[QUOTE="John Brassey, post: 2753726, member: 15277"]At the auction today I bought two boxes of ceramics that included this very fine majolica fish tureen. All the other pieces in the box were early to mid twentieth century. The ladle was in a different box to the fish but I assume it belongs with it. The piece looks very much like Bordallo Pinheiro tureens but they are usually clearly marked whilst the glaze has blurred virtually all the detail of what could be the impressed frog in a circle on this. I know that fake marks often look blurred like this but the quality is such to make me think it may be genuine. I read that pre WWII the factory Mark was impressed.
