<p>[QUOTE=&quot;antidiem, post: 2924266, member: 30&quot;]Well, I put some thought into why it looks inferior and the rubbing wasn&#039;t the reason, it was the quality of the painting of the crane. The perky little bird with the banded wings is classic, easy to paint. The sparrow and seashell are well done, the foliage is well done too. The butterfly and the little yellow flowers - not so much so. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, I didn&#039;t base my thoughts on the rub wear. However, I do find the rub wear to be indicative of a not very high quality job done because I think it&#039;s from being under glazed. Does the paint all sit on top of the clear glaze? --I doubt that would be typical to a high quality porcelain vase. </p><p><br /></p><p>And as pointed out by Norman, the jewel dots aren&#039;t great. How does the size of yours compare to other Minton vases?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
