<p>[QUOTE=&quot;trip98, post: 19590, member: 65&quot;]Long learning curve on Asian stuff for me anyway. Here is what I have observed and read -so far... Brand new imari doesn&#039;t have the depth of hand painting. Usually a&nbsp; new stuff has a decaled design or very tight stencil look, maybe along with some hand work.&nbsp; Also the color of glazes give good clues. Especially the orange/red and the cobalt blue. Old Jap Imari, the underglaze blue, is a bit sloppy and &quot;inky&quot;. Chinese imari is a slightly different blue, maybe more purplish and usually a little neater in application. Another consideration is how and where the gold over glaze is applied. Also to be considered are the&nbsp; design elements, clay, foot, color combo used, etc. BUT don&#039;t take my word for it...just my observations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
