Message:: [QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 10477190, member: 10944"]AJ is spot on. There were periods when porcelain paste with a bluish hue was more prevalent. I don’t know them off the top of my head and they are only a clue not a hard determinant. I actually found a website that explained the periods this was common that I was going to post in reply to your query. I got side tracked and now I can’t find it. I had to word the search just perfectly to find it. Otherwise you get lots of results about cobalt and celadon glazes. That is all I can find now unfortunately. Most glazes are pretty impervious to things other than contact I think. Some colors fade more than others over time. For example if it sat untouched on the ground in a place that didn’t freeze it could probably survive pretty well without damage. That’s my understanding at least. I may be wrong. That said it feels a bit too “fresh” to me. I don’t trust my opinion enough to bet on it though. If you can spare the $18 for a pro appraisal I think this is one it’s worth doing it on. There’s a lot of potential upside if it is old.[/QUOTE]
