<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finnclouds, post: 9739306, member: 84680&quot;]I emailed <i>a </i>museum in Madrid several years ago and they didn’t reply.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think it was the Ruiz de Luna museum as the marks were just shown as examples of Talavera de la Reina pottery marks.&nbsp; So I was asking&nbsp; when those marks had been used, hoping they’d say it was in the 17th C. </p><p><br /></p><p>I’d read up on Ruiz de Luna and Talavera pottery but didn’t put de Luna’s name and the crescent moon mark together until earlier today. Maybe the museum guys were doing a face palm back then. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Or didn’t want to reply to an English language mail.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>According to what I read, de Luna was using those old motifs and production methods most faithfully in the early years up to 1915 or so.&nbsp; But I doubt it will matter an awful lot in value as my piece is damaged. And I intend to keep it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
