Re: Another Old Chinese Seal

Hello Paul and Mike,

The cloisonne items shown don't appear to include a seal. The piece at the top of the photos looks like a tray for holding pens (or brushes in Japan or China). The handled item at lower left is a blotter, and the capped one at lower right, which is shaped like a pagoda roof, seems to be an inkwell.

In my estimation, this probably is a 20th century writing set of fairly recent vintage and possibly meant to appeal to Western markets.

Best regards,

Bill H.
