Message Hi Janice, Your porcelain piece looks like a vase to me. It has the following features consistent with ru wares the sky blue color the glaze covering the whole vase including the base the crackled appearance the sesame seed on the base the simple design the glaze is not as good, though this may be due to poor photograpy. The two characters in the base read 'Fenghua' Inscriptions in the base of ru ware are well described. This is not the same as the poem associated with the Emperor Qianlong. These inscriptions refers to different places in the Imperial Palace and parks around the Palace. Fenghua refers to Fenghua Hall which is the residence of the favourite concubine of Emperor Gaozong. For more information on such inscriptions refer to an article by Regina Krahl at this site http://www.sothebys.com/app/live/lot/LotDetail.jsp?lot_id=159433932 To see pictures of similar inscriptions go to these sites http://photo.blog.sina.com.cn/blogpic/442b213d0100a0dy/442b213dt52a96e7e05f6 http://photo.blog.sina.com.cn/blogpic/442b213d0100a0dy/442b213dt5299ae136aec Is this 'ru ware' authentic. I think so. However, I would like to have the opinion of other members. Good luck Post a Response |
