Thank you. What I have learned here is that I need to familiarize myself with all reproduction items just as much as I do the real items and not buy anything unless I can see and touch it in person. Otherwise, who would know the difference.

The amount of counterfeiting and misrepresentation of porcelain signs is just staggering. I would not be surprised even a little bit if the entire market for authentic items collapses due to most people not knowing what's real and what isn't. I hate to say it, but I feel like this becoming more of a reality every day.
