Hi Bill
Welcome to this discussion.I think very highly of Bill H,s Judgement he is always helpfull to anyone who asks,and very good on translation,s,and i am sure he has a good sense of humor (ihope)!!.Going back to your comments on everyone learning from each other i totaly agree,some of us see things in one light,and others see other things.I just happen to think The Chinese potters can still make lovely items I would recommend anyone to read Anthony Allens books An Introduction to Chinese Porcelain and Authentication of Chinese Porcelain. He is a wonderfull writer the books are so readable and funny on his observations of the trade ,i bought a nice Cockeral plate after reading about them in his books.I have attached a picture Mr allen dates these to 1925,but i guess Bill will have other ideas
