<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kardinalisimo, post: 37007, member: 118&quot;]I am a bit confused about these pieces. The decoration looks like Japanese kutani but the hairdos of the geisha girls are not typical Japanese hairstyle. The shoes are kind of different too. They are usually depicted in black or the feet are covered all the way with the robes.</p><p>I am thinking that they could be Chinese export for the Japanese market but why then the Qianlong mark (which by the way is not very well drawn).</p><p>Not terribly old but I do see some age signs like scratches, gilt lost etc.</p><p>Any help with determining the country of origin and approx. age?</p><p>Thanks</p><p><img src="http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s397/imaginara/temp/1_zps252c75a3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s397/imaginara/temp/2_zpseee6ff59.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s397/imaginara/temp/3_zps6ba03b3b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s397/imaginara/temp/9_zpsc1bad62f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
