[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 224277, member: 2844"]Oops, I deleted the pictures after the sale. It was a creamy white fan with the four Chinese seasonal plants, cherry blossom, peony, chrysanthemum and bamboo, painted in black.

I bought it from China about seven years ago, and sold it to a Chinese guy here in The Netherlands, so there is a definite Chinese theme here. Besides, as a fan collector and collector of Chinese antiques, I can tell you it is Chinese. My asking price was 25 euro, about 21.75 pounds, which may have been too little because he didn't haggle (Chinese custom), and asked if I had more.
