<p>[QUOTE=&quot;david heller III, post: 138020, member: 2014&quot;]I trust the feel of item when trying to judge the age, without seeing the item myself; the lip has been repaired either by the makers or later. i prefer the later. this does not count against the piece, the inside rim is not damage but looks to be an error in the firing of the piece and again counts for the piece. i have had items in my collection of similar age and i would put it around 17th to late 18th century, perhaps we can find out more if someone can read the writing? also keep in mind the Chinese makers do re-use writing on their pieces, this would include marks as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
