<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 984400, member: 8267&quot;]I got these three boxes at a recent auction. I have found similar examples attributed to Persia during the 19th century Qajar period, as well as the warning that &quot;the market is flooded by reproductions of the Islamic and Indo-Persian antiques, which for inexperienced collectors look the same as the authentic objects&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I am wondering if anyone here might be familiar with such work, to say if these might be recent repros or actual antiques.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two have interior marks, which I doubt are signatures. Perhaps they were used to match lid with base in the workshop where more than one of the same shape was being made.&nbsp; The ovoid one is marked Iran-Persia inside.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any insights welcome.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]205568[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205569[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205570[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205571[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205572[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205574[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205575[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205576[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205577[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]205578[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
