[QUOTE="bosko69, post: 5228324, member: 16283"]Love their wacky exuberance and execution.Authentication would probably have to be determined by an acknowledged expert,possibly using scientific methods. The plexiglass mount & glue or silicone look touristy,but who knows ? The level of skill & detail modern Chinese craftsmen employ reproducing historical pieces can vary from the ridiculous to perfection. Historical forgeries abound in China and are an art form unto themselves. If cheap,I'd buy them, I like the composition & execution that much.If expensive and much of their value hinges on their antiquity-I'd get a consultation.[/QUOTE]
