Subject:Boshan Glass Bead Brass Enamel Canister - Characters translation, please?
Posted By: Beadiste Tue, Feb 17, 2015 IP: 206.174.69.67 I bought this because the finial is a rare example of a Boshan millefiori bead. Also because I like the 4 little landscape scenes around the sides - a voyage in brass. |

Subject:Thank you, rat - oddly enough, I wondered if they were Summer Palace scenes
Posted By: beadiste Thu, Feb 19, 2015 The boat and bridge are pretty distinctive, I guess. |

Posted By: Jim Wed, Feb 18, 2015 You may be interested in looking at the link. I think both are made by the same source, and would date about the same time. Regards, Jim |
Subject:Thanks, Jim
Posted By: beadiste Thu, Feb 19, 2015 I had guessed that the bottom stamp indicated early 1890s-1920s, so it was reassuring to see the Collector's Weekly site poster thought the same thing. |
