<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ann99, post: 1302716, member: 13099&quot;]Thank you all for responding. It is a big help. </p><p><br /></p><p>For the second pot, there is provenance - Michael Bloch, a Danish architect and Royal registrar. He recently passed away, and thus his collection is being sold off. </p><p><br /></p><p>I had an uneasy feeling in my stomach with both, likely from my own lack of knowledge, so I am very happy to get some proper advice. And it is very true, Kiko - I really would have loved to give something unique, that can be cherished. Sometimes it just feels so shallow to give a gift &quot;just because&quot;. But worse is showing up empty-handed. :-(</p><p><br /></p><p>But pottery really is confusing! </p><p>My own &quot;field&quot; is within natural history and taxidermy, so that is a far cry from old Chinese pottery.. So it is good that help is near.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a plan B, a Danish &quot;Jydepotte&quot; that belonged to a conservator in Northern Jutland. I also think it is very charming. I find that both price and provenance is a lot more reasonable with this one, and I know a lot more about the history and functions of a &quot;Jydepotte&quot;, compared to foreign pottery and stoneware. So hopefully this one will do, even if they aren&#039;t exactly &quot;rare&quot;. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/arsjyv8.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for the help![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
