Posted By: Patrick Norton Fri, Jan 02, 2009 Found something interesting. 2007-01-28 09:02 A ship-load of ancient Chinese ceramics, mostly blue and white dishes and cups, are believed to be European market-oriented tea wares from Jingdezhen, the famous porcelain capital in China. It is estimated that a sum in excess of two million euros (about 2.6 million US dollars) will be realized from the sale of the Chinese ceramics dating from about 1725 - all of which have for centuries lain lost and forgotten in the waters of the South China Sea. Among the tens of thousands of pieces to be offered are vast quantities of all manner of wares - everything from fine blue and white tea services, to porcelain boxes and "beer mugs," to delightful polychrome figures. with 130,000 pieces of China's Qing Dynasty junk retrieved form the site. This extensive hoard will be offered in some 1,500 lots, with estimates ranging from 100 to 10,000 euros. Proceeds from the sale is said to go to the Vietnamese government. |

Posted By: Cal Fri, Jan 02, 2009 Don't forget Bing & Grondahl. German jugs of and mugs of the 1920s-1930s also had white-metal or pewter fittings. Such metal work with some silver content (not pewter) can be tarnished by exposure to mild chemical, such as put in plastic bag with hard-boiled egg in refrigerator for week. |

Posted By: Cal Sat, Jan 03, 2009 The pattern does incorporate motif vaguely 'blue onion' shape, but is not done as Meissen and close imitators made in 19th and early 20th centuries. |
