My best friend passed away and left everything to me. This was under the satin in a hidden jewelry box.
I know her parents were military and traveled throughout the far east in the 1940's. Her mother frequented all the antique stores.
She liked to collect objects from the religions of different areas. I have some ivory, copper, brass, silk. But havent a clue as to the history of this little guy
I know these are Japanese Satsuma. Two are vases, one is a censer. My great-grandfather bought these in HongKong in the late 1800s and brought them to England. They are now in Canada.
Wondering approx. what they are worth. And if anyone knows the history of them. Has anyone seen any other items with this or similar paintings?
