Dear Benjamen,
Unfortunately I believe your bowl is a modern copy. The way the crackle is in the bowl, the to bright colours I see and the colour of the clay and the way the stand is made made me believe we are not talking an original Song bowl here. It is still possible to buy original Song bowls but year after year chances increase people buying a modern copy. You see them everywhere.
Decorative value though is there; you can alway's sell these for $ 50 or so because they are well done and handmade.

Great ! Thanks.
Hi Benjamen,
The bottom picture is still not sharp. Glaze pictures are looking good. I really need to see all aspects of the bowl; good quality copy's are around and I do want to give the best advice.

Hi Simon. Thanks for your reply. I will organise some higher resolution shots promptly.
Kind regards
