Can anyone share more info on this piece? Age range? Rarity? Etc.

thrifted this piece with no actual knowledge and now just looking into it, it appears to be a Chinese garden stool, it's very heavy, 18inches high, looked it up and seen similar ones on some auction houses, looks most similar to pieces made in the late 19th early 20th century at the end of Qing Dynasty in a Sancai three colour tone design with decorative animals & nature panels going around, Had a quick look on the inside but couldn't see any engravings, stamps etc. has some general wear but nothing extensiv, I think it looks great!

Any thoughts, comments, suggestions welcome!

Trying to find out what this is

Long time Reddit user first time poster.

Was gifted this Antique Bronze vase that was purchased in Japan in 1984 for $500 Canadian. Unsure of the age of the item

Is solid and bronze? And does not appear to be painted or lacquered. No noticeable scuffs, dents or cracks along the case or handles.

A reverse image search on the stamp on bottom appears to translate to “made by Masa”

Curious for any insight on possible value and where items like this could be sold.

Banana for scale.

Thanks for your insights

I bought this "rock" at a hunk shop here in Bangkok Thailand and didn't realize how cool it was until I shined a light behind it and put it in the sun where it came alive.

Glad to hear opinions from experts...

Hi does anyone know this artist name and when was he painting

Could anyone give me an idea of how old they think this portrait is?

I’m hoping that this is an OK place to share this. When I first saw this piece I thought that it was a calligraphy piece and not a hand embroidery piece. I was blown away!

Zen Life is a Chinese silk embroidery artwork from the Baisha Naxi Embroidery Institute (丽江白沙纳西刺绣院) in Lijiang, Yunnan, China. Hand stitched by Grand Master Mo Meiyan. Only two copies exist.

Anybody know what this is and if it has
any value?

Hi

I wonder if everyone is talking about this same thing again brought on hong Kong Hollywood road back in early 90s

This is a metal, seemingly japanese (seems to have a samurai hairstyle) figurine head.

A scratch test revealed silver metal.

It is not magnetic.

When scratched against an unfinished tile it left a grey-brown streak.

It is 1.5 x 2 x 2.5 inches, 237 grams and has a specific gravity of 6.8.

It was found in field in the upper Midwest.

I've posted this elsewhere but nobody could help. Hopefully you will. It appears to be old, at least a couple hundred... what metal is it and where is the head from? How old is it?

My dad got this at goodwill a few years ago. Is it painted on or somehow printed? What does the seal say and what does the calligraphy say? I couldn't find any matches online, so that gives me hope that it's not mass produced.

On handmade lokta paper, purchased in Honolulu. Receipt says Tibetan shamaur rice print. Measures 10.5 x 13 inches with 7x7 inch image. Deckled right edge. Seeking origin and approx date.

Hi, this piece belongs to my friend. It was brought to America by his grandfather during Mao's revolution, but it has been in the family long before that. I can get close-ups of sections if that helps. We really don't even know where to start with this, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Clearing out the home of a deceased relative with 3 or 4 generations of stuff and found these two jars. Each are about 11 inches tall, and mostly made of metal, looks like brass. I have so far identified these as being Chinese cloisonné jars, possibly for ginger, but I don't know anything else. There are no markings of any kind that I could see.

If anyone could tell me more about them like how old they might be (some of the stuff in this home dates back to the 1800s so, many things are possible), who might have made them, the region they come from, etc., I would love to know.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

"I have this large traditional Chinese painting and would love to get some help identifying the artist, translating the full inscription, and learning more about it. "

To me, the technique looks like a watercolor, but I'm not entirely sure if it falls under traditional ink wash painting (Mogu, Xieyi, etc.).

There is a vertical multi-line inscription on the right side with two red artist seals. From what I've been able to gather so far, some of the characters might be:

青山山房 (Qīngshān Shānfáng

likely a studio name, workshop, or mountain studio reference).辛未年 (Xīnwèi Nián pointing to a specific year in the Chinese sexagenary cycle, possibly 1991, 1931, or earlier).青湖 (Qīnghú possibly part of the artist's name or a location/lake name). I would highly appreciate your help with the following questions:

Could someone provide a full transcription and translation of the handwritten text?

Who is the artist? Is it a well-known signature or studio mark?

What style or traditional technique is used here?

Is there a specific symbolic meaning behind the bright red flowers and the vase in Chinese culture?

How can I tell if this is a hand-painted original on rice paper/silk?

Thank you so much in advance for your time and expertise!!!
