<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 10410421, member: 10944"]Found this little Chinese box at a yard sale the other day. Probably too good to be true. One mark does indicate silver. I’d bet they currently mass manufacture very similar items out of an alpaca type metal and call them silver. The stones used look a little nicer than what might be used now and it has a nice overall look. Part of me holds out a little hope. The clouds on the top look great, the smile on the face not as much. That blue/green under the missing stones is probably never a good sign though. Any opinions? Ultra modern silver wannabe or vintage and possibly real silver? Bought at a can’t lose price at least.
