    A colleague is researching this piece and wondered if anyone had an idea of its age? The design is quite detailed -- I've posted a couple of close up pictures. It is 7-3/4 inches in diameter and weighs 12.6 ounces. Thanks for any help! ... Dave

    I'd say Cantonese, and some time in the last 50 years.

    What makes you say last 50 years, afantiques? The detail makes me think older. Does that make a difference at all?

    There has probably been more produced in the last 50 years than in the last thousand, by many times over. Statistically, it is likely to be from the majority population.

    And also that's just the feeling I get from it.

    I agree with AF. Most of what we see is from the 20th c. and some is very nice. Some not. I seem to think that the era it comes from might be discernible from the colour palette used.

    Hi,
    I have to agree. There are several spots where the metal circles do not meet into a circle. On an older piece they were usually more detailed and better made.
