  1. Matching Fisherman Figurine Pair (2 Pieces):Two highly detailed figures of smiling elders/fishermen mounted on matching tiered dark wood display stands.

  3. Cream Faux-Ivory Snuff Bottle:Beautifully detailed double-sided narrative scene carving depicting scholars in a pagoda landscape. Features a brass collar rim and includes its original interior applicator spoon fully intact.
  4. Red Cinnabar-Style Snuff Bottle:High-relief double-sided carving featuring birds perched among lotus blossoms, built over an inner brass frame.(Note: The inner applicator spoon/wand is broken off at the base, but the lid remains intact).
  5. Miniature Puzzle/Mystery Ball:A fascinating interactive sphere carved with nested concentric geometric layers inside that rotate completely independently from one another. The outer shell features a traditional high-relief Dragon and Phoenix motif.
  6. Shau Lao God of Longevity Statue:A vintage 1970s large dark brown molded resin figure carved in the likeness of the Taoist God of Longevity holding his signature rustic staff. Retains its original gold foil import sticker on the bottom reading "Made in Taiwan / Republic of China."

Condition Details:
All pieces are in good vintage condition overall with a wonderful aged color palette. The intricate external relief carvings remain remarkably crisp across all items. Please note the following specific vintage flaws: The red snuff bottle's inner applicator wand is snapped off inside, the wood display bases show minor surface dust/scuffs, and the bone letter opener blade tip has a past break and is missing a portion of its tapered end (sold strictly as-is).
