VViews,
Perhaps I expressed myself poorly; I started the thread to discuss the issue of what would be implied for provenancing if the scratches in the paint were sgraffito - as I do think some are.
I am quite sure that it was Pelling who mentioned sgraffito quite a while ago, but I couldn't find it on his blog or on the old mailing list, and since you cannot see it in his book, then perhaps the only way to move from memory and guesswork to facts is to ask Pelling, who may be irascible but his memory is excellent and whether he did or didn't, he'll tell the truth as best he can.
An interesting example of sancai in the McClung Museum.
