I got this spoon while in China recently. It's 8.5 inches long, including the 2" bowl...shaft seems slightly offset from center of bowl... Virtually certain it's made of silver. But mainly what I need to know is what the stamped Chinese characters mean on the back. I have done some research and asked Chinese friends to no avail. Value would be nice, but mainly trying to find out anything I can about it ie. can the characters be matched to a maker or time period? Thanks!
this painting was given to me by my step-dads mother. she got it from her mother who said her friend "the artist" gave it to her. I have searched on line looking for this painting I have found it once but can't remember where. now I can't seem to find it again can anyone help.
