<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ownedbybear, post: 109161, member: 29&quot;]Janet, I&#039;ve no clue why the expert would think they&#039;re either recent or Chinese. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> For a start, the person who asked on that link said it was shipped over from Britain in 1973 - the Chinese were certainly not making the mass market &quot;copies&quot; that are made now, they were too busy dealing with Mao&#039;s Cultural Revolution. China was a very different country then. And then, you look at the rim, the transfer style and a whole lot more..... </p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s a lot of pots like these out there: they were made to allow those who weren&#039;t upper class to emulate their betters, for want of a better word! They&nbsp; often have something like PEERLESS or some other term in Big Letters. The fact that they were cheap to buy doesn&#039;t mean they aren&#039;t pretty, either, Jenny. Enjoy![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
