This small bottle is rather unique and has had the relief carved into it, I spotted it in an Op shop only due to seeing the exact same pattern of monkeys on a item presented to the UK Antique Roadshow some months ago, and cannot recall if it was ivory or porcelain - how would I tell ? There is a hallmark on the top right hand corner and if it is not clear enough I could copy it by hand, it is definitly Asian but I do not know if the writing is Japanese or Chinese, the bottle is all one piece with a hollow interior Can anyone shed any light on this item for me, any help would be most apprecaited. Thank you. Sue
This is titled "El Horizonte" from the Dali-Goya series. It is plate #53 and gauranteed authentic by the gallery. We got this at auction in 1994 or 1995 and I've had it on my wall eversince. I was always curious as to what it was worth. I know it's worth more than what we got it for...

Item is a childs tricycle with a young boy dressed in red pants with supenders a a white with blue strip tee shirt. Half leg socks and sandals. Toy is mobile by the use of a wind up mechanisim secured between the rear wheels and connected to the rear wheels, I have no way to send pictures
It has been restored and is in very good condition for it's age. I don't know if all of it is original or not though. Perhaps someone with more expertise than myself could shed some light.
On one side is raised engraving with "1878" on top and "SAICNELECIER" under the date and crosses engraved on each side of it. On the other side is raised engraving with "CHIANTEL" on the top and "FONDEUR" under that. The ringer is a separate piece instead of being attached.
I am extremely interested in the value of this item and in the 1786 bell I will be posting later.
