    Welcome nidio. I am not sure what you mean, it is real Chinese, not a Western fake.
    They are still making and using these, but yours has age. My guess is ca 1900-1910, but let's wait for the others.

    Fellow members @Couch Potato Wannabe or @JayBee can probably read the mark. Most marks don't really offer information about the date though.

    What size is it? How much are they asking?

    @Any Jewelry
    Is it an incense burner?
    Think he wants to buy it rather quickly.

    nidio, I forgot to say, this type is called a 'pagoda censer'. The smoke from the incense wafts out of the little doors and windows.

    Ok, next installment (keep forgetting, one of those days): The decoration on the bowl is in Archaic style, stylized dragons. The windows on the lower floor of the pagoda are shaped like coins, for good fortune.

    I can't look in your wallet, so I can't tell you whether to buy, and never would anyway.
    I can only say that I would buy it for 43€.;)

    43E = about $50 America.


    Are you buying it because you like it or want to resell it?

    You didn't answer the question.
    Are you buying it to keep it for yourself?
    Are you buying it to resell and make money?

    Well it is OK I guess, I don't think the Chinese would use one like that so guessing it would be made for export.
    Pricewise, well that's a difficult call - all relative to your income I suppose. I would not pay that much for it but keep in mind it is not something I covet, so price is immaterial in my case.
