Old Picture Paperweight Chinese

<< < (2/2)

SophieB:
Many thanks, Leni.

This was very helpful. For a minute I thought that new 'traditional' Chinese whites were been produced again and I was really excited!!! New paperweights to hunt and all that... Never mind. For the record I am not impressed by the 'painted inside' baubles/paperweights much (nor by the transfer ones).

Thanks again,

Sophie

Thank you very much for all your replies and confirming it is Chinese, I have to admit I had not seen one before and agree they are quite nice.

I never actually bought the paperweight, my wife found it in a charity shop

Thanks again Roy

Lily of the Valley:
Hi Roy!  I think 'your' Chinese White is quite nice.  The colors look to be bright and the scene well set.  I hope you trotted right down to that charity shop and made it yours.  If nothing else, you could list it on (where else?) ..... eBay!

Hi Lily

When my wife found it she sent me a picture on her phone , I tried to phone but in a bad area when I picked her up I asked what it was and she said a paperweight as I could not tell from the small picture.

As I could see it had a price of 50p on it I said at 50p I would of had expected you to buy it regardless which she had, I guessed as much Chinese but being honest had not heard of or seen a Chinese white before, but I do look at all paperweights and pretty sure would have bought it myself for that price.

I will put it on the glass market place for you to see on behalf of my wife as I feeling a little guilty at present as I am going camping with my 2 younger children for 10 days soon and leaving the wife at home to look after the builders who have a lot of work to do while the house whikle empty

Lily of the Valley:
Thanks for the heads up, Roy!  Have a great trip with your kids.  Your wife might just be glad you are away while all the work is going on.  My personal experience leads me to believe people don't necessarily get along as usual with such commotion taking place.  Best to leave one in charge to deal ....
