Cracking and splitting, yes, but never foxing. Maybe I've been lucky.;) They also appear to be quite a bit higher quality than the usual fare, my guess is that they are actually gouache paintings on paper. I own several pith paintings including an exceptionally large one together with a set that are signed by the most respected of the export pith picture makers, Wing Tai Hing of Canton.[/QUOTE]
