Fake Susie Cooper miniature sets

Once again these horrid little fake coffee sets seem to be appearing on auction sites - one currently has bids of £220! A good attempt at copying Tiger Lily - the fake factory mark is fuzzy and irregular when compared with the real thing. The appearance of these fakes was first reported in the Antiques Trade Gazette in 1997. They are not children's nursery ware or 1930's travellers samples. No genuine Susie Cooper miniatures have ever been recorded. I've even seen sellers claiming they are rare 'attic finds'.
