<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chinoiserie, post: 13100706, member: 79460&quot;]Wow. I wasn&#039;t expecting such an in depth analysis. Thanks for all the information.

It may well have been a different colour originally. Aside the restoration, I was starting to think that there was something else very wrong with it, such as it being a modern repro because I was struggling to find anything similar. I think I found one piece with slight similarities.</p><p><br /></p><p>The wording on the base has likely lost sharpness due to the restoration. I will try to take a better image but our friend, the sun has just vanished over the horizon and natural light is fading fast.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whoever smashed it must have felt really ill afterwards. I&#039;m just glad to own it, even in its current condition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
