And you've probably guessed that I am in love with European porcelain - to the point of perusing sites even when I'm not researching for someone - I love that whole genre of "Bavarian". Anything with roses on it gets my heart a-pumpin'. I feel like I know you also, from your own posts. And Chris Marshall who worked closely with me for a looong time to identify a fake porcelain that was coming frequently into e-bay.
Fakes have proliferated I suspect along with internet buying habits perhaps? And along with antique "malls" where you don't have the shop owner available on site ?
Education is the key.
All I can add is that I'm glad I'm kinda' poor. Because if I were rich I would soon BE poor as my house would be filled to the brim with gorgeous porcelain, and glass. - Thanks - KB
