#039;t ID...help please! </p><p><br /></p><p>The pattern matches Cauldon &#039;Messina&#039; but the mark does not. The only exact instance of a mark is shown on Kovels as being a contemporary fake (but it&#039;s on a different pattern) and they note: &quot;The original of this mark is unknown&quot;. So I suppose there is a possibility that this is the original mark that is unknown, rather than the later fakes. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think it&#039;s overly wishful thinking here, as these pieces are good quality flow blue, nicely printed, shaded and detailing and they are clearly of age. I&#039;m thinking they could be contemporary fakes (as in still antiques themselves now) but the nice qualitsofas me a little confused. </p><p><br /></p><p>So what say you?? I&#039;d love to hear any thoughts!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you&nbsp; ![ATTACH=full]435394[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435395[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]435393[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]435396[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
