<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 9429719, member: 308"]One way to tell French from Chinese is by the material. Most French boxes will be made of porcelain but the Chinese boxes are thicker and feel more like stoneware. Also check the difference in the quality of the mounts. The French mounts are usually a bit more delicate looking and a brighter golden color than the Chinese mounts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
