<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kelly Graziano, post: 13248246, member: 86665&quot;]Thank you for all the comments.&nbsp; I see what you&#039;re saying, the clay is wrong, the stamp says it&#039;s not special.&nbsp; I agree that it&#039;s probably not Tang. What confuses me about this charming little duck is the way the form and glaze conform to the tradition in some ways but not in others.&nbsp; It&#039;s hand built, not molded.&nbsp; The lotus bowl opens to the body -- so it isn&#039;t really a bowl, the sancai glaze is bright and shows even wear except where it&#039;s thick, and then it has a faceted crackle and white haze.&nbsp; Even the cobalt eyes are hazed. The hand-built botanical elements strike me as unusual, too.&nbsp; And the clay is black.&nbsp; So -- who made this?&nbsp; When and where?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
