<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ce BCA, post: 9563470, member: 18716&quot;]That&#039;s interesting.&nbsp; The style is Kraak from the late Wanli (Chinese), but afaik they never made them in polychrome.&nbsp; The ridges to the underside are known as &#039;chatter&#039;, but these almost look like they were added on purpose.&nbsp; Then there is the gilt, which would never have survived from the Wanli period, and also the marks which I also can&#039;t place.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;m stumped, I doubt they would be intended as forgeries as making them in polychrome would seem to be pointless.&nbsp; The construction feels right for late Ming, but they look wrong decoratively.&nbsp; Is the polychrome overglaze?&nbsp; Just wondering if someone could have overpainted originals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
