<p>[QUOTE="Molley Ourada, post: 1853677, member: 14495"]Hello! I bought this about 10 years ago at a Goodwill in Idaho for $10. I have handled a lot of Ivory in the past so I am pretty sure it is Ivory. It has cross hatching on the little removable door but the rest of the piece is quite textured and hard to show the hatching. It also has quite a bit of weight. It stands about 6" tall and is glued to the wooden base (maybe glued by previous owner?) It has a small signature on the removable door. I was wondering if anyone could identify the maker or date? I think it is Japanese but it might be Chinese. It's so delicately carved and made I wonder if it is something special <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Thank you so much for your time in advance!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]243098[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]243099[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]243100[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]243095[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]243096[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]243097[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
