It seems to say the following:</p><p>&quot;Great Ottoman</p><p>Ming Dynastie 1453</p><p>Handbemalt - Fine China</p><p>Made in China&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Parts of the text are in German, Great Ottoman and 1453 point to Turkey, then there&#039;s mention of Ming and it&#039;s apparently made in China...</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone make anything out of this? Why the mention of Great Ottoman and 1453 if the text is in German? For which market was this made? And can anyone date this?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks very much![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
