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

The price is for both rug wall hangings. I purchased these wall hanging rugs in China in 1984. They were showpieces on display in a top of the line rug company showroom. They were not new when I purchased them so I would guess they are about fourty to fifty years old. They are two of the most detailed finely woven works I have seen. The colors are subtle, the carving is outstanding. I had them hanging for about a dozen years and they should be cleaned by a very good rug cleaning company. The set ...click for details

Outstanding workmanship. This is one of a set of Monk-Buddhas made sometime around the turn of the last century. It is a brown Yxing type clay with iron oxide washes to give it darker brown colors.

click for details		Terrill C. Smith 510-531-6812 $260.00
This porcalain snuff bottle is both primitive and charming. I know it is at least 60 years old, and I think is is closer to the turn of the last century. It is marked but the mark has worn off in parts. It has a jade stopper, probably not original but it does fit the piece and the time. It is 2 1/2" tall and has the 8 lucky horses of the emperor of China overglazed on the two sides. This is a really nice bottle.

click for details		Terrill C. Smith 510-531-6812 $58.00
I am not quite sure of just how old this very pretty brush pot is. It is at least 50 years and perhaps older. It is a double diamond shape which is very difficult to mold and fire and end up with such a wonderfully finished piece. It is marked on the bottom. It is a very complex molded design with four panels of women in a variety of activity. It is 3 3/4" tall and 4" long. A really good piece of workmanship.

This unusual fancy snuff bottle was made more than 30 years ago. It is unique in that it is a thin blown glass, not the thicker carved glass of most glass snuff bottles. These are hard to photograph because they are transparent, the colors are lighter than pictures show. This bottle has its original box. It is 4" tall. It has bird like side handles with free loops of glass. Very nice painting of a childs buddha one side and reverse are a pair of poets. Beautiful, unusual and a good addition ...click for details
