<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Walter901, post: 376333, member: 7373&quot;]I think I found it... but is it real? I put them side by side. [ATTACH=full]129704[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>1497. Mark: <i>Qianlong Nian Zhi</i> - &quot;Qianlong (1736-1795) Period Make&quot;. Extremely fragile Jingdezhen eggshell ware from around 1990. Outlines of the decoration are stamped and manually filled in with colored enamels. Usually young women was doing this kind of work. Each bowl did not take many seconds to decorate. Price after negotiations directly at the night market in Jingdezhen was about 5 yuan each, (c:a US $ 0.50). The drawback was that they were nigh impossible to transport due to their fragility. Being the thickness of lamp bulb glass the temptation was irresistible to stack them 20 at a time in oblong boxes intended for vases, upon which they arrived as that much porcelain confetti. Only way, was to give them one box each which of course added to the cost. (JEN 1991)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
