The Famile rose medallion tea set is lovely too. They are  always hard to capture Famille rose medallion under a camera, they are not very photogenic, also the same for Mandarin, they always appear cartoon like in my picture's I find, but that can not compare to how lovely they are in real light. The Yongcheng famille rose bowl is magnificent, and i wonder is it republic period.   The Blue and white plate below is that a Chinese Kangxi or a Wanli or Dutch. It is hard to see, it looks very interesting. Well that was an enjoyable Shelf thanks 15Stiftgasse that is a lovely collection and yes, Migularry is more expensive, as he always has the very best of every example. I always wonder where he finds so many good examples time and time again. I have gotten one or to bargains from him, and mind you that was years ago when he was less well known, and i find sometimes his auctions run a little too high price for me. Maybe it is the chinese, or dealers flock to him.[/QUOTE]
