Inscriptions
"A la Porte Chinoise / No 29 / Place / de la / Bourse" is inscribed on the base surrounding the transfer printed mark (see 'other'). This is assumed to be the name and address of a French retail outlet. It is well known that retailers had porcelain marked specifically for their purposes with their store 'logo'.
