      This is not made of bone. The glare of the light and the purity of the white coloration can assure that. I would guess that it is porcelain (or some other sort of ceramic if not that, though it is probably pircelain) with metal around the edges and a glaze to cover it all.

      Of course, if I am mistaken and these dishes aren't smooth and cold but rather warm and almost wood-like, then you've got yourself some bone objects. But bone was only ever really used way before thay decorated things.

      That red mark in the third picture is a signature.

 

      Sadly, to evaluate your items, I would need a bit more than just pictures. We'll start with an easy one. How much did you pay for it?

Have another item you're curious about?

Collectors often evaluate multiple items from the same collection, estate, or find.
