    These two dishes have been in our family for generations. Very little is known about them. They are each about 2 feet in diameter, made of medal (bronze?). Please tell me whatever you can about them.

      i am out of my leaque , not skilled enough
      i got an far fetched assumption , i think this is japanese , the round catouches an form of ogee , but not alone ogee but also decapitated ruyi form

      what is a ruyi =Ruyi literally means, “as you wish” in Chinese. The shape of a scepter is said to carry religious significance as a reminder of a lotus, the sacred flower in Buddhism. Some other scholars attribute its origin to the backscratcher in ancient China. The head of a scepter is usually an imitation of a lingzhi fugus, a traditional symbol of longevity in China. Ruyi scepters were often given as gifts because of the auspicious meanings they implied and were displayed either horizontally on stands or vertically in vases.

      why does,not it look as a chinese decapited ruyi ( an french lily or heart design).

      Well this is the japanese equivalent called NYOI, can,t date i think it is old duck design ( not oshidori ) piece is complety in balance no overflow in the enameling , good piece , i think it,is old , but lack the skills
