Hi,

This is my first post and I am a bit stuck with trying to find the maker of this ormolu set crackle glazed item that I found at a chateau sale.

Can anybody help?

Cheers

Monte

What a coincidence! Thank you so much for your reply. What would amateurs like me do without all you brilliantly knowledgeable people out there.

Many thanks

I believe this may be a fake, often attributed to William Lowe, but made in Hong Kong by Wong Lee.often seen in red or blue

Even antiques experts have been fooled by these marks.

Ormolu means gilded bronze
