<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kardinalisimo, post: 46873, member: 118&quot;]I see that similar are selling for cheap. Even the one from Late Edo period. I guess the real deal are the very old ones, especially the early Chinese mirrors. And maybe the one with more unusual designs.</p><p>This is about 8 1/2&quot; in diameter.</p><p>The holly olive leaves are the family crest or the so called kamon/mon but don&#039;t know if they matter at all. The writings on the left are supposed to be the maker. Would be nice if someone can translate them but doubt that will matter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure how to test the mirror. I guess I need a dark place and blast the flat surface with light. Well, no flashlight so I have to figure something.</p><p><img src="http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s397/imaginara/2green/mira/1_zpsxgdc9lh1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s397/imaginara/2green/mira/4_zpsbe8rzzwm.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s397/imaginara/2green/mira/11_zpslf5ixth5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
