I have a very old porcelain, hand-painted brass ormolu mounted jewelry casket with a total mystery mark (attached). I have the Korvel book of porcelain marks, and I’ve not found it there nor have I found it on Google. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Shown mark was applied by a Chinese producer of mass-produced decowares; your mark was commonly used around 2005/07 if I remember correctly.

Please be advised to NOT use such items to store foodsfuffs (cookies, candy) as the glazes and metal parts contain high levels of lead, cadmium and mercury. Resellers in the US simply removed the warning stickers to make their made-up stories of age and origin more believable.

Maybe the Chinese were using that mark a lot longer than that because that jewelry casket was in my mother-in-law’s house for the longest time. I actually can’t even remember how long. She passed away a few years ago at the age of 91, and I’ve been with my husband for 40 years. The casket is a beautiful porcelain piece. There’s no way this could be cheap Chinese porcelain. My mother-in-law collected Herend, and I inherited all of her pieces. She also collected other miscellaneous porcelain pieces, mostly European. I would be happy to post a picture if you’d like. I do appreciate your response. Thank you.
