<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 346239, member: 308"]Thank you for your response Asian Fever. I am afraid that I can't tell if the decoration has faded or not. There is stripe around the top portion which separates into two lines at one point but merges back into one stripe. I've included a picture of the separation below. The bottom stripe is solid all the way around. It definitely is intentional. I do not see any sign of further decoration beyond the "smudge" in the middle. I initially dismissed the smudge as a fingerprint or some kind of individual artisan mark to keep track of how many items were produced. I realize now that I may have been imposing a western standard on a process I do not understand. The smudge could be some type of animal perhaps? I do not see any other decoration beyond those already mentioned. Don</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]116947[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
