    Picked up this beautiful crane recently. It looks like a red crowned (tancho) crane.

    It tests for silver but I cant find any mark anywhere.
    I assume the piece is Japanese? Or is it Chinese?
    Any he;p on origin and age would be appreciated!

      forgot to mention, found some similar ones dated to the Qing dynasty. Could mine be that old?

      Looks Chinese in design. Well how old Qing went from 1644-1912. Is it marked anywhere? That would help with dating. early 1800's mid 1800's somewhere in there.

      No marks anywhere, just did a light test for silver on a stone with 18kt acids using the feet and tail feathers,
      I was thinking mid 20th century, but then saw the others and thought it may be late 19th to early 20th century? But it may be even earlier than that? Is there any way to tell?

      Sorry Im full of questions today! Thanks!
