Topic: Another mystery,with metal stand

[antiquerose123]

Hi there Keith:
Any marking on the underside (inside bottom) of the Brass?  I had something similar here (sort of ??) and it had a Gold Foil Label on it stating it WAS MADE IN INDIA.

Thinking about these, I'm wondering if the metalware is made in India and the ceramic in Holland, and then they are combined somewhere?  So much metalware comes out of India that it's a possibility?

That what I was wondering too...
The pic I here posted of mine did not have a felt bottom (not sure if it did at one time) but because it had not felt on it, then bottom inside metal was exposed and that is where it had the Made in India label (gold foil).

Maybe the pieces were a *marriage* (??) of two companies making one product (??).  Does the felt lift up at all?

All three have a different base,the one on the left,after a wipe down,clearly says 'Holland' the felt base,stuck fast,has lettering that looks like 'Holland' and the other has the remnants of what looks like a paper label,can't find any made in India marks,Keith.

The Holland is on the ceramic part though Keith?

[keith]

It's like an unglazed part of the base where the metal is stuck to the bowl,it definitely says 'Holland'

That's what I thought, which supports my theory of Holland-made ceramic and India-made metal. :thup:  The metalware is often unmarked.
