Possible Luneville? Help identifying Marks and era. Thanks

[yattypat]

Greetings, I have been interested in antiques for decades and somewhat capable of research ;-)  I recently acquired these pieces in a storage auction.  They are very beautiful and excellent shape but I can not find any info on what they are or the signature.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and good will.
Patty

thanks greenacres.  gotheberg has a nice site, I have used it before but didn't see my marks on there for this piece.  Do you think they are japanese? Can anyone tell me what these are called or perhaps the era>

Thanks again

Hi Patty Beautiful pieces how big are they?? They are not Chinese or Japanese, I believe the mark is an artist signature/ mark. Also from your photo look to be transfer printed porcelain with gilded metal tops & bases. Very Victorian feel, and for some reason I am pulled toward  thinking they are in the Limoges family/ style.  Your mark seems to have a 5.  s and a fancy K. I think the gilded metal bases with acorn design may hold some keys,  Try searching  transfer printed porcelain with gilded metal tops & bases acorn design (or a variation along those lines) good luck

Hey thanks Wendy, I have exhausted my search for chinese or japanese lol.  I think you have great points for me to refocus my reseach.  I thought it looked like chinese/japanese character marks.  I forgot to add on my original post that there is also a 56J, a 3 laying in a different direction and another imprint I can't make out.  I didn't even think to research the very specific gilt detail, I am sleepy today lol.  I really appreaciate all the feed back.  There is so much to know and learn, I am always amazed.  I am hoping they are worth something as I deffinetly got caught up in the biding war and paid a wee bit more than my comfort zone for the storage locker I got them from.  But then, no risk no gain either.  Take care

Wendy is right !! Not either one !!  Odd signature !!

The vases are marked with similar artist mark painted on and a 569 stamped in pottery. They measure 13" tall and 7" wide including gilt metal.  The middle piece is stamped 569 as well and measures from top of gilt handle to bottom of foot 11" tall and from gilt handle to handle 14.5".  The bottom and inside of the pieces are a beautiful yellow, so I guess this is transferware???  Still a rookie.  I am also adding pictures of the bottom marks.  There is the 569, and sideways 3, and another small mark I can't make out or recognize.  Again I really truly appreciate any help!!

Hi again.  I am wondering if these could be Minton?  Please see additional pictures.  Any help appreciated.  Looks like some marks I found from the 1800's Minton. If anyone has a good reference for Minton let me know.  Thanks again
Patty

Thank you I will go there.  xx

Let us know what you find out. I'm curious because I didn't see a Minton marking like that.

I will for sure.  I have been looking all day, good grief :-)  Looking at Sevres and learning about brass mounts and ormolu.  Phew! I tried to get into the site you posted but was banned because I typed in a 4 instead of four in the security question area. Will try again later, looks like a good place to post.
