<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 170555, member: 50&quot;]Hi, I think the first thing when asking for opinions on any pottery item it&#039;s important to include photos including the base and information about any markings on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The base of an item often provides more insight into what something is than any other part of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m wondering is if you&#039;re being swayed by the color. Green celadon is a greenish shade you&#039;ll often see on Asian ceramics however similar colors are also popular on other ceramics. Modern Asian ceramics can look very old and in many cases have been faked to resemble antiquities.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I look at the photo of your bowl it for all the world looks to me like modern mass produced dinnerware. I&#039;d prefer to be wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>A very good site for learning about Chinese and Japanese ceramics is gotheborg.com.&nbsp; The main site has lots of information and they have a discussion board that is pretty awesome. Unfortunately their discussion board has a yearly subscription fee.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
