[QUOTE="kyratango, post: 319552, member: 5006"]Extracted from my crowded display cabinet ;-) My mother bought it in the 70' at a Chinese exposition at Galeries Lafayette, in Paris. At this time, these department stores, Le Printemps and Galeries Lafayette, held one expo a year and sold modern items, clothes decorative porcelain ware, jewelry, but also few antiques. I don't remember the price she paid, but at this time, Chinese antiques were very affordable! Both sides are decorated, one with a poem and signatures in red seal. It is 6.8cm or 2.5/8" high, 3.5cm or 1.3/8" wide. Coral, oxidised brass lid with cork stopper and bone spoon. Some brown powder remnants inside!
