$39.00 price reduction. 

This very colorful rose canton ginger jar was made probably 60 or 70 years ago. Not quite antique, but old style and mark. It has thick overglaze enamel colors and a great deal of hand work. Some stamping with black outlines which indicates its age. It has no damage and is in like new condition. It is 5" high and about 5" wide. This age piece is still a very good price. These are now much harder to find and going up in price all the time. Now is a good time to buy.

$145.00 

I worked for years before I could come up with the right formula, right temperature to fire, right designs that could be sculpted from pressing in order to recreate Egyptian jewelry using the clay paste known as Fiaence. It is like working with wet baking soda, it does what it wants to and most of the beads and relics I make I can not use. All the pieces in this necklace are the same color. My original designs are based on ancient Egyptian talismans. Bees, Coptic angel face and pestil tubes. Thi ...click for details

The piece of Jade that was used to cut this piece was probably Bowenite. The piece has a wonderful color and has the look of nephrite jade [old jade] but it is not, and it is much less expensive.

This piece has had two very nice silver hooks to latch it. Top to bottom hang is juct over 12", so it makes for a short pieceg when on an average ...click for details

$39.00 

This has the right look and feel to be taken for a Qing dynasty piece, but it is not, it is only about 20 to 30 years old. A great deal of hand repousse work and wonderful moth luck design. A great ethnic look and a low price for what you see. This piece is 2 1/2" long and 1" thick, hollow so it is lightweight and drilled so it is ready to hang or string.

$48.00 

This cast metal piece is a handsome rendition of Hanuman the Monkey God. He is hard to find in a monkey form as this one is he usually looks more human than monkey and that is why I find this piece unusual. The patina is both natural and enhanced but he is older, perhaps 40 years. The metal base is a mixture of copper, brass and or bronze. I have had him for over twenty years and he was not new when I purchased him. He is almost 6" tall and has a wonderful Indonesian type headress. He is fr ...click for details

Old, possibly close to an antique. Delightful painting in reverse of a kingfisher and a sparrow on the reverse. This bottle is a classic old cameo carved yellow on clear layered glass with reverse painting. Larger size of 3 1/2". Original peking glass stopper and bone spoon. These bottles are going up in price for a good reason, they are classic and very well made and painted. The sides have stylized lion faces.
