[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9533149, member: 2844"]I think early 20th, with that hinge. Very sweet. Germany too. If you look at the curvature on the sides of the plaque, it is too sharp to be eggshell. And the back doesn't have the right curve either. I don't think so. Besides, because eggshell is so thin it would probably fall apart when fractured like this. The pieces are held together because the porcelain is thick enough.[/QUOTE]
