<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 4560069, member: 84&quot;]I found the antique tile at a local thrift store yesterday. It still has the receipt taped to the back of it that says it&#039;s porcelain tile painted with Chinese characters over 100 years and from Ching(?) Dynesty and cost $2,000 HKD (Hong Kong dollars). But what&#039;s unusual - unless buyer was making payments - the receipt on top says 1999 but the American Express receipt stapled to the back from same store is dated 2001?</p><p>How old is it?</p><p>I haven&#039;t heard of Ching Dynesty so I imagine the Chinese store keeper&#039;s english translating is perfect? When is it from?</p><p>There is writing on the lower left corner; can anyone tell what it says?</p><p>If I did my calculations right when a U.S. $1 = $7.75 HK dollars I figured it sold for about U.S. $250 - is it worth that much, or was it made for a tourist like my guy on the receipt?</p><p>Any thoughts would be very helpful &amp; appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 2nd piece is a painting that looks like a lady from the roaring 20&#039;s sleeping! To me it&#039;s pretty &amp; well done - but I can&#039;t find anything under an artist with the name Cy Rosack; am I reading the signature wrong?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for any help; it is appreciated!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404620[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]404621[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]404623[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404624[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]404625[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]404626[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404628[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]404630[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
