<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kentworld, post: 10095578, member: 35&quot;]China painting was a very popular hobby in the very late 19th c into the early 20th c.&nbsp; It is still done today, but as blank porcelain is expensive, you don&#039;t see it often now.&nbsp; Back then, manufacturers (in your case Epaig Czechoslovakia, and a B &amp; C Limoges) make blank (undecorated) porcelain wares for hobbyist to paint on.&nbsp; Here is a thread about Epaig: <a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/epiag-czechoslovakia-6528-tableware.39590/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/epiag-czechoslovakia-6528-tableware.39590/">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/epiag-czechoslovakia-6528-tableware.39590/</a>&nbsp; and L Bernardaud and Co is the maker of the B&amp;C France pieces.&nbsp; It is still in operation.&nbsp; Often the hobbyists signed and dated their work, but not always.&nbsp; Your gal, Martha Philips, did a nice job and it&#039;s rarer to see a whole set.&nbsp; Nice![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
