Chinese was the first thing I thought. More from the colour scheme than anything. Seems to be very clean and new. Would like to get a hold of it and take a look. What is the most obvious thing on Chinese pieces to look for ? From the other side of the window I saw the handle, it looks like it was put on in the same way as pottery handles, just pressed on. If I get over there I will take a look and photograph it for reference. thanks Lustrousstone.
