Hi Tim,
Thank you for the explanation in post #15, I see what you mean and agree that something like that could have happened, although it is difficult to tell.

Hi Brian,
Thank you for your post, which must have taken you some time to write

.
I do, as you well know, agree with you a long way down the road. I also agree that a big part of the enamel must have been made in Lucknow, and either sold there or somewhere else, as Lucknow was famous for their enamel work and was a centre for enamel making – although not the only one. You know, that I don’t believe in everything I read, and that I believe in comparison, like I believe in the fact that there must be ‘unknown’ sources out there somewhere, which, when they are found should be used.
