Subject:"priceless" piece from the Srednick Collection
Posted By: Dan C Sat, Apr 09, 2016 IP: 208.100.154.228 We have inherited this small pot from a friend who bought it from the Srednick Collection (I think purchased in LA.) She told us it was "priceless" and had great value. The authenticity certificate says it is Famille Rose porcelain produced during the Yung Cheng reign. It has no mark other than that on the top of the lid. I have not seen anything like this in my research. Can you give an approximate value for this? Was she sold a "bill of goods"? Thanks much for the assistance. |

Posted By: Dan C Mon, Apr 11, 2016 Thank you both for your reply. In my search for Familie Rose images, I felt the same, but wanted to have more knowledgable people verify that there was not any "outlier" styles I had not seen. Thank you for your help. I will see if they can provide the requested info for any identification you might glean from new photos. |

Posted By: us Mon, Apr 11, 2016 Perhaps a misunderstanding? Why not check with the source? There is a book, about the Srednick collection, on Amazon, etc. Perhaps there is a catalog available of the Srednick collection that would resolve the matter. There also seem to be some Srednick collection pieces listed on ebay. I would have guessed that it might be modern Japanese art pottery, but have no expertise and must defer to those who do have expertise in ceramics. |

Posted By: snap Tue, Apr 12, 2016 Any time something changes hands there is room for misunderstanding. So someone bought something at a Srednick store (they dealt in a lot of things) and maybe a certificate became attached to something other than the original purchase. Same thing occurs with boxes. |

Posted By: Gman Thu, Apr 14, 2016 No offense on the piece posted in this thread, but the word "priceless" in the title brought back fond memories. |
