A good price for mudmen dish garden figures of this age. They are decades old, some may be antique. They are somewhat crude export novelties that were made to go in Chinese rock dish gardens. They are great miniatures. Because of small size the details on faces are hard to see, but they all have nice details. Three sitting figures, one boy on water buffalo,three standing farmers. The tall standing farmer is 1 1/2". None have damage which is rare for this type of figure. A nice collection of ...click for details

click for details		Terrill C. Smith 510-531-6812 $18.00
A set of four monkeys, made in the mudman form from China. Made for small rock gardens or bonsai or just for a miniature colledtion. About 20 years old, export quality but a lot of hand work ,ones with peach are about 1 1/4". This type of handwork takes time and this type of export work will become more valuable and collectible as fewer craftsmen do this type of work. A good value for cute pieces.

This is the last of several of these unique and beautiful painted cloisonne vases I have. It was in my personal collection for years. I found these in their original packing box. They were old at the time and had never been out of their original packing. As photos show, they are cloisonne with large front and back open areas that have been overglaze painted, then kiln fired into the enamel. This is a difficult and rarely seen technique. The vase will come with the wood base. The vase alone is 8 ...click for details
