<p>[QUOTE="Lark, post: 4387940, member: 13605"]I have 3 netsukes that I am pretty sure are ivory therefore I will be keeping them but would like to pass on info about them to my daughter. I think we may use them as closures to a homemade purse/bag. There are some marks on the bottom that look like writing which could be signatures or lucky sayings. Any help on age or any other info on an of these is helpful. The other is a resin or possible bone figurine. it has a small chip on the little house in his hand. It chipped very white. I think he is very well carved so possible bone. I am assuming Chinese.3.25 " It is heavy for size and cold to the touch. Anything else I should look for to determine bone or resin? Thank you.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]369053[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369054[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369055[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369056[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369062[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369063[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369064[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369065[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369067[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]369070[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
