<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 4477282, member: 2844&quot;]It is difficult, because many costumes changed rapidly in the late 19th-early20th century. For instance Dutch and Breton lace caps were much more simple in the 1860s than in 1900, you wouldn&#039;t recognize some of the mid 19th century ones as Dutch or Breton.</p><p>I have books on 19th century German and Austrian costumes, and this doesn&#039;t ring a bell.</p><p><br /></p><p>But since porcelain painters of the day loved to paint Balkan and Greek girls, I would think in that direction. Balkans probably, with all that coral. Looking at the way the bodice is closed, with a lace, it would have to be northern Balkans.</p><p>Maybe not an accurate rendition, but an artist&#039;s take on a Serbian or northern Croatian costume is possible. With some costumes from that part of the world the girls wear flowers in their hair.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
