<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 5690095, member: 10944"]Grabbed this for a couple bucks just because it was cute and figured it would be one of those $15-$20 easy sells. It’s nice but assumed just a tchotchke which it very well may be. Just posted about not checking things out and then wondering yesterday though. Was about to do the same today when I remembered the estate I got it from. It was a near ten million dollar condo with at least a handful of pieces of modern art and furniture worth over 10k each. So I figure I could take a minute to ask about this mark. If any home was going to have a newer sleeper it may be this one. The mark kind of looks like an elephant to me. Anyone know it? The box looks vaguely Chinese to me. Doesn’t look very old. At best maybe a better end designers mark I guess. Probably nothing but a pretty thing though. Roughly 4” across or so [ATTACH=full]416697[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]416698[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]416699[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]416700[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
