<p>[QUOTE="linda gerwinat, post: 238753, member: 4660"]Hi, Thanks for your reply....Like you I am not really into Italian tin glaze....I would like to own a few drug jars but they are out of my price range!! If you have an extensive collection of eighteenth century wares, then you are only too well aware that feel and touch are everything, photos do not show everything....I know that Walter has a good knowledge, but even experts can be wrong...we all get it wrong sometimes. The problem is not that I am offended, but the sheer frustration of trying to show a poor impress mark on the limited media of a photo. If you could see it, you would see that the part of the mark that has taken could not be a glaze imperfection, and then why would there be a patch of tin glaze in the centre of an unglazed bottom, if not for a reason. However. I stress that it was not the mark, but the vase that convinced me it was C1800. I'm sorry, Say it slowly, like I said before, this is not for me....and I plan to unsubscribe....but thanks for your interest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
