<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 2642925, member: 2844&quot;]Thanks for taking the trouble, ezee. Strangely I can now see all of your excellent photos.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/confused.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" /> No idea what is going on with my computer, it is also working at a snail pace.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your cute box is of a type I saw a lot on ebay etc ca 1995-2010. I have a porcelain snuff bottle with the same silvertone metal dragon and phoenix mount, bought around the same time. Those mounts are also used on Peking glass &#039;wedding&#039; bangles.</p><p>In spite of the mark, your box could have been made around the time I started seeing them. So an apocryphal mark.</p><p>The dragon and phoenix symbolism is described in one of the ebay listings. The value given by the &#039;appraiser&#039; and the price in both listings are beyond ridiculous. During the period I saw so many of them, they sold for $0.99-$19.99 with free shipping (paid by the Chinese state, promotion).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
