Dear George,

     I agree with Steven, but do not understand your reference to "Japanese fakes". What connection has Japan to fake IPSBs?
 
   There was no tradition of Japanese IP work.
I can understand Japanese copying (I would not use the term faking) Chinese Imperial Palace Workshops and other  Ivory SBs, or Cinnabar Lacquer SBs (though the Cinnabars I've seen are all obviously Japanese, and usually BETTER than the Chinese examples), or Embellished wares (with the same 2 conditions as the previous example); but not IPSBs.
Best,
Joey


Thanks Curt for sharing!

But I think the Ding Erzhong bottle from Tang collection is a fake one. I have seen a couple of fake ding bottles on the market. Be cautious, they are good copies, but we better watch closer.Smiley

I think that is where this is going.. I have to find where I read it, but the Tang bottle is one of a few that are somehow or for some reason connected to Japanese fakes..
