You probably will have little luck in finding the mark in regard to anything vintage...I think it comes from the "Land of Make Believe". ;)

hi fancy--it was located already for me (thanks all), and the mark is horrible but the bowl itself is really pretty.  Why would a company put that much work into a fake?  And i didn't realize they were pansies so thanx for that too

hi mart
