<p>[QUOTE=&quot;R.

It was sold as an French opaline glass baguier/tazza, in etruscan style. But I had the feeling that it was Russian, and not French. Now I mainly deal in opaline glass, so I was impatiently waiting for it to arrive.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yesterday it finally did. I was impressed about the details of the piece.</p><p>The very small glass beads and the painting style and enamel work. Now if it&#039;s etruscan style? I have no idea to be honest. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]289319[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289320[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289322[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289323[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289324[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>But it definitely felt Russian. I had seen some pieces made by the Russian Imperial Glass factory earlier. Only after a couple of hours I saw this..... (under the rim)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]289325[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]289326[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I realized that it&#039;s probably glazed, and therefore porcelain and not glass.</p><p><br /></p><p>No I have been searching again...</p><p>Russian porcelain with what it seems to be champlevé/cloisonné.</p><p>I have found a couple of Russian examples, with the same style, same kind of borders, and the glas beads. But the mystery is... they all seem to have a silver, or at least a metal base, for the champlevé to attach on.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And mine is almost certainly porcelain and not glass. </p><p>So it&#039;s probably not champlevé, but just enameled.</p><p>But definitely in the same style.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I really hope there are some people here that know about Russian porcelain.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have found some examples which I will mention in my next message.</p><p>Most of &#039;em are from the Russian Imperial Porcelain factory I believe.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you very much for your help!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
