Very colorful porcelain Temple Lions from China. Like the ones that guard the Palaces and Temples and Homes. This pair will protect any entrance. Porcelain with overglaze red-brown color and applied gold paint. Somewhat crude painting of colors but the overall look is very charming. Not new, no damage. 6" tall and somewhat heavy, so a little more for shipping. Great pair, female with pup and male with orb-ball.

Great sculpting and overglaze painting on this porcelain snuff bottle. Two boys piggy back. The topknot pulls out with a brass spoon. This bottle has an antique look, but I do not think it is more than 30 years old. The quality of the workmanship and painting make it a good addition to a collection. It is not marked and it is about 3 1/2" tall. No damage.

click for details		Terrill C. Smith 510-531-6812 $44.00
This is one of the best designs I have seen on a cloisonne egg. It has four dragon masks in the archaic style. Old cloisonne with colors that are fired in glass fused to copper or bronze base. The color comes to the surface, not like newer cloisonne that has layers of clear over color, or worse yet resin. It is about 2 3/4" tall and it will come with the gold painted wood stand you see in pictures.

A wonderful brilliant porcelain open work pot. This piece has outstanding workmanship. It is pierced and would be a grand orchid pot, or just a grand decoration. It could be used with an interior container for flowers. It is covered with a brilliant marigold yellow glaze. A great deal of hand detailing went into this beautiful piece. It is about 5 1/2" tall.

Price os for both rugs. 22" X 37". See images of the mate to this rug. I purchased these from an outstanding rug factory in China [Hong Kong store] in 1984, they were not new then. They were on display to show how fine the quality of work that this company could do. They did not want to sell these so I had to pay a very high price at the time in Hong Kong. They have very subtle colors that are very hard to show in the images. The carving is almost like carved colored ivory. The wool is ...click for details
