Title: Is this a sugar bowl, and how old might it be? sorry, I'm a newbie at this.
Post by: lipster3 on July 21, 2014, 05:41:52 PM: This was hiding in the bottom of a box lot. I know very little about china, but thought it looked neat. Bottom has what looks like a wierd makers mark, and the titles to the 2 scenes depicted. Hector chiding Paris, and Juno and Minerva going to save the Greeks. Is it even old, or just a tourist piece?

Almost makes me think of a museum piece sold in the gift shop.... Sold as a "hold all" or sugar bowl.

Right !! KC !! Last pic didn`t load so I didn`t see it at the same time !! I agree that is most likely what it is or just an inexpensive look-a-like !!

Post by: KC on July 22, 2014, 03:05:12 PM: I think I worded that incorrectly...made sense in my mind but when I re-read it... I meant to say:

Looks like a museum gift shop piece or piece sold in a gift shop.
