I'm inclined to agree with all you said. The owner already admitted he didn't know what they are. He does think they are "old" - but that's not...
That's plausible...
I like Asian arts, but don't know enough about them. This pair of ceramic figures is another consignment, but I don't know enough specifics about...
Would this be the "mistletoe" design?
Thank you, thank you, thank you, ad infinitum! I LOVE to learn, and there is a great wealth of knowledge being shared here. God bless you, every one!
YAY! Now, one last question - How many "Best Answers" can I award? :)

Ah - When I breezed through a bunch of the responses earlier, I didn't catch your meaning when you wrote "brush wash" - NOW I get it - THANX!
That's surely a creative and interesting suggestion; but there doesn't seems to be very much of a lip to support such a heavy piece...
Thanx for all the great input! I know sometimes it's hard to make positive ID from pictures, but every little bit helps. What I am still...
This is another mystery piece from a regular consignor. All he could offer was that it is Chinese. I see no identifying markings of any kind on...
I showed these pix to a lady knowledgeable in Native American baskets (mostly SW), and she said no, probably African. The bowl shaped basket is...
