Chinese fish bowl
« on: May 13, 2019, 06:51:26 am »
One for you oriental experts on here, a friend visiting from HK this week advised me to get this checked out. I inherited this bowl from an old lady who died around 20 years ago, her husband was a ships captain and picked this up around 1940-50. It's lived in the corner of various rooms of different houses over the years. I actually got it as i always loved the plant which was in it, sadly the plant died this week causing me to take a look bowl properly for the first time! lol! My friend seemed to think it had some real age? So just wondering if anyone on here more knowledgeable than myself may know?

Your right Mart! I’ve been doing some more research and it is modern, lol! Oh well, I’ll be putting another plant in it then!
