identification mark of porcelain produced by St.Claud factory in the 17 hundreds

Dear duckdr,

Since there is no "St. Claud" porcelain, I am absolutely sure that you
actually mean "St. Cloud". Here is a description of how the products
of the St.-Cloud porcelain factory were marked in the 17th century,
taken from a French website on antique French china and fayences:

"The pieces are marked: 'C'. And on the royal pieces, in blue under
the glaze: 'Le soleil Louis XIV'. The usual mark is: 'T', sometimes
accompanied by an engraved lily. On very nice pieces: 'SCT'. Some
pieces are unmarked; on others, there are only chiffres, or a circle,
points, a cross, or a star. The marks are generally in blue."

Dear duckdr,

I have, alas, no idea what might be going wrong when you try to view
the images. I did not encounter any problems. But I will ask my
colleagues for additional opinions.
