    I picked up these miniature metal bowls? At my local thrift. All five are stamped on the bottom but cant read what it says. Was wondering on age and maker? Also what were they used for? They measure 1 inch tall and 3 1/2 inches wide. Thank you for any info

    Those don't appear to be the same characters.

    I googled lens the mark and it came up with a "ying xiang tang" or "yingxiangtang" mark which i then typed that in on google images and similar marks came up on other metal works. So were these incense burners or for tea? I am unsure of age
