<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValerieK, post: 3054597, member: 7360&quot;]I have had this damaged bowl for a while now, and thought it might be Chinese export but hoped it was English.&nbsp; Some helpful experts on an English porcelain forum agreed that it was in fact English (most of what I post there turns out to be Chinese!).&nbsp; They also agreed that Worcester or Liverpool were the most likely options; the inner border pattern was used by both factories.&nbsp; Without actually being able to handle the item they couldn&#039;t hazard a guess which it was.&nbsp; Since confirming it was English I have tried to identify the maker by the more unusual features of the painting, but without any sucess so far.&nbsp; I am hoping that someone in the expert community here might recognise the characterisitics, or at least keep an eye open for them while reading books or browsing items for sale.&nbsp; What I see as the odd individual painting quirks are the leaves to the left of the flowers which look like strings of sausages; the other leaves in which the veins are painted like angular fir trees (a Chinese-type device); the red flowers with tongues coming out of the centre in an alien-like fashion; and the strangely drawn ladybird? with 8 wavy legs.&nbsp; Finding any of these elements might give me somewhere to concentrate my search.&nbsp; Of course a painter could move between factories, but it would be a start.[ATTACH=full]291289[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]291290[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]291291[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]291292[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]291293[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
