Nearly forgot to add this to list..
Have to disagree BB - had a pocket watch fingerplate enamel made in Switzerland and it knocked spots off any British enamel sign.
I have a very rare, French enamel made late 19th century - judging by the dress. Hand enamelled. Even signed by the enameller. I'm going to sell this as well as all the other enamels I am clearing.

Only a photo of it now BB, which I'm struggling to upload. It has been posted on the site before, maybe in late 2012. I'll see if I can find the thread.
Sorry - some of us are earning a crust all day.
I'll just add that it is black on white on blue, and ALL the black was raised up off the base metal just like the decoration on a Moorcroft vase. No firing marks, no bits of frit dropped on the face, absolute quality and prefectly made right down to the smallest detail. I really regret selling it to tell you the truth.
