That’s a neat angle! It does have spots. That might help explain why the carving looks so un-Chinese despite the tradition of dancing with/in...
No markings at all on this one. It’s been rode hard and put away improperly. About 2’x3’. Looks similar to Inuit stone or wood cuts. Not sure how...
Catches the sun nicely. [ATTACH]
Monkey man bear. This one is proving harder than I realized. I figured someone here would make some sense of it. Thanks
Yeh that two person thing didn’t work for me for NWC either but there’s enough I don’t know that I was still holding out hope. Thanks
Very fair point. I’m paranoid myself, I just assume others aren’t to my level. Personally for me before it even gets to that level I wouldn’t do...
This one is a mystery to me. Is it a Chinese parader with a mythical bear/lion costume? NWC NA or African tribal dancer? None of the above? Not an...
I’m not sure I understand what you mean? I’m not suggesting any type of misleading or hiding of anything. You just don’t always have to describe...

I only got to see the side of the basket before I bought it. I wasn’t sure it wasn’t African or something. Seeing the bottom I’m more inclined to...
The presentation says home goods but the mask doesn’t to me. Particularly the weight, there would be zero incentive to make it that heavy for a...
ABP? Anyone know the pattern or maker? Unsigned. I’m not good with this type of glass. Came unexpectedly in a lot. Either a few pieces weren’t...
First glance I’d probably think a little later. The faces aren’t great but they are at least all unique which is a good thing. The scenes are so...
That would be really nice. Thanks
AJ is spot on. There were periods when porcelain paste with a bluish hue was more prevalent. I don’t know them off the top of my head and they are...
Purchased a few totem poles. I’m torn on this one. I feel like it could go either way. NA or not NA. Hopefully I’ll get some guidance here. It’s...
Separate names with a comma.
