<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hamburger, post: 3802986, member: 17940&quot;]Yes, I believe that&#039;s what it&#039;s called. <i>Perlmutt</i> effect in German.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes. For me as a non-expert it&#039;s impossible to guess if a number denotes a factory/workshop, bench/painter, edition/year/run, or design (either pattern/decor or shape/form). That&#039;s why I was hoping someone might be able to tell me something about the style and/or period. Recognising the manufacturer or anything more specific would of course be wonderful!</p><p><br /></p><p>The longer numbers might be part numbers for the various &#039;accessory&#039; pieces: 01728 appears on both the teapot and its lid, 01730 on the sugar bowl and 01732 on the milk jug. The cups and saucers don&#039;t have longer numbers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Acting on a suggestion made in a PM (thank you!), I&#039;ve now also asked about this service on a German-language forum and will report back if there are any helpful responses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
