i bought this on ebay as a 'RARE Japanese old IMARI blue-and-white porcelain tea bowl of fine tone' and it says that it was made between 1850 and 1899, but the glossy surface without a single little scratch says to me that it's brand new. i bought two pieces from the same seller - same description and they both appear brand new to me. what do you think?
Not in my wheelhouse sorry but looks cool
i've never seen an older piece which completely lacks scratches before. have you?
I am always wary of antique items without wear, but anything is possible. if this was important enough, it could have been kept in a box, and its not like they had big old cast iron sinks or dishwashers. I would take a look at all the items the seller has sold. Maybe not as old as told.
i think i made a mistake on this piece. what do you think apostata?
it is not a mistake, i am not skilled enough in blue and white , but i think this is not edo and not meiji and not even taisho, i think its the wrong kind of japanese blue, it think this contemporain
