Japanese Maple leaf and Chinese pot

By Ninji, 12 March, 2009
Description

The Japanese Maple Leaf has a gold tint around the edges and on the leaf itself. There is a hole on the side of it which has a gold tint on this as well. On the back there is a Made in Japan inside a symbol which looks like a rosette or emblem, not sure. This is also in a gold tint.

The Chinese pot includes the base and a lid. It looks hand painted in blue ink and has a floral look about it, I believe that the Chinese mark on the bottom to be Jingdezhen Zhi. It is also stamped in blue.

Both items I think might be around the 1950's or later.

History
I found the item when I was clearing out my late parent's cupboard, I had never seen these before and I never saw them buy them. So I assume that they may have been passed down.

Both pieces are fairly modern 20th century items, the pair would sell for under $30.00 at auction.
