Dear Golgatha

This is very modern. Wash your hands after handling this one.

Kind regards

Thanks. You mean the 'paint' is still wet. I haven't bought it.

Dear Golgatha

I was not referring to wet paint, but to the nasty habit Chinese fakers have of smearing engine oil or even human sewage on fake porcelains. You can see brown smears on the base. Be careful to wash your hands after handling porcelains with obvious smears on the base.

Kind regards

This is a poor copy of a late Ming Dynasty doucai fish bowl held at the NY Metropolitan Museum of Art.

What luck then that I didnĀ“t buy it.
