<p>[QUOTE=&quot;15Stiftgasse, post: 4350237, member: 12382&quot;]During my ongoing quest to improve my modest collection of Asian ceramics, I recently came across this interesting item quite by chance.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was described as an antique &#039;hamper&#039; - approximately one hundred years old - and supposedly of Asian origin. However, the corner figures appear to lizards, as opposed to to dragons, as one might expect from an Asian piece.</p><p>I&#039;m aware that there are lizards in Asia, I get the impression that the item originates from the African continent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although it&#039;s something I wouldn&#039;t normally touch, I&#039;m almost tempted to buy it, as it quite appeals to me. However,&nbsp; because of my lack of knowledge in such fields, I&#039;m wary of getting stung - which, I must admit, has happened once or twice in the past !!</p><p><br /></p><p>What do the REAL experts reckon ??????!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help will be really appreciated ![ATTACH=full]360810[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]360811[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]360812[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
