Antique, moorish or Moroccan gossip bench or Tete a Tete with matching side table. Hand carved. Perfect shape. Inlaid with either Mother of Pearl or Bone .... Needing appraisal plz
I found this in my attic. I remember it being in my grandmother house, my dad tells me sho brought it from Germany. Thats about all I know, that and the fact there is no marking as far as I can see.
SMALL RED PORCELAIN ORIENTAL BOX WITH METAL DRAGON & PHOENIX SYMBOLS ON LID, ROUGH ORIENTAL DRAWING PAINTED ON THE INSIDE BOTTOM AND HALLMARK ON THE OUTSIDE BOTTOM
I don’t know much about this item except it’s of Asian origin and it was bought at an Estate Sale.
METAL DRAGON & PHOENIX CONNECTED TOGETHER ON TOP OF THE PORCELAIN, POTTERY OR CERAMIC LID AND PAINTED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE INSIDE IS WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE AN ORIENTAL PERSON STANDING IN THE SNOW. THERE ARE BIRDS FLYING NEAR THE MOUNTAINS IN THE BACKGROUND. I THINK ANOTHER CHARACTER PAINTED IN THE FOREGROUND IS A DOG, MAYBE? OTHER CHARACTERS OR SYMBOLS ARE A MYSTERY TO ME AS IS WHAT THIS WAS USED FOR AND HOW OLD COULD IT BE?
POSSIBLY THE HALLMARK ON THE BOTTOM WILL BE RECOGNIZABLE TO SOMEONE.
I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY KIND OF HELP IDENTIFYING THIS WONDERFUL ORIENTAL ITEM.
I HOPE I SHOWED ENOUGH IN MY PICTURES BUT IF MORE PICTURES ARE REQUESTED I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH TAKING MORE.
