    Two tiny antique asian pieces that we've had for about forty years. One is a case with a flower pattern. Nothing printed on it anywhere. The box feels metal and depicts a bird, and a dragon repeated. There is a stamp on the bottom. I listed a picture. If anyone knows what it says please let me know.

      Nice Chinese cloisonne items, thanks for posting them. The mark is the 1949 and onward People's Republic of China mark, when the Communist regime with Mao was established.

      The one symbol that matters the most is the top right one. A Chinese script mark is read from the top right down the column, and then moved to the top left down the column. I'm explaining this for others who might want to know as well.
