[QUOTE="'Nuff_Said, post: 5466, member: 181"]Thanks Shiloh. Yes if I'm not mistaken, bats do symbolize good luck. There's also engravings of birds, dragonflies, etc witihin the silver mounts. The Chinese porcelain washer itself is just a run-of-the-mill piece. What makes it special is the French silver mount conversion. Not sure why the former owner in those days (late-19th C.) choose to have such elaborate mounts placed on a not so desirable piece of porcelain. To each his/her own I guess.[/QUOTE]
