<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 9805327, member: 10944&quot;]If I were you I’d write the auction house and ask for a better photo of the receipt and the base/foot rim. They’ll often accommodate if there is enough time. Is it a top tier national and/or international auction house, a high end regional, a ma &amp; pa local? Did they put a date to it? Just curious. It’s a nice thing but doesn’t feel older than 19th to me and quite possibly a decent bit newer. The mouth and face details are a bit lacking I’d think for earlier. The claws are nice.&nbsp; Well made whenever it’s from. I’m far from even remotely trustworthy in the area but just two cents. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also you probably know but “they” are very much faking receipts, stickers, and other provenance on this type of thing. I bought a piece with a fake sticker on it once. The sticker was from I believe a Japanese or Korean antiques gallery. One that was known to informed westerners that collect Chinese porcelains. One that once I did research on I was encouraged that my piece might be authentic. It was not. Just relaying my experience, not speculating your moon flask isn’t right necessarily.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
