Is This Chinese Export jade or Older?

carol johnson — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 21:05:09 +0000

Good afternoon all! I just bought this piece and I know nothing about it. It seems old and features a carved a guy on a vine to me and a boat. It is pretty large. It is 10.9 cm by 5.3 cm and 89.2 grams. I am hoping someone will be able to help me with the age and origin. Thank you so much for looking and for your responses

Canton export plate and bowl with unusual double-joinery handles

Preston Barski — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 02:58:02 +0000

Hey all,

I picked this over a year ago and have been holding onto them for more to build a small collection for sale. I was taking a look at these two tonight again and Im having some questions about their age. I know its in the style of generic 19th+c. canton export, but i think they may be older. The double-joinery handles, which have been fortunately intact, is a clue along with the back of the plate suggesting 18th century style. The plate also has some glaze missing on the rim like a chip almost exposing the porcelain.

Anyone seen the cup or bowl before like the handles yet? Any insight to its age is very welcomed as well.

Age and worth help

I am hoping to find out thoughts on age and value of this mirrored wall pocket pair. I was thinking about getting them, but I usually buy items and enjoy them for a year or so, then often sell them. Also, do you think they were damaged and that’s why someone enclosed them in pewter (or whatever the metal is)? The porcelain is about 8”. Hopefully the photo is ok. It’s all I have.

Pair of Suzuki Chokichi signed Kakō

Preston Barski — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 14:34:49 +0000

Hey all,

I have the opportunity to purchase this pair of mixed metal vases in the style of Suzuki's works. Im hesitant since its a small investment if they are legitimate, but the details and photos are pretty vague and unclear. The signature is missing the double-mountain signature above them, and I've only been able to see this signature on a pair listed via Waki auctions on another pair. Its currently a gamble, but from what is shown, is it likely made by him?

Wucia double gord vases real our fake?

John Hamilton — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 02:37:15 +0000

Curious on some opinions on these Wucia glazed double gord vases. Unfortunately these are the only pictures I have of these for now. Appears these are guangxu marks on both. Wondering if these are later reproduction our possible mark and period? Thanks again :)
