    china1.jpg Thinking these probably just have decorative value as none are signed. All of the vases and small vessels (measuring 2 1/2 to 4 inches) are blue inside and on the base, but no signatures or marks on the base. The small vases have little caps that come off, no spoons or anything.

    Dating all of these to the 1960s or 70s as a guess.

    The red figure seems to be called "red amber" or "red amber bakelite" on Ebay, but don't seem to sell much.

    Anything stand out here that might need additional research? Thanks!

    I think you've got it covered.
    I love cloisonné. The two small vessels on the right could be snuff bottles.
    I never trust that red amber, there is so much of it.

    And Tanner was one of my favourite authors. I still howl when I read "Little Me" or "How Firm A Foundation"...............not to disregard his other classics of course!
