I would like to know the maker, period, and possible worth of this children’s doll dinnerware that I may sell. Given the following numbered details, I will be very appreciative of any help identifying this set/sets.

1. These dishes may be 2 incomplete sets. I am drawn to that conclusion because there are 16 plates. Of the 16 plates, 2 each show the same scene, giving me a total of 8 slightly different scenes.

2. I have been told that it was likely made in France or Bavaria around 1920 to 1930.

3. There are two items that appear to be normal adult sized pieces with identical patterns as the small ones. One is a damaged covered sugar bowl and the other is also a bowl, but I am unsure what type. (It reminds me of a rice bowl.)

4. The only piece that has a mark of any type, other than a few with a small empty circle in the middle of the bottom of the piece, is the one that reminds me of a rice bowl. It has a rather faint handwritten N and an empty circle in the middle of the bowl. Because of its size, the N actually goes through part of the empty circle. I am including a filtered picture along with others because the N and circle can be seen better that way.

I will be happy to supply additional photos, but will upload the maximum size alloted here.

Thank you so much. Vickie Likis

Old Paris is simply a broad term for any pottery made around that area !! Like Capodimonte in Italy,, anyone in that region can use that mark !! Its just regional !! Most now just use that term for anything similar because it sounds better/more expensive than “Made in Japan”!! If you are going to sell it you can certainly use thhat term if you wish but if it were me,, I would say “Old Paris ” style,, not that it definitely was Old Paris !! That way you don`t get bit in the butt !!

Good idea. I do not want or need any butt biting. 🙂 In cases like this, when you don’t know what you have nor any idea what it might bring how do handle it? I know it is only worth what someone is willing to pay but I don’t want to set myself up to just give things away. I just started on eBay and have already had a couple of instances where I ended up in the red and minus the item. It’s all good, as I am learning from my mistakes, but a little profit for my effort would be nice. Thanks!
