Title: Orange read coloured lidded bowl
Post by: Rec on Oct 18, 2018, 21:36:28
What is your opinion on this lidded bowl and thus have the colour a special name? I think the lid doesn't below by the bowl because  the decoration style and the colour is much more refined than the bowl.

Thanks Peter for your quick response.  Is it a mass produced item ?

Depends on what you mean with mass-produced. It was made like any other items, usually in numbers, but all by hand. This is not export.

I have seen a few. Better do not look for so-called rare items that no one else has. Those are often rare because they are fancy new items made to look old.
