old china help
« on: October 13, 2012, 11:43:45 pm »
Hi all Long time no see. I know you need pics but this is a general question. I have a plate that has a hand painted portrait on it and the word Sorrent on the back. I can find nothing for Sorrent only Sorrento but definitely no letter O on the end. Has anybody heard of sorrent china/porcelain/pottery??? It is old

No, but sometimes fakes are made and done similarly to make people think they are buying an original when they are not !!

Amiga, what Mart was saying is that there is a good possibility that it is a "fake" piece because of the misspelled name of a highly collectible artist or pottery. 

For instance, if you purchased a piece of signed "Tiffeny" thinking it was a super-duper great buy, ....  you would be wrong ...... because the great buys are signed "Tiffany".

A per say "misspelled" name doesn't violate Trademark Laws.
