Title: bowl, old or new
Post by: Simonne on Mar 19, 2014, 12:40:11
What do you think about this bowl? It's new,  or republic period?

Thank you in advance,
Simonne

Hi Simonne, the colors on early republic porcelain had lighter colors, pastel like colors, your bowl the colors are much to bright, In my opinion I think it is fairly new.

It doesn't look handpainted, am I right, Peter?

Not sure, Shelley, but it sure looks unnatural.
Please note the similarity of the faces, and eyebrows painted in this manner?
The colors are also those of a later time. Relatively new, as you all suspected.
