utopis Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Simply awesome! I didn't know you had such a large collection of precious crowns. Interestingly the Meiji pieces, although the oldest, seem to be made in the best quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanX Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Unfortunately not all these pieces are currently in my collection But this Meiji order is definitely a highlight here! Actually I think this is one of the very first orders of the crown. Even piece from Metropolitan museum has characteristics of later pieces http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/58628-orders-of-the-precious-crown-from-the-collection-of-metropolitan-museum/page-2?hl=+precious +crown And we know that it is in the Museum collection since 1904 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogi Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Meiji looks like a real piece almost custom with very fine detials, everything else looks like "factory" produced :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
