Posted By: Kevin Sun, Aug 27, 2017 IP: 69.127.30.145

Dear Members
I would like to learn more of this very attractive censor on the origin, possible dating in style if not indicated by the incised marks and what they mean. I will post close-up photos of the writing in a reply post

H:(including handles) 5"; 12.7 cm

Thank you for looking

Kind regards

Kevin
