<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RachelW, post: 2399728, member: 15376&quot;]<p style="text-align: center">Possibly my favorite find of the day, an older gentleman had a large assortment of antique pottery and glass and this was among them. I spent 10 or 15 minutes with him and he told me about where and how different pieces were made. This he didn&#039;t know much about, he said it was Chinese or Japanese and that it was very old. I&#039;d like to think he&#039;s right but I&#039;m wary that its not an import piece. </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">I&#039;m leaning towards Chinese origin, it seems to be the same man in both paintings. On either side there is what looks to be a human figure, painted sparingly. There are indents all the way around the top to match the paint. Unmarked. Approx. 13 cm tall, 7 cm wide, and 6/6.5 cm across.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Question regarding its age: Isn&#039;t guilding like what is on the men pictured a more modern technique or have the Chinese been using this for ages?</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Thank you!</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]263144[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]263140[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]263141[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]263142[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]263143[/ATTACH] </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
