Featured chinese monkey? lid

something else i picked up today and couldn't resist for a fiver

its it wonderful condition, but think it might have a bit missing.....

i'm guessing 19thc canton but not sure

monkey ?

 

More likely a lion I think. Would be from quite a big vase.

 

thanks john, the last lid i found sold for over £100, if someone has a damaged or missing one they will spend, especially if they have a pair to complete

 

You got that right, buddy. Bump into a table, expensive vase begins to topple, frantically grab the vase, the lid flies off and hits the tile floor

 

A monkey imo. I've seen them before.

 

yeah i see monkey as well by his curly tail, and how skinny he is

i think i've seen them as well on canton pieces, do you agree Aj?

 

Yes. He is very cute, and the lid is decorative as is.

 

Just adorable.

 

Excellent find Charlie, and yes-I have constant Ebay alerts for bit n' bobs I'm on the hunt for,missing lids included.

 

Maybe it would fit my ink well. We could make a beautiful marriage.

 

might be a bit too much of a mixing of styles, but might have something that will fit, whats the diameter ?

oh and about the marriage proposal........
as flattered as i am, my heart belongs to a higher power






to lighten the mood, i've got a joke for you

How did tommy cooper unfortunately pass...........

 

Ooh external is about 60mm and internal 45mm at a guess. I'll get an exact measure when I get home. External could overlap a little.

You have a nun fetish? I am quite broad minded but that's a bit much for me.

Erm 'Just like that'?

 

you got it

jokes aside, i can still remember when he died live on t.v, my nan was like o get up you silly fool, watched the clip again recently, terrifying

 

might work, more of a stopper though

 

Thanks for your efforts but I think I'll pass on that one. Nothing with gold gilt and dainty little flowers?

 

i'll ave a looky

 

Thanks. Outside edge is 40mm and inside dimension is 24mm. Big ask really. Plain white would do.

This is my best shot but neither sit correctly. Not really in keeping with original pattern.

 

forgot about this one, but its too large (damn it )

marvelous though, would love to have seen the vase, think it could be from a meissen or such

i seem to be doing anything i can today to avoid ebay listing like i'm supposed to be doing, even the dogs like, right let me sleep now and do some bloody work will ya

 

Thanks for your efforts. Still don't think if fits in style. Slid the photo to the bottom of my phone screen and stuck it on top of the ink well. I've just listed it without. I could just fill it with milliput

You get on with your listing. I know you love it.

 

i aint doing jack today. how've u got on with the new ebay changes, if you don't have a tracking number now, you don't get yer dough for about 20 days or something stupid

so everythings gotta be sent 48 hr tracked (which is a blindingly good service though to be honest) up to £150 covered, and not any more expensive than 2nd class
