[QUOTE="UncleChuckTX, post: 65868, member: 154"]Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts. Laura, I googled until my eyes crossed, and never came up with the links you found. Thanks. And I apologize for forgetting the measurements - it is 8.5" high, 3-1/8" x 2-3/16" at the rim, and 2-7/8" x 2-1/4" at the base. It's about 4.75" at the widest point. I agree, the glaze on mine is much sloppier. And certain elements of the design are not molded as crisply, OR the base green glaze is pooled around their edges (sloppy). The other thing I noticed is that the mark on mine is raised (embossed) instead of incised / impressed. I don't know what that adds to the puzzle... Here are a couple of close-ups of the dragons. It seems the most detailed of out all the separate pieces. I think you can click to get the full-size pics. [ATTACH=full]16994[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]16995[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
