Message:: [QUOTE="'Nuff_Said, post: 17528, member: 181"]Thanks AF, Don and Davey. Yup, those little red points are hands, a Cocktail Kaleidoscope it is and it's in perfect working order. Downside, it is a lady's watch, as the men's pieces sell much better. Nice jewels as always, Sharona. [USER=277]@mr2real[/USER], No offence taken. And thank goodness for folks like yourself who see these items at fleas and past them by thinking they are modern imports. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> The blue and white Chinese prunus vase is usually associated with the Kangxi (1662 - 1722) Period......especially given the double-ring underglaze blue mark on base. But judging from the cobalt blue decoration, the heavy & thickly potted porcelain body and the way the footrim has been grinded down, this piece is clearly not of that early period......but of a later period, 19th C. And in my opinion, late-19th C. Almost the same as above applies with the Chinese sancai and turquoise glazed figures. Most often associated to an earlier period, but judging from the style, form, glaze, mark and decoration, of a later period, 20th C. And in my opinion, from the Republic (1912 - 1949) Period. For $6 these items were a good buy. Not of any great value, but will sell for much, much more than $6. [ATTACH=full]4312[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]4313[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
