<p>[QUOTE="The Lady B, post: 189399, member: 3462"]I know this is a long shot, but I'm looking for my grandmother's majolica, or something close, for sentimental reasons. The pieces have disappeared and I'm left with only my recollections and have not been able to find on the web. She had a serving set of tureens, covered dishes, and bowls that had a brick red glaze over white ?? china maybe - they were fairly light and thin. The glaze was brushed on as I recall and there were brush marks visible. The pieces were decorated with crabs and seaweed of a very fine and detailed work. The larger ones had feet of mussels, and some had mussel handles. Everything that I have found on the web is of a much rougher, cruder style of work and lack the delicacy and fine detail of these dishes. The family had ties with France and Japan and those could be likely places of origin. I'd appreciate any thoughts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
