<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kentworld, post: 2392375, member: 35&quot;]It does look a bit like egg shell porcelain, but it’s hard to tell from the photo.&nbsp; The following about Chinese egg shell porcelain is copied from gotheborg.com:&nbsp; The production of modern eggshell porcelain started around 1916 during the period of Hongxian (1915-1916). In the planning of his official ware they settled for looking at the Yongzheng period as a model for the decoration after first having considered the Song dynasty. This is the most important reason for the revival of Famille rose enamel painting on porcelain at this time and a reason why the Yongzheng mark also speaks for the 1920&#039;s. During the 1920-30 eggshell ware became an important part of the total production program in Jingdezhen with well over 3300 men occupied by 1928. A serious break in production took place when the Japanese took Jingdezhen in 1937 after a surprise attack on Shanghai in 1932, the most important export harbor city. Eggshell thin porcelain is still made up to this day but most of it is decorated with enamels. Most of the less expensive pieces have their borders added with transfer prints and only the main decoration is hand painted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
