Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png): 

Hi all, I am a very amateur collector and recently inherited my grandfathers collection of blue and white chinese porcelain after he suddenly passed away.

When I was cleaning out his estate buried in the basement under a bunch of his belongings was an old damaged trunk that was pretty much rusted shut. I was planning on throwing it out but when I picked it up I could tell something was inside so I pried it open.

Inside I found a rather large blue and white porcelain figure of a baby holding a cat, the baby is wearing an apron and the apron has a pattern I have never seen before, it also has images of three clouds and what looks to be a dragon or rooster It's hard to tell as its faded a bit. There are no markings or clues as to who made it that I can find.

My question is does anyone know what this is? or represents? Any idea when it may have been made? My grandfather left absolutely no info on it. I have taken quite a few pictures of it I have posted on my site http://www.ghostpix.com/baby/

The figure is almost 13 inches high and about 9 inches wide. I would guess weighs upwards of 5lbs

Please see the 10 images I have posted on the link.

I appreciate your time and any help you can give me in this a great deal.

Thanks
Brendan

handed down from grandparents
Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png): 

I have 2 sets of tea cups with saucers that were handed down to me by my grandmother and grandfather. My grandmother is from Montreal, Quebec and my grandfather is from upstate, NY. I know they traveled a lot but if they are from 1904-1927 my grandparents would have been children when these were made. I did some research online and found a web site that has the mark listed http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/silesia/waldenburg_1/00.php the particular mark that is on my set is image either 1-22 or 1-23 I cant tell if the color is blue or green, I think its green. Other than this web site, I cant find any other info or items that are for sale with this mark. I don't really know what exactly I have, so I would just like to know more about the pieces...
