    Hi all! So, wow, I’ve got a ton of items to show y’all. But wanted to start off with the possible Copper/gold swirl murano? Vase Post, and this interesting blue and white, apparently antique porcelain egg. It appears to be handpainted, it’s crackle glazed, but I don’t see any signatures. I’m wondering if A. It is indeed an antique? And B. Is it Chinese? Dutch? I have no earthly idea, but thought it was the bees knees, so plunked down the $3.99 it was on sale for at a local thrift shop.

    anyone encounter an egg like this before? What are your thoughts on it? It is heavy, and measures about 9” x 6.5”. 8167DFBB-7FEE-40F5-81DC-181F04AC81AA.jpeg 485CE230-BA63-46AE-80CF-A46DF320AC86.jpeg 42B678DF-FFE8-4207-90FC-8EF41A5C94EC.jpeg

    That heavy, overall crazing typically means a recent Chinese decorative import.

    I don't know much about porcelain, but what I've learned here is a big opening on the bottom usually means modern.

    The type of thing one would find at Home Goods.
