Seriously, Can You Help Me?

All of the previous posts have been informative or instructional, this one is neither.


Several years ago I read an article about these unique little ceramic pieces and their popularity.   Then one day while treasure hunting, I found this one. However, now I can't find the article, which has to be the only one I don't have, and I find very little helpful information.


The original sticker on the bottom says "OriginalArnartCreation", "Japan". It also has the two crossed feathers and the numbers 33/156 (no letters).

The PM&M (Porcelain Marks & More) website discusses the authenticity (or not) of arrows with three or more feathers, however, mine has only two feathers on each arrow. I cannot find a makers mark that matches what I have, or mention of this mark as being fake.

This is a small piece which measures 3 1/2" high X 4" across, is round, and has fruit, leaves, and tiny flowers on the top.


Can someone help me, or lead me to a website that gives more specific information for Arnart?
Thank you!

    I also have a 2' tall center piece fruit basket with only 2 feathers 33/196 inherited from my Grandmother. Based on her other collections, "it ain't cheap"
