Ipcress: thank you for your reply, I did try to look as well before posting and it is like you mentioned,all I found were the bats , 4 character marks but nothing similar to that. looking forward to hearing what you find out about the marks.
I guess it is most probably the early 20th but I would like to make sure.
Forgot to mention, if it is of any help that it is 31 cm wide.
mart: my wife's father has been an ambassador in Europe and Asia and her grand mother was a known pioneering feminist leader and nationalist in the period 1879 -1947 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huda_Shaarawi) and used to receive gifts from several places but I think it was most likely my wife's father who got it when he was an ambassador and that was in 1960s but he could have received it as a gift as well when he was in asia , however I cannot find any info related to the markings or a similar drawing of the same dragon.
