[QUOTE="blooey, post: 2360240, member: 12007"]I find it very odd that there are no other examples of 19thc "Japanese" reverse glass paintings of this type and quality. Almost all "Japanese" reverse glass paintings are mainly mis-identified Chinese works. Period pieces, be they from either China or Japan are FAR higher quality than these, which to me seem hurried and formulaic. Also odd that Meiji period craftsmen (working in any material) tended to produce very finely executed objects while your wooden frames are executed in what I would describe as a rather slap-dash manner. I'm sure you are set on your assessment of these things, so I'll leave it at that.[/QUOTE]
