Hi! I'm a collector, trade at antique and vintage fairs, sell on Ebay and used to professionally resptore carved antiques. My curent collecting passions are Georgian glass, mid-century Scandinavian glass and Conder tokens. My space gun collection once numbered 118 toys! I spent many years as a professional miniature carver. My restoration work started when a dealer, knowing that I worked small, asked me to restore an Okimono. I restored carved antiques - mainly japanese and Chines - for many years. A couple of my own carvings illustrated.
Welcome to the forum, Manthorp. I really love your miniatures, beautifully carved and just as much charm and sense of humour as many Japanese Okimono and Netsuke.
