<p>[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9492908, member: 84"]I found these last week at the local thrift store I go to - I think the first is a woodblock(?) print by Kitagawa Utamaro - but a regular buyer of my art finds said he couldn't seem to find another with a pencil signature - is this normal? Rare? A fake?</p><p>I found the prices for his work range from $100s to $1,000s - it would be great if this is real!</p><p>PS - 1st photo I took with my phone flash but it looked too dark/orangish so 2nd photo I took by open door with sunlight shining on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 2nd one is a beautiful carved wood...mirror or photo holder(?) with 2 doors. The screws on back holding the metal attachment to hang it has 2 old style slot screws so I'm hoping that was added mid century? and this may have some age to it?</p><p>Where is it from & what is it for - mirror or photo frame?</p><p>PS - I've seen these before but they were much bigger, which is why I'm wondering if it could be a photo frame (but why would you "close the doors" on a loved one's photo so it couldn't be seen?) - it measures 17" H x 18" W</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for any information; it is appreciated!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]446812[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]446813[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]446816[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]446818[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]446819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]446821[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]446824[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]446825[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]446826[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]446827[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9492908, member: 84"]I found these last week at the local thrift store I go to - I think the first is a woodblock(?) print by Kitagawa Utamaro - but a regular buyer of my art finds said he couldn't seem to find another with a pencil signature - is this normal? Rare? A fake? I found the prices for his work range from $100s to $1,000s - it would be great if this is real! PS - 1st photo I took with my phone flash but it looked too dark/orangish so 2nd photo I took by open door with sunlight shining on it. The 2nd one is a beautiful carved wood...mirror or photo holder(?) with 2 doors. The screws on back holding the metal attachment to hang it has 2 old style slot screws so I'm hoping that was added mid century? and this may have some age to it? Where is it from & what is it for - mirror or photo frame? PS - I've seen these before but they were much bigger, which is why I'm wondering if it could be a photo frame (but why would you "close the doors" on a loved one's photo so it couldn't be seen?) - it measures 17" H x 18" W Thank you for any information; it is appreciated!
