    Don't know if these are Chinese. The one I've seen are usually the small flared bowl for wine.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    My two bits: I don't know of any reliable way to tell where they came from if unmarked. Pakistan, Mexico, and other countries have onyx/marble/jade-like mineral mining and finishing industries and the stuff comes in many different colors. The suppliers fashion it into anything they think will sell-chess sets, animals, bookends, vases, ashtrays....

    Thanks for the reply. Most of the Chinese pieces are unmarked. They are usually the one that do eggshell jade but who knows where those were made.
