Hello everyone on the forum.. Wanted to post a couple of bottles that I have acquired here recently . Nothing to special but I like them. Just not for sure what they are made of. Would appreciate if anybody could help. Also sorry about the quality of pictures, not the best of camera's. Thanks Aaron  Smiley

Gosh.. I just can not tell what that material is for the emperor carving.. The black spots through out are confusing me.., and the pic for the bottom is to out of focus to see any possible grain.

I can not remember what that kind of paint is called on the second one.  Porcelain painted ?

The first one looked kind of like soap stone to me, I certainly can't be sure, or some kind of manmade stone? I will vote modern. 90s after

The second one is a enamel on metal, I can't tell which kind of metal its, could be on copper, but still, i will vote for modern. 70s-80s

Its just my 2 cents, could be wrong...
