Hi Marc

Thanks for the nice pics of the figurines and pottery mark with wavy lines, and the T C letters.

Interesting one! Similar wavy lines to the Copenhagen mark, but not listed as a variation in any book I have. The figurines look very naive and simply done with no particular quality of styling and decoration, yet the new style of marking does not fit with the older era being depicted. This anachronistic treatment together with the lack of quality suggests one thing; cheap Far East imports.

A bit of a mystery, this one. I'll keep looking.

I found this mark to be listed as a 'fake mark' in http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com
