Subject:Chinese ivory carving - Artist signature
Posted By: Michael Wed, Jan 10, 2018 IP: 103.17.59.13 Does anyone recognise this signature? It's on the base of a very old ivory turtle/dragon carving/netsuke. I've been told it's not Japanese). Thank you

Subject:Re: Chinese ivory carving - Artist signature
Posted By: Stan Thu, Jan 11, 2018 Given the limited information provided, I'd date it circa 1930. It appears to be a netsuke (and ivory), which would make it Japanese. The pictures don't allow any judgement of quality since they show so little of the piece. In more recent times, a lot of cheap/crude carvings have been made in China for tourists.
