<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 401882, member: 308"]I agree that they look hobbyist painted perhaps by your grandmother herself. I'm not so sure about 100 years old though. Somehow the decoration strikes me as more recent. Early china painters tended to focus on Art Nouveau image like florals or fruit (early 1900's) or geometric designs (1920's). There's no hard and fast rule, though. Your best bet about learning more about them would be to find a family member who might remember them or if you could find them in a photo somewhere.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
