[QUOTE="Melian44, post: 4383097, member: 59242"]Hello everyone! I am hoping that your collective knowledge may help me with a small porcelain mystery. I recently bought six lovely porcelain cups and saucers from a small Parisian auction house and I've been trying to figure out when/where they are from, without success. They are octogonal with gilt trellis decoration, which seemingly imitates a reticulated pattern, and their handle is bamboo shaped. There is a "mark" at the bottom -- five blobs of gold. I thought it might be some kind of cross or quatrefoil, but the shape is not consistent. Would anyone be able to help me identify similar objects to help narrow down dates/location? [ATTACH=full]367955[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]367956[/ATTACH] Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]
