<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 1198268, member: 308&quot;]I have never seen that mark before but it looks to me like a reproduction of a old German or French box.&nbsp; One way to tell if a picture is hand painted or a decal is to look at it through a magnifying glass.&nbsp; Decals are made up of a series of tiny dots and those dots are visible under magnification.&nbsp; If it&#039;s hand painted you may actually be able to see the brush strokes themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the mark, it looks modern to me.&nbsp; The typeface looks modern and the crown, bow and wreath are not particularly well done and not what I&#039;m used to seeing on older pieces.&nbsp; Rather they are more what I am used to seeing on reproduction marks.&nbsp; This is all my own opinion and others may differ.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
