<p>[QUOTE="Sdcookie2, post: 8690674, member: 11767"]Upon closer inspection they weren't painted over. It seems the portraits were rubbed off. The seller was telling me a story that during the time it was illegal to celebrate the sitters and that is why the portraits were removed. I have seen in the past certain marks on porcelain items were painted over and there is a term for this but my old brain can't remember the term. As they sit they are just a pair of old luster's. Didn't pay much for them and they are still beautiful in their own right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
