Hello

piece on ebay is not visible and is many similar to
Taza - I have see in Bologna Show pieces is the same
of the piece on Ebay, and the same pieces I have here,
the zone where is not brown color is many similar to
this piece. Is strange the surface of the piece on
ebay, my glorieta mountain buy from Schoner is total
different to this:
