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.
This is a bracelet or arm band of sorts that i have been hanging onto for years now. It is made up of individual iron (or some other heavy metal) bars with the word POWER pressed into it. The leather is worn but in good condition. I have no idea when its from or what it is for but i would love to know ifanybody knows what this is.
