[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4587501, member: 2844"]It is indeed a Wong Lee piece, and the 1895 date stands for the end of the Sino-Japanese war, a century before the company was founded in 1995: [URL]http://thepotteries.org/fake/WL.htm[/URL] In general, Chinese have a much stronger sense of history than many people in the West. There is a difference between fake crazing and a style-related craquelure or crackle. Since this item has a recent mark, and you say it comes with a dishwasher warning, it is clear that this craquelure is style-related, and not intended to fake. Besides, even if people believe this was made in 1895, surely they can't believe that such extreme crazing occurs in a little over a century. Sunday, don't get me wrong, I think it is good that you warn against fakes. But China probably exports millions of household ceramics a year, and it is impossible to include those in fakes warnings.[/QUOTE]
