[thanh trinh]

Hello everyone
I've got this ewer. In my point of view, it is a Song Qingbai pottery.
It is thinly potted and lighty one.
What is your opinoin?
Thanks

In my opinion it looks new.  foot looks way off. glaze is weird. I don't know, it doesn't look like an antique qingbai piece.

This is copying a Song dynasty item, but it looks fairly new.

Hello Peterp and Heavenguy
Thanks for your comments.
However, I'm wandering that could the forgers make a fake of ring spurs marks as well as a fingers marks on the base?
And this is a ring spur mark that I get from Christie's
Thanks again for viewing

The ring is from a firing support ring used during the firing. It has nothing to do with age but with firing methods To fake it they just use such a  ring to recreate the traces. The item shows no age signs appropriate to the Song dynasty, and also is not exactly the same shape. The glaze should have a hue of yellow.
Almost all production traces can be reproduced or faked to a degree that even museum experts may have difficulties recognizing them, sometimes. Most fakes are not of such high quality, though, only those copying high price items,

Hi Peterp
Thanks for your analysation.
So, identification of an antique item is really a head-ache work,
