<p>[QUOTE=&quot;shamster, post: 10395100, member: 85821&quot;]So a few days ago I posted a thread about a Qianglong three-legged toad mini brushwasher with glue all over its body and I decided to give it another chance. I also bought a very similar brushwasher with a hole on the butt hoping they can be displayed together as a pair.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I have done everything I can as a new collector to restore them and they’re ready to be shown! Sadly, I have tried all chemicals I have to clean the ink in that hairline, but none of them worked. It’s been stuck in for perhaps a century and become very tough, so I’ll just leave it there. Also some scratches appeared near the hairline as a result of physical removal…<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /> but a small piece of tape does the trick and the glaze looks fine!</p><p><br /></p><p>I have posted them in various angles so people might learn how the details on porcelain that old look like. However, if you have different opinions on dating, I will be happy to hear and learn!</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way what should I do with them apart from planting my corals?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]523150[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]523151[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]523152[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]523147[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]523148[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]523149[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
