[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 7840185, member: 2844"]Beautiful, ty.:happy: I am no obi expert, I just love them, and have seen quite a few oldies. From my limited knowledge I'd say late 1800’s is correct. The birds are hoo-oo, Japanese phoenix, a feminine symbol. Hoo-oo can be spelled different ways. The chrysanthemums are symbols of longevity and nobility.[/QUOTE]
