This is a beautiful shot. The composition and focus are right on. How did you plan a blue power ranger in the background to match that vase? :)
I agree with Linda - a beautiful shot! I like the composition and focus. /Viktoria
Me too, me too. I agree with Viktoria and Linda.
Great shot, when do you post the translation????
Great depth and colors! Nice composition!
Great depth and colors! Nice composition!
Great find! Love the crazing on the front item. Are you certain that is a vase? Could it possibly be a decanter of some sort? For, say, o-sake. Oops. No. That is Japanese.
Are you certain this is a Chinese product? A tip could be if it stated: Made in China on the bottom of the item. :D
These reminds me of My mum's vase pot that mistakenly fell off from my hand during cleanup...she was so upset with me because it was a gift from her best friend but I said sorry and it was over....I need to get one for her soon....
Thanks for the reminder! Nice composition:)
No doubt these are words of peace, joy, good luck; maybe earth, wind, and fire??? Blue ceramics are always so cheerful, and you caught a couple of good representatives in this shot. I never thought to bring my camera when going to a yard sale. What missed opportunities!

Where's the Antiques Roadshow crew when you need them?! Lovely shot; the blues are really pretty.
Hi!
Beautiful colors and shapes! Have a great day!!
Sherrie
