美國民間網上淘寶之4
嘉慶禦覽之寶-清代外銷瓷彩罐
幾年前，在Craiglist上淘到.
網上查不出類似的東西，肯定不是嘉慶的東西。美國人鑒定(10 years ago)說是民國以前的東西，做工比較粗燥一些。
This is what it says:
PAIR OF CHINESE EXPORT PORCELAIN LIDDED JARS
THESE LARGE LIDDED JARS ARE BEAUTIFULLY RENDERED, AND DEFINITELY COMMAND ATTENTION.
DUE TO A CONSOLIDATION OF TWO HOMES, WE ARE SELECTING ITEMS THAT UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO LIMITED SPACE, HAVE TO GO.
DIMENSIONS: APPROXIMATELY 14.5"T WITH LID. THE BASE MEASURES 6" IN DIAMETER. THE LIDS MEASURE 4.5" IN DIAMETER. EACH JAR HAS A WOOD STAND
CONDITION: VERY GOOD. FREE OF CHIPS, CRACKS, OR RESTORATION.
I PURCHASED THE PAIR AT AN ESTATE SALE IN ORTEGA.
THESE WONDERFUL PIECES WOULD DEFINITELY MAKE A STATEMENT!
APPRAISER JEFFERY MOTSINGER COMMENTS;
THEY ARE OF A GOOD SIZE, GREAT DECORATIONS, AND ARE IN FINE CONDITION. I BELIEVE THE JARS ARE 19TH CENTURY WHICH WAS BEFORE THE MIN GUO PERIOD.
IF THE PAIR CAME UP FOR AUCTION AT A BETTER AUCTION HOUSE I WOULD EXPECT A GAVEL PRICE OF AROUND $800.00.
IN A DEALER?S SHOWROOM, THE PAIR COULD BE PRICED UP AROUND $1600.00.
