The bottom of the piece will show if it's pressed or hand done. Very, very involved pattern.
I will take photo of backside!
I think it is hand done as the pattern is so different from preceding ones
Maybe someone staying up all night doing uppers or amphetamines did this!! Intense!!
Not magnetic
You should be able to see hammer marks, surely. I just see some ridges from turning?
Hi Kevin, this is the edge of this? The patterns do not repeat perfectly, they are all different a little?
Not sure, mate. Perhaps someone else will venture a thought or two? You are up late!
I am up late, I have pain in my legs, so I stay up late always.
I hope you get some sleep soon mate!
Hiya Torakitty....my guess...I think this is hand carved Chinese. Americans always seem to have the two layer (stepped) plates, it doesn't give me an India or Persia vibe because of the pattern...that's how I'd start tracking but...I don't know...
Can't sleep? Rock a by Kitty on the tree tops, when the wind blows the kitty will rock...
