    I was hoping to tap into your collective brains on this one. I bought a bronze mirror and upon receiving it, the verdigris/patina looks to have been applied to me though I’m hoping someone was just a bit cavalier in cleaning it. The fact that there’s dirt encrusted into it (despite a possible cleaning), also throws up a few red flags.
    Anyway, any and all thoughts are appreciated :)

    I've had my share of Chinese repros from bi discs to ink stones so I really should have known better :facepalm: Always helps to see things "in the flesh" before buying. Have contacted the auction house but haven't heard back...
