Posted By: Justin Sun, Sep 10, 2017 IP: 100.0.76.125 My family inherited these pieces ( there's actually a couple more pieces but I don't have pictures of them on hand) and I can't find about them. They came from a family members who's family originated in Shanghai. They are both made from heavy dense woods. |

Posted By: kirk Fri, Oct 20, 2017 they both appear to be early 20th century and made of blackwood. blackwood is Dalbergia melanoxylon, an African hardwood, and important commercial species that has been imported to China and used in furniture since the 1820's |

Posted By: kirk Tue, Aug 27, 2019 Apologies about the late reply. Im not really qualified to comment on small items, just furniture, and thought someone else likely would, but as they haven't I will tell you my thoughts about your smalls anyway. The vase is a Japanese bronze, depicting a Phoenix, an important / imperial symbol in Oriental art, that is signed by the artist. There is a book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Japanese-Art-Signatures-Handbook-Practical/dp/1891640097 |
