I have searched for weeks and cannot find a pair like these. It seems they are painted over glaze. Familie Rose, very slight imperfections (a few rough spots inside sticks- a tiny black spot on apron. No obvious identifying marks although there could be (very small squiggly lines could be chinese maker)
They resemble a common type selling online for 100-$400 but more closely resemble a pair on Christies selling at 14,000, the backbones on mine are straight, mine are not shiny less the underside and the tusks don't match the cheaper pairs. I believe the new ones are copied from the style and just don't have the quality,character, and "feel" that I feel mine possess
Link :a similar pair
