[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 286455, member: 106"]Picked up this sauce/gravy boat with an unusual painted scene. At first I thought it was a hobbyist painted piece ... but with all the stamps on the bottom, I'm thinking a professionally decorated piece. I can find the porcelain maker as Martial Redon & Co., but am lost with the other two marks. The one with three letters [I]may[/I] be CRA ... can find one or two references to those letters in conjunction with Redon porcelain, but no mention to what they stand for. The other mark (which I [I]thought[/I] would be the easy one) is just a complete mystery to me - from the spacing on the crest, I think only one letter is missing ... Sallais? Pallais? Gallais? Callais? ... is that winged helmet supposed to represent anything/anyone? There seems to be lint (or something) stuck to/in the paint around the youngster's head ... tried to rinse it off with plain water with no change ... are these designs fired on? Can I use something stronger to try and clean it? Could these linty bits be [U]IN[/U] the paint?
