Posted By: rat Thu, Feb 12, 2015 In that case you'll need to consult and pay an appraiser. Free opinions, some well-informed, some less so, are all that are offered here. Having seen other such Chinese objects carved and colored similarly, I'm of the view they are 20th century Chinese, better than average quality, but still meant as decorative items. |
