Post by: bat20 on February 16, 2017, 08:42:47 PM

Hi all,I came across this piece today on my lunch break,it's 12" ht with good wear to the foot,there is a few air bubbles and the odd small white inclusion.I could be well out but my gut feeling is continental and dating to about 1870?,any thoughts much appreciated,thanks.

Portieaux-Vallerysthal did this kind of colour combination

or rather, I have seen that colour combination from them. However I don't know about the history of the company or how Portieaux combined with Vallerysthal.  I looked into it once and it got very complicated.

Thanks m I'll look into it,the handle looks a bit more Brown than Amber if that makes any difference.

yes, it still has a French look to the combination though and the foot perhaps?
I'd start with that and Sevres maybe?

that should read Portieux I think.
