<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3363702, member: 78244&quot;]This one just arrived, so here is a quick pic between classes. It is a Zhi Bai Wu Zhu, cast during the Three Kingdoms period. It has highly-attractive patina with some bluish hues. All for $15 delivered. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]891948[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]891949[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This one is very crusty, but the characters are still clear and the patina offers a nice color contrast. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]891950[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>While not crusty, the patina is absolutely glorious on this high-grade Wu Zhu.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]891952[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Nice crusty Qi knife (with a tiny bit of crust added by me to cover up breaks).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]891953[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Very pretty patina on this high-grade hollow-handle spade.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]891954[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The patina on this very rare spade contains the outline of another spade buried with it on the reverse, sugessting authenticity.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]891955[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a scarce transition-type spade with a rather thick patina, but still retaining clear characters.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]891956[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse of this hollow-handle has some very pretty blues in its patina. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]891957[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>And lastly, I fell in love with this extremely crusty Dang Jin spade when I first saw it in the sale of Q.

The majority of this type does not have nice encrustation like this example for some reason, so I place extra value on those which do.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]891958[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
