[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1862363, member: 2844"]I agree, Peranakan, also known by the older term Straits Chinese. These were made in Coastal China (Canton etc) for export to Peranakan communities in Southeast Asia, notably Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, where the trade routes and the Asian Straits were. These are collectible among Peranakan, but many are better quality than this one. The character in iron red in the photo below symbolizes marriage. It is sideways in the pic ;) [IMG]https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/img_7402-jpg.243522/[/IMG] The one on ebay was never supposed to have a lid.
