<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kentworld, post: 11757074, member: 35&quot;]In no way did I mean to disparage this lovely vase.&nbsp; It is impressive.&nbsp; However, on porcelain, you can kind of tell a cheaper gilding by it&#039;s &quot;thin&quot; appearance and very shiny colour.&nbsp; Better quality gilding shows &quot;depth&quot; and is shiny enough, but not mirror-like usually.&nbsp; Matte gilding can look &quot;matte&quot; or burnished, but I&#039;m not sure in what sense Moser means.&nbsp; Here&#039;s an example I googled: <img src="https://img.carters.com.au/300x300/00b783ceb2be92947a44dbeaa21a6ffb.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
