<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9738755, member: 10944"]I have noticed that issue on Song pieces specifically on several occasions. I’m not well versed enough to tell when that’s good because the condition is so great or bad because they are fake and that’s why the condition is so good. The fact that Marco got this piece from an auction that had good online photos posted would make me more dubious about its authenticity. Authentic Song celadons don’t slip through the cracks of auctions with online presence cheaply, no matter how podunk the auction house. Unless Marco really paid up for it. If it crossed the block at under 500 I’d be pretty nervous. I’d be nervous at over 500 too but more so under 500. I’d think this would be worth several thousands at the very least if authentic and possibly quite a bit more. There are people whose job it is to scour the web for Chinese objects all day and doubtful they’d miss this with the great photos the auction house posted. Just my humble, grain of salt opinion. I very much hope it’s real (really old) and that Marco scored.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
