The shape of the bowl and the incised rings are both unfamiliar to me as Shiwan pottery styles.</p><p><br /></p><p>Could really use some help.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]529341[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]529342[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]529343[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]529344[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]529345[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]529346[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]529347[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]529348[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
