<p>[QUOTE="Vesuvia, post: 2641840, member: 10906"]Howdy all, I hope this listing finds you all happy and healthy! I had a question about an ivory netsuke I happened upon. It is definitely ivory with the engine turning, and it has a signature, my questions on it are, is it antique or perhaps newer than antique? As it has 2 Himotoshi of equal size, curved and not angled, I had read that antique netsuke have 2 unevenly sized himotoshi to tuck in the cord. There is a chip in the ivory where a piece of gold was poking out too, I wonder how much that would effect value? </p><p><br /></p><p>also, does anyone recognize the signature? Any help in identifying age and signature would be phenomenal! Thank you so much! jem [ATTACH=full]272457[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]272458[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]272459[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
