Title: How about another porcelain .. Post by: George on April 21, 2016, 06:21:37 pm Lets see if I am on track with this one.
Undergalze blue and copper red, concentric rings, 3 3/8", which best I am able to guess may be Late 18th, Early 19th . But, I do not understand either the band design, or the way the dots are laid out. And would also really like to see deeper concentric rings for a Late 18th, Early 19th bottle. So a couple things are bothering me about it. The scene is from the Romance of the Western Chambers. The one person ( attendant ? ) that is introducing had to do with informing the seated official of an upcoming event or play.. Thought I bookmarked it, but not able to find it again. Steven noted on a previous exampled theme (http://snuffbottle.smfforfree.com/index.php/topic,2418.msg30702.html#msg30702) that the lady in the bubble is imagining that she is dating with the young guy, kinda like day dream. Not sure why the buyer asked to return it, but I agreed and am just going hang on to it.. Title: Re: How about another porcelain .. Post by: Steven on April 21, 2016, 07:51:25 pm Sorry George,
You have to study more before buying porcelain bottles. >:(the decoration is wrong, so is the painting style. Steven Title: Re: How about another porcelain ..

I tried to be as patient as possible before posting. Broke open a few books, magazines, etc, and thought I was on track.. But those of you who know me, know well I am not well studied with porcelain ;) For you new members.. Here is a perfect example of me still making mistakes ! I expect there will be even more mistakes to be shared in the future as well :D It's a heck of a learning curve.. Thank you Steven ... |
