Subject:any info on these jade/brass inkwell and candleholders?
Posted By: melissa Wed, Jun 04, 2014 IP: 205.250.204.146 Hi, Can anyone point me to an era/region so I can further research these pieces? I've looked at images online but haven't found anything similar. Looking for any helpful info. Thank you.

Posted By: Stan Thu, Jun 05, 2014 The stone looks like marble. They look like Victorian era candlesticks. What makes you think they are Asian? For a region, you might start with the USA or UK depending on where you live.

Posted By: melissa Fri, Jun 06, 2014 Thanks for the reply Stan. I agree that they don't look like an Asian design. My mother had told me they were Jade and that they had been bought back from Asia by a relative which is why I started here. Maybe French vietnamese? I'm not sure where to go from here!
