That's what I mean. It looks too "chunky". I know antique writing slopes - I collected them for years - I even fixed them from time to time. A...
Looks pretty generic. I don't see any indications that there's anything that would help give us more information about it. I question the age of...
A lot of these which I've seen and/or bought, are frequently missing the chopsticks. I have another set with the original sticks, and two more...
The sticks look like they show a lot of wear & unevenness. They don't completely match, even though they're the same length and style.
This is the first set I've ever bought with the original bone chopsticks still intact, which is kinda cool. In all I've got four of these. I used...
The carved-up white stuff is almost certainly bone, from what I can see. Looks like a lovely little piece! "You sah! Stand up straight! Eyes FRONT!"
Silver chopstick-rests would be much smaller. I'd say they're for cutlery, knives, or serving utensils (serving-spoons/ladles etc). Very cute!
I love antique desks because they're made so artistically. Modern desks are just a plank of wood on top of a pair of empty fuel drums.
That is an adorable desk!! What are those two pull-out leaves on the sides for?
Wouldn't be able to tell you without more photos. Looks like a lovely case, though.
I've been into writing cases since I was a kid. At one point I had a collection of over a dozen - these days I've whittled that down to two (I had...
Not sure what else I can add to whatever else has already been mentioned. They are definitely a pair of writing-case inkwells, with threaded caps....
Could be either. A lot of pieces were lost during WWII, what with air-raids and stuff like that.
Originally, it would've been part of a much larger, porcelain dining service, all with the same colour theme (pink & yellow), but they were often...
I only know these exist because I've seen them in museums.
Unfortunately, no. If it was proper Chinese characters I might be able to walk them through a translator for you guys, but not something like this.
I mean, if you don't want it, I'll take it... I have one of my own, but mine's a much cheaper pewter one. I'd love a silver one, but...
I'm so glad to add it to my collection. I can't wait for the two plates to arrive. After that, I'm considering buying a vase / flowerpot. Those...
They're called various things. Writing cases, writing boxes, box-desks, travel-desks, lap-desks, writing compendiums...but yes, they were designed...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Last time I saw one of these, they wanted nearly $1,000 for it. This was much more affordable. It arrived last week....
