[QUOTE="Ke.Ma, post: 9825098, member: 87334"]You're welcome. It is really hard to find a bargain on Chinese ceramics nowadays. Most (I'd say above 60%) of the items on the market are fake. There're many people just focus on making them. If you're interested in old Chinese ceramics I'd suggest find some credible antique dealers who have deal with those items for years and start with common and cheap ones first. Regarding to the bottom ring. Since the color of it is mostly the same, I assume it is a different kind of glaze(mostly used during early to mid Qing dynasty) to protect the foot(bottom ring). The trace of use I talked about is like the pic below: [ATTACH=full]489851[/ATTACH] The top surface of the glaze after years of use will fall and expose the white body.[/QUOTE]
