Would you remove the felt on the bottom of this peice? It is solid underneath, and I am very curious to see if it has a makers mark. How could I remove it safely if I did?

LOL! I have very similar to that which just sold, only in different colors! I can tell you what is underneath it!
YOURS:
MINE:
It says "Made In China" underneath. I don't remember if it is a sticker or stamped (I believe it is a sticker). It isn't old (about 5-6 years at most).
EDITED BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T EXACTLY THE SAME

They look very similar to one another.. but not exactly. I think this one may be a bit older than 5-6 years - it looks like it has at least that much dust and dirt on it! I haven't cleaned it up yet.
I might end up doing what I normally don't do... keep it!

Sure...remove the felt. You should be able to soak it off with warm water. As long as, the decoration is under the glaze, the water won't hurt a thing.
If the bidder is happy, then it is a good thing! I thought of Cinderella when I first saw it too.
I've looked on eBay for some similar items, I can find several that are close, but no cigar. One that is marked "Made in occupied japan" is going for way more than the others.
