Subject:Netsuke - can anyone tell me about this piece?
Posted By: Anne-Marie Sun, Apr 28, 2019 IP: 72.69.155.159 I purchased this Netsuke at a thrift store in a bag of miscellaneous items for less than $3. I’m not sure of what material it is made or if it is a considered a good one. My husband thinks he sees grain in it but I don’t see it ...and I originally thought it was plastic. Is the bottom an actual signature or just some squiggles made to look like a signature? Any information given to me will be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Posted By: Anne-Marie Wed, May 01, 2019 Thank you for that helpful information. I am still wondering about the mark or signature on the bottom and the age... I would think it is a recent piece?

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Thu, May 02, 2019 I would say that in app. 80 years it will be called an antique.
