<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 3038400, member: 5833"]The wings seem odd to me. As carefully modeled as the rest of it it, the wings are clearly stuck on with no attempt to make them look like they are growing out of the shoulders. 'Merged with the porcelain' seems to be code for 'blurry'. Maybe there's something about the color that dates it. I would not call it celadon as it looks in the photos, but maybe influenced by Asian pottery.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
