Chinese/Japanese etched brass and copper travelling Samovar

Category
Metalware
Condition
Good
Description

It is 17" tall and 8" wide. Half of it holds water/tea and the other half holds coal/embers to keep it warm. There is a small door at the bottom of the coal side for cleanout. Inside the coal side are tubes where liquid would flow to warm the tea. The bottom of the pot is very worn and if there are makers marks, I can't tell them apart from scratches. It is beautifully etched all around in an Asian motif. It looks to have been crudely repaired at the spout long ago. It was black but i polished it a few years ago. Please any help would be appreciated by my family. Thank you.

Antique Chinese Ink Box

Category
China
Description

This is an antique copper/silver plate ink box with carving. Ink sticks were kept inside and Inside the lid is an ink stone for abrading the ink sticks to make your own ink. The ink stone is cracked.
It measures approximately 4 1/4 inches wide x 3" x 1 1/2 inches (outer dimension) deep.
The carving depicts cherry blossoms (at least I assume they're cherry), branches of the tree, and some Chinese characters. There are ink stains on the box. There is an artist's stamp on top. If anyone knows what the characters mean, please let me know!

Antique Chinese Chops

Category
General Antiques and Collectibles
Condition
Excellent
Description

These are antique Chinese ink chops which my father brought back from China circa 1980. They are made from different types of stone.
The largest is a nested set with a total of 4 chops. The meanings of the symbols are: Largest- "Long Life"; Second Largest- "Double Happiness" (often used when people get married); Second Smallest- a flying pigeon (symbolizes peace); Smallest... I can't tell what it is! You will see from the photos that the second to smallest has a chip in the upward corner.
The second piece is an old man carrying something (anyone know what?) on his shoulder. The chop means "12 happy children".
The last is a lion and the chop means "Empire" or "Emperor".
I was told this information by my father and I am not able to read them myself.
