<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kardinalisimo, post: 271950, member: 118&quot;]Mine does not have exactly the same colors but same shape and design. Different colors would make no difference.</p><p>Wear is a relative term. Depends on how often the item was used, if used at all, as well as on the quality of the enamels, firing etc.</p><p>You can have a 200 years old piece with almost no wear and a very recent one that looks beat up.</p><p>Not sure how do you judge the wear on your bowl but if you are talking about the rubbing on the blue decoration, I think it is a result from poor quality.</p><p>Even if the bowl is not mid century but a bit older it still would not make a lot of difference. The value of the Chinese ceramics depends on quality and rarity. Age also matters but you can have a Republic or even later piece that is rare or by a famous artist that is many times more valuable than a much older but common piece. Condition is also very important but in same cases chils and other damages are acceptable if the piece is desirable.</p><p>If you still think that your bowl is sometimes more special the easiest way is just to list it on Ebay. Chinese buyers will know better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
