[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 385798, member: 84"]I found this today at a local thrift store - it is big & beautiful (especially for the price; $20!). The bottom only has Chinese characters in a stamp - didn't they make a law in the 1920s or 1930s or something where all Chinese & Japanese imports had to have Made in China or Japan in english? If so is this a old (mid century wise!) piece - or if they can copy Dior & such, did they just mar it this way to try to make it look old? It does have a circular design on the inside that came from the way it was made on the potter's wheel (I think); most newer ones have smooth interiors, right? But, I have to admit that that foo dog on top of the lid...with the eye lashes or something...does not make me think old or royalty - I laugh even now looking at it! What a face/look! lol Anyway - thank you for any help.
