Chinese flowering tree

By juniebjones, 24 April, 2010
Description

I was unable to get a clear picture of the inscription on the bottom. I have a video clip of it that I was unable to upload. It is 6.56 MB, approx 30 secs long. The base appears ceramic and is filled with small white stones. The flowers and leaves appear to be some sort of glass and are "tied" on with threading. This was found among the personal belongings of a Korean woman. It has 4 (Chinese?) characters on the bottom, and underneath that, either 2 more characters or the number 22. These are etched into the white bottom and I cannot capture the image, it all just looks white.
