Title: Another bowl I need help identifying
Post by: pooldesigner on Jan 22, 2015, 23:41:08
Greenish in color. Floral decorations. The mark on the bottom has worn out and only a little red remains. The glazing inside has some wear.

Probably also republican; some colors may have been added later.

Thank you again Peter. Was it common practice to add more colors later? I'm only asking because you mentioned this regarding three items that I have posted.

Mostly with lower quality items, plain items with little or no decoration, or where the on-glaze decoration was abraded severely.
This was done in the hope to make the 'perceived' value higher.
