[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 320589, member: 85"]At the turn of the century ladies enjoyed China painting as a hobby. What they did was buy white china blanks, what Janet is calling green ware. They would then paint the china either free hand or from patterns. Often you will see a name and a date on the bottom which helps identify it as hobbiest. Some were more professional and signed their names in the artwork itself. Some isn't signed at all. As in all art, there are good painters and some not so good. I think yours was one of the more talented ones.[/QUOTE]
