<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 12472496, member: 10944&quot;]The decoration has survived in incredible vividness/brightness if they are indeed that old. It’s hard to get a feel of their age in your photos other than the extreme brightness of decoration. Based on that I’d think not that old. Then again I saw an auction recently of Chinese export porcelains. The collection consisted of examples in extremely fine condition with incredibly well preserved enamels. It was shocking (for me) to see 18th century porcelain that was so well preserved. You could have told me it was all made yesterday the enamels were so nice. My level of collecting finances assures me that when I buy old porcelain, it looks like old procelain. Well preserved pieces of that era do exist though, so one must rely on more than just patina/age related wear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
