    Was wondering if anyone might know something about this paperweight. Seems like the bird and flowers are hand painted. Measures 1 3/4" in diameter and is 1 1/4" tall.

    Hi Josh - it's got a real Chinese feel to me. If you google "chinese paperweight with bird" you'll see a number of similar weights.

    Just for clarity: that's "Old" Chinese weights, not modern.

    Thanks bear, I found when researching this it appears to be 1920's-1940's era.
