  1. Wow! dav2no1! you have partially solved this. the one difference is that mine is on an elaborate bronze/copper plinth. Although I can't see it really well at biggrassliving, i think there are some...
  2. after exploring this piece more, I realize that the frame itself is actually gilded bronze and the elaborate stand and back plate are brass.
  3. I've been doing some research on this painting and have come to some new conclusions. It doesn't fit Shennong for several reasons. He is holding a small, forked daikon in one hand and a sharpened ma...
  4. Or they might have been used for transporting gunpowder. Here's a very similar one: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4437504481/antique-chinese-gunpowder-or-bullet-jar
  5. After reading thru some long research papers, there is some consensus that these jars were used for transporting fermented tea leaves - possibly oolong. But there is still considerable mystery. If t...
  6. I ran all your comments thru ChatGPT and you have another big fan there! It was able to help me understand some of your comments much better. You really are amazing! Did you work for a museum? ca...
  7. I'm reading some research papers on anping jars. I think that this might fall into the oldest category - pre-1600 - because of the glazed rim and the cylindrical foot rim. still studying though...
  8. You are absolutely correct Waki! You have solved this mystery which has occupied me for a long time. Anping jars are still a bit mysterious. Of all the ones I saw online, mine has a very wide and f...
  9. I have never found out anything about this rearing bronze horse. He's very large at 40 inches high and he has a wonderful patina. He's wearing a very distinctive saddle which I have never figured ou...
  10. I love this!! Release the Eggstein files!
  11. thanks for the comments and the likes. i just found this and decided to look it up. apparently they are very collectible.
  12. Do you have any tips for successfully getting to people's individual posts? I try a lot and only get the message: Error :( We're really really sorry, Collectors Weekly has had a bad fatal error. We'...
  13. Wow! your knowledge of bronzes is tremendous. You and Waki are CW treassures!
  14. Thank you Waki!
  15. As a Quebecois descendant, I can tell you we love checkers and carrom!
  16. Thank you Vynil. Makes sense.
  17. I recently showed this to someone who has studied Rengetsu's work for a long time. He pointed out that this is a katakuchi or pouring bowl. It is very unusual because of the 'handle' opposite the sp...
  18. This piece drives me a bit nuts for a few reasons. The foot and footrim look like Yuan dynasty - as does the celadon crackle, but i think i'm the only one who sees it! [never a good sign]
  19. Thank you so much Apostata! I'm glad to see here. Be well, my friend!
  20. I think it is Italian 17th or 18th c.
  21. one of my earliest memories was waking from a nap with the raucous cawing of bluejays outside the window at my Memere's home.
  22. I love this! particularly because i live in E. Oakland.
  23. thank you everyone for the likes. I haven't seen a posting from apostata in awhile. is he okay?
  24. I'm pretty sure that this painting is of a Poilus - a French soldier from WW1. His moustache and the collar of that blue shirt are indicative of that. I'm going to put in a better photo of it now.
  25. I was told recently that the ring around the bowl represents a snake and that this is a shaman's bowl.
  26. I think that this was made by Johannes Brahm from California Pottery.
  27. Thank you apostata.
  28. Japanese.
  29. Thank you Phil. I'm sure that you are correct.
  30. i also mourned the passing of this gem! Broken English!
  31. interesting dog figure - whenever it was made! i always enjoy reading apostata's evaluation. it took me a long time to understand what he was saying, but i get it much quicker now. i just wish it w...
  32. i was contacted by the grandson of the artist recently. he found me through this page.
  33. thanks Vynil.
  34. That makes sense Kevin although it is written as 'hier-a-soir' which i don't get.
  35. I'm pretty certain that all the cards are from 1903-1905 or within a year or two of this.
  36. well thank you apostata - for your time and expertise. it was my feeling when i got it that they are pretty old.
  37. Thanks kwqd. the vase is 5.5 inches tall.
  38. I was looking at the base of this piece under a very bright light and i made out the words under it. It says 'Lolita' and the number 3 and very faintly around the edge, it has in script 'California'....
  39. Thank you Vinyl and Phil!
  40. This is a really interesting / wonderful tile! The dragonfly is really nice too!
  41. maybe. or maye just a spirit house with a little doll glued in it?
  42. i'm not sure i understand what you are saying apostata. ??
  43. Thanks Newfld!
  44. Newfld - that works - clicking gently and slowly tends to work well. thank you!
  45. Thank you Lizzy. that does make sense. it kind of reminds me of Banko.
  46. this is a pretty amazing sign!
  47. Thanks Newfld. i'll try again.
  48. can anyone tell me why i get an error message almost everytime i click on someone's posts?
  49. i have one just like it, but i didn't know that it was a humidor. Thanks!
  50. I think that these are pine needle baskets from the southeastern usa.
