<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaymee, post: 243680, member: 4831&quot;]Hello everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>I found this bowl in my garden several years ago (I live in France) and have used it as a planter pot ever since. Yesterday I was looking at Chinese porcelain online and saw some similar bowls to mine in the Yuan/Song Dynasty.</p><p>The bowl is 17 cm high and 33 across the top. The lip rim folds inward, there are rust spots and drips baked into the interior of the pot. It has some cracks and the bottom of the foot &quot;plate&quot; is missing. The bowl is glazed down to the foot rim, which is not glazed.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you guys think? Should I toss it back out into the garden, or does it deserve a home inside. I have tried to capture the rust spots (one of them at least), folded over rim, and the drips in the porcelain inside the bowl. Plus the cracks and missing bottom.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love antiques and like to take care of them, but I also think my geraniums look great in this pot, so if it&#039;s not worth protecting, I will enjoy it in the garden.</p><p><br /></p><p>Updated post to embed photos!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]74667[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]74668[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]74669[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]74670[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]74671[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]74672[/ATTACH] </p><p>regards</p><p>Jaymee[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
