Hi, I've been meaning to get back with you on your Ebay post. You did a lot of staging with the blue fabric-well done. And, this is just my opinion and do not mean to offend you. Your first picture...

Hello, Your poster and information may be found at the DBA Library of Virginia at this link which provides history and a place to request information: http://edu.lva.virginia.gov/dbva/items/show/18...

I don't know about the moist sponge in the hole comment, the more I think about it - ha! Goodnight....

Hello, I wrote previously asking for a better picture of the hallmark shown, and I know sometimes they are difficult to photograph clearly. When I first saw your porcelain figures....I thought Dresden...

The attached double gourd vase with the same marking as your, sold for $100 on 12/16 (Ebay), Another one that was similar, sold for $95.00 on 4/13 (also Ebay). Just some extra info....

If the mark that I've attached is like yours....and I think it is, then it is Chinese. Jingdezhen Zhi meaning: Jingdezhen Make. Date: 1950-70 ?

Truly beautiful....is there any way you can get a better picture of the Hallmark that looks like an "S" with something over it?

Thank you! I will research and let you know what I come up with on the link provided...

I have some McCoy pottery, but the value is definitely lower than it use to be some years ago. The blue bird bow knot G667 is very rare and it is difficult to find information pertaining to the value....

As suggested, I did the hot pin test. There was no smell and I had to push down really hard but did see an indentation in the material using a loop. Photo is attached. Maybe celluloid? Thank you!
