<p>[QUOTE="sunday silence, post: 2178050, member: 6808"]But why is that relevant? You dont have to be the original owner of a porcelain company to paint an anchor on a figurine. I am at a loss as to this line of thinking. I am sure you and Chris are far more knowledgeable than me, and perhaps you are aware of industry traditions or understandings that I dont know anything about. But from pure logical perspective, we have a data base known as marks4antiques dot com. I pay a small monthly fee. They say that anchor or something very similar was done by Edme Samson. Its not straight from the lips of god but one would think they have a vested interest in being accurate. </p><p><br /></p><p>But again getting back to the quote. Why do you and Chris keep bringing up this issue of ownership? Theres a company called Edme and someone drew an anchor on a german marked piece of porcelain (perhaps they purchased blanks from a German firm and then painted them? ) A data base then says that's Edme's mark. I am not understanding your pt here[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
