[ATTACH=full]822455[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]822456[/ATTACH] See above. I think it also has claw feet (see right foot in catalogue), so the smaller size is in reference to 16.285. I am not sure of the meaning of the note either. I think it is talking specifically about on of the many mints in operation at the time. Probably. The characters for 16.248 are sloppy, on 16.249 the spines of “Feng” (right character) are tall, on 16.250, the spines are short. Minor variations that I would otherwise not pay any attention to.
