<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 511339, member: 8363"]James. Thank you so much for this information and for taking the time to track it down. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I have been collecting for 20+ years and have never bought at an on line auction before. After some early bad choices, I learned what to look for from a major collector who showed me how to examine a piece and determine if it is genuine. (He had a cold storage vault with thousands of pieces.) Unfortunately, my knowledge is predicated on having the piece in my hand. Over the years, I have examined hundreds of pieces and have purchased 12 genuine pieces. Two of which I had authenticated by Chinese textile experts. The collector who taught me is long gone, so I have to rely upon you all to help me. Thanks again Kiko.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
