[QUOTE="Brian Warshaw, post: 9740407, member: 16674"]Although it was bought in England, the seller thought it to be French, and I agree with him. I've never ever seen a double-eggcup using a cock and hen figural. Those I have seen, have been very bland. Made of fired clay, it carries neither a maker's mark or origin, so potentially may prove very old, prior to 1891. It is not in perfect condition. Cockerell has no comb and a chipped tail; Hen has a chipped head. Both have small cracks, crazing, and chips on the rim. Although I haven't it yet, the photos are good, and I think it is quite rare. Does any member have one, or has come across one? Thoughts and comment are very welcome. Thanks.
