Rare semi transparent blue glass spiral glass ornament with finely “fluted” edge. I picked this up in Thailand and was attributed to being Dong Son culture (2000BCE-200CE). A lot of old things show up from Vietnam or Cambodia and are by default dated to this era. This piece may be considered a study piece or “fixer upper, sold as is”- please note enlargements scale in centimeters. Good ones with no damage sell for $2000-$3000.USD in the upmarket Asian Arts and Antiques Fairs.

Very fine old Cambodian red and black lacquered betel box constructed of wood with carved bamboo trim. Crack in the lid but no restoration (possibly the rim of the lid has been repainted as the color is a brighter red than the rest of the body). Any lacquer coming from Southeast Asia with no signs of use is a strong indicator that it’s new. Please view previous listings on my site of Cambodian lacquer for more insight and personal musings into this craft. Circa 50 to 60 years old. D: 22 ...click for details
