When I type Zhang Ming Qi hand warmer on google it comes up with a Sotheby's auction for a ming artisan named Zhang Mingqi, it couldn't possibly be the same person right? It looks like it has some age, but I wouldn't think ming. Maybe its more recent with a counterfeit mark, or maybe it's just another artist with the same name? |
