    This little guy has been lying around for a while. I think its 19th century, silk cord, glass marble-like bead, very intricate, very fine work. I remember hearing on the Roadshow that they signed the best ones, and this one is signed in the bottom compartment and also on the large bead. Does anyone have any tidbits of info about antique inro? Thanks for looking!

      Oooo I went to the Victoria and Albert Museum yesterday and they had quite a few of these. Fascinating and this could easily have been in a cabinet. It is like lovely.

      Yes‘ assumed you had excellent and impeccable credentials
      and I a lowly peasant ,I was only making a
      comment of the amount of time since the
      Original poster responded to anything ...

      no you are right i i misbehaved , i am on this for months , something strange, about this , i can,t cope with the chinese ( pinyin) , and the Chinese can,t cope with it either
      unfortunately

      assessment of justjeff 2 piece is probably right , that,is some consolation
