Old chinese lid - 17thc ?

Hi

folks something else i found yesterday at a brick a brack stall
ive seen modern pieces with the same sort of characters, but this is alot older i get the feeling

the jar or vase it once belonged to must have been a fair old size i would think

i came across this while researching, seems to share very similar characteristics though better condition

if it is that old, would there still be collectors, given that its just a lid ?

any thoughts appreciated

smells beautiful for some reason, strange old musty smell

heavy as well

 

this one seems to have one similar, but looks like a marriage from here

no didnt see that one mate, similar look
i always thought those cutsey looking figures were a modern style

If it didn't sell maybe they might want to buy your lid. If it fits of course.
You should consider contacting them.

Forgive me, Charlie, but we're all here to learn. If you'll excuse my French... It's bric-à-brac.

For fans of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" - the kids with the baggy clothes and long sleeves remind me of the "Footmen", the flapping, gyrating assistants to the "Gentlemen" in the episode "Hush".

It has the look of something aged, but how old is the problem. It seems to be a common motif. I guess put it up for sale and see what bites you get!

 

us devonshire folk need more than a little help

its a good job you cant hear as well

 

go back to the stall till you find the base !!!!

 

yeah these are the types i thought it was from when i first saw it, and see them everywhere

 

yeah i did ask mate, its usually the lids that are missing not the ruddy vase
