DAIKOKU FIGURINE (PURE SILVER) |
Posted By: JeffGuy Posted Date: Jan 12, 2013 (06:39 AM) |
Message This is Japanese, not Chinese, so no relation to opium whatsoever. It is a 20th century decorative object. You should check with a silver test if you think it is silver; I've never seen that mark used to indicate Japanese silver purity; nor have I ever seen a pure 1000 japanese silver object (only 925, 950, sometimes 970). Pure 1000 silver is very soft and not practical. Post a Response |
