Hi,
Recently I bought a nice figurine . It was advertised as original but I have doubts now.
Tried to find out the mark but it is not easy.
Can anyone recognize that mark?

You bought it as an original ?/ Original what ?? That tells you nothing !!

Hi,
Do you know the mark ?
The seller did not provide me with the make but said it is original piece.

That makes no sense !! If he didn`t know the mark,,how would he know if original or not !! That seller just put one over on you !! He was trying to make a sale and didn`t care how he/she did it !! Can you show the figurine ?? Even if it was an original,,something,, you have to look at the quality of the artwork and the style !!

Sorry,, I do not mean to sound gruff but sellers that will take advantage have no place in business !!

Thank you very much for your reply. I think I was taken for a ride. I just started my collection so I presume I have a lot to learn before I start buying anything.
Kind regards

Can you show a pic of the figurine ?? It may be a nice one,, can`t tell without seeing it !! Don`t feel bad about making a common error !! I can`t tell you how many I have made !! But with each one I learned what not to do !! At least here we can help you make the correct choices before you spend your money !!
#1, If someone tells you a piece of pottery/porcelain is “original” ask what they mean by that and make them explain !! An original piece of art means that was the first done by the artist hand and signed by the artist !! Like the Mona Lisa is an original by Leonardo Da Vinci is an original !!
But that is a term rarely used with pottery or porcelain because the factory never makes just one !! These things were made to sell and making a mold for one would be cost prohibitive !! A mold made piece will always have a hole in the bottom !! Otherwise the piece would explode in the kiln !! Old items usually have a very small hole,, more modern pieces have a large hole !! If you have questions just post them here !! I will be happy to help you make good choices for your collection !! If I don`t know,,I will find out !!
