This is a great piece. Have you considered contacting one of the online Asian antique sites to see if they can tell you more about it and the value? Are the fishermen made of ivory?
I own one of these. What did you find out about it? Real, or knock-off?
Thanks.
Looks Like An Awesome Find! Contact Christies Auction House, ( Go To Consignments) Send a Picture from all Angles, use MACRO Setting on you camera to get all detailing in pictures! Send in measurements. Looks VERY OLD. If authentic, I,d say yo have several thousand dollars in the bank. Good Luck!
I've had one of these since the '70s but in bronze. Mine is unmarked.
I have one of these, I was wondering what it might be worth. It looks pretty old, I believe it is jade and ivory.
Hey John, does it have the same mark on the bottom as the one pictured? If it does, then like the one posted here, it's not jade and ivory but high quality molded composition and 20th century. Very likely made in Italy, but I've been unable to find that mark. Regards, Jim
