I've seen Czech, Japanese and even Austrian lusterware items that are nearly identical to each other. Here's an example: These 2 cat-handled pitcher/creamers are actually the same size (despite my mediocre photography skills, which make the one on the right look larger.)They are obviously decorated very differently.[ATTACH=full]327369[/ATTACH] Even the shapes of the bases are very similar. (If you hold them, base to base, they actually "match")[ATTACH=full]327370[/ATTACH] The marks, however, show different  countries:[ATTACH=full]327371[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]327372[/ATTACH] If they didn't have those marks on the bottom, how would you tell where they were made?[/QUOTE]
