[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 440276, member: 5833"]I'm staying out of the Minton/not Minton fray. I was brought in for the subjects & only said: The little monograph I have on Parian says that during the Victorian period there were many makers & much that is not marked. It mentions that Pandora is one of their earliest designs, going into production in 1851. Addendum: Since the Cupid & Psyche is taken from a sculpture now in the Capitoline museums, it may have been used by any maker. Pandora was designed for Minton.
