<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bercrystal, post: 2888672, member: 88&quot;]The bottoms of porcelain &amp; pottery items can tell a lot about the piece even with no visible marks. The color of the unglazed portion, if the bottom is glazed or unglazed, &amp; the construction of the bottom are just a few examples that can be determined by someone who knows how to read the clues. Also, most experts will tell you the last thing you should look at when evaluating an item is the marks. Marks can be faked &amp; there are many instances where a fake mark has fooled the experts leading to the item being added to a museum&#039;s collection only later to be found to be a fake. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=16942]@Shazzie04[/USER] - Welcome to the forum!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
