This is the fourth and last for now. It is different from the others as it has a rough concave pontil mark .Thank you again

I would say this one might not be Chinese, perhaps a small studio. It doesn't seem typical of the Chinese products IMHO

Thank you Christine i like this one the most :or:

... it has a rough concave pontil mark.
Could you provide an image?
"A rough concave pontil mark" does (in my experience) not usually point towards China.

This is as good a shot as i can get just now hope it helps

Whilst the design might well be Chinese, Chinese weights will in most cases have a flat, frosted, usually somewhat irregular base. More recently flat polished bases have shown up on the market.
Your weight seems to be fire polished - whether this means it is not Chinese, or that now Chinese weights with fire polished bases appear as well, I really don't know.

Thank you any way Wuff :or:
