<p>[QUOTE="artsfarm, post: 192128, member: 3418"]Nice, it's got a great shape, definitely. If it doesn't look like there's varnish on it, try soaking it in hot water and some dish soap to try to get the paint off. I did that once and had a nice surprise. I bought a large footed bowl/comport with a pretty Art Nouveau design for a couple dollars at a yard sale years ago. It was painted completely in white paint with that awful gold 'antiquing' everyone did in the 80s. It looked like plain old latex paint, so I thought I'd soak it and see what happened. After about an hour, the paint started lifting off and I scrubbed it a bit. This amazingly beautiful thing emerged, and when I saw the Amphora marks underneath (they were hidden under thick paint), I flipped.
