I'm not entirely sure of the details. It feels like the sparrows, flowers, and the characters and seal on the back are somehow painted or printed. The characters on the back also seem a bit off. This item is being sold with visible scratches and stains. If you are interested, please carefully review the product page and images and be sure you are satisfied before purchasing. I will wrap the item in bubble wrap and use newspaper as cushioning, then ship it in a cardboard box via Yu-Yu Mercari or Raku-Raku Mercari delivery. (Items shipped via Yu-Yu Mercari on weekends and holidays will be changed to Raku-Raku Mercari delivery. Thank you for your understanding.) I would appreciate it if you could take the time to read my profile before considering a purchase. I am not accepting price negotiations. Thank you for your interest. Thank you for reading to the end. #Daisei Qianlong Era? #China #Ceramics
