<p>[QUOTE="mmarco102, post: 4330801, member: 8289"]Greetings, I need some help and opinions. Just received this incense burner. Was listed as a brush pot(idiots) but that obviously wasn’t going to be true. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> It appears to be missing its lid as the inner rim shows. There is an extremely fine crackle that can only be seen with a loupe or handheld microscope. The microscope also reveals most if not all the bubbles in the glaze seem dried or hint of browning. It is descent quality and not common with being 5 footed. Lions on all five legs and 5”H X 8”W. I see what might be underglazed goldleaf or just gilding. There is no clear coat on top of glaze. As you can see in the 3rd photo, there is a ledge up underneath the top/above the bowl. The sticker on the bottom is incomplete and practically bonded to the glaze as it is near impossible to peak underneath without destroying it, which I don’t want to do at this time. You can see in a couple of the photos that behind each leg is a small hole. Absolutly no marks <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/mad.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" /> . I have seen only a few pieces from the Song Dynasty with this pallet and pattern, but then again possibly very new. What do you think?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]356131[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]356132[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]356133[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]356134[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]356135[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]356136[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]356137[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
