    hi folks

    found this in our local charity shop yesterday for £1

    anyone have an idea where it might be from

    don't think it looks like the usual modern chinese ones, but unsure

    maybe a bit better ?

    don't think its got any age though

    any thoughts appreciated

    Well, it does look better quality than most Chinese stuff, but I think with those characters in the cartouches, it is Chinese. Just my opinion, though.
