They shouldn’t be the final word. While the motif is wrong to me, my wife(Chinese) says that back then some did look similar like that. So there is that. But still the clay doesn’t appear as I would think pure white Ming clay to be. Nor do I see any red iron ore coloring seeping out from under the glaze for its supposed age. The best we can do is opine on the photos, good bad or ugly it’s all we can do, so take it at that with a grain of salt. We can’t draw the conclusion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line, you have it in your hands and feel and see it better than we can so if you feel good about it, it holds all the value you give to it, and can display well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
