    Wonder if someone can help with the artist?
    Thanks

    They look mass produced, so I'm not sure an 'artist' is involved. They're quite nice, but look like they're sold in decorator shops.

    IMG_6049.JPG IMG_6050.JPG IMG_6051.JPG I don't know, I can't tell with the glass on the way if mass produced or not. Look like hand carved to me, which does not mean they were not made in larger quantities. And even so, that not necessarily mean that they were not done by a single artist.
    I'd think the central caligraphy and the seal mark have something to do with the artist.

    A single one sold on Ebay for $19.99. They only show one side so you can't tell if there's script on it.

    I took everything apart. They are all soapstone. Pretty sure that they are hollow so I assume the lids are removable. However I can't lift neither one. I am not trying to force them as they are easy to scratch and I already broke one handle. I hope they did not glue the covers.
