Interlaced 'L's' enclosing PP Year mark for 1793, Artist's mark P' for Jean-Jacques Pierre Jeune. Incised potters mark

A long restored crack running from thr rim, through the well. Some kiln spit and minor wear to the gilded detail. A small filled chip to the rim.
Dimensions.
24.3cm.
Please see our other items. We generally have several hundred items listed here and elsewhere. If you have a particular collecting sphere, or simply wish to know about all of the stock, please contact us.
We use recycled packaging. It may not look pretty, but it helps our environmental footprint!
We do not offer combined postage.
If the postage policy specifies that postage is included, we will send by tracked postage, rather than tracked and signed. If you wish for the latter, please let us know. There will be an additional charge which we will notify to you.
When we send by tracked alone the item will be at your risk from the point that we can prove, by means of showing a delivery confirmation, that it was delivered to your premises. Until that point, the item will be at our risk.
We are prepared to deliver all over the world, except (for obvious reasons, given the Russian state's unprovoked acts of aggression in Ukraine) to Russia.
We aim to ensure that our descriptions are absolutely accurate. Nevertheless, antique porcelain is never perfect. We use high definition photography with the aim of making the condition of any item extremely clear. Defects which are obvious in the photography we use are deemed to have been declared, even if we do not specifically refer to them in the description.
Restoration is sometimes extremely difficult to detect. We use UV light and transmitted light to check whether restoration has occurred. Sometimes, even those methodologies do not reveal restoration. If you are able, notwithstanding the definition, to show that restoration of a significant nature has occurred, we would obviously allow cancellation of the sale in such circumstances.
Important
We charge postage at cost for international buyers. Please ask us for a quotation for international postage. We generally ship with the Royal mail, tracked and signed. Please do not pay for the item until we provide you with a postage quotation. To facilitate that process please let us have your PayPal or email details.
We do not generally point out crazing, and do not regard it as a defect worth mentioning in pieces of the age we sell, unless it is not completely noticeable in photographs and is both extensive and undiscoloured. If you have concerns as to whether a piece is crazed, please ask us.
