Message Hello to all! I just bought 4 pieces of what I believe are Kangi blue/white porcelain from a very nice estate (lots of 18th c. and older antiques of all types). I'm writing for help with this one large jug that has a hallmark...measures 13.5" (33.75cm) tall. Very fine detail on the landscape design. Here's a link to detailed photos... http://www.flickr.com/photos/23676403@N07/sets/72157625220337316/ What does the hallmark say? What would you call this? Water jug? Wine Jug? I can't find anything of this size or design. Does the hallmark suggest it is imperial? It is damaged, the spout was broken off and restored (then the restored spout was damaged), and there is a 1" (2.5cm) long chip just above the foot rim. Should I restore if I plan to sell, or sell as is?? Your help is appreciated. Regards, Tim Post a Response |
