Asia

Where can I find information on a specific south Asian Antique?

I have a Ceramic Bowl with a lid that I would like to know the history of. It is Hand Painted, with pictures of what I consider to be really ugly, what I think to be chinese, men, with mean faces. The marking on the bottom is in a type of chinese or maybe japanese(or other south east asian) style of writing. Please help me figure out where this antique came from.

You need to repost the question with a photo of the bowl and the mark on the bottom. The reign mark should be simple to identify. The men are probably gods. I can probably tell you more when you repost.

Two Weeks Notice $3.87 You’d expect a cavalcade of cuteness from any pairing of Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant, but Two Weeks Notice admirably avoids the obvious. You get plenty of Bullock’s pratfalls and feisty sex appeal, and Grant’s snappy comebacks are never in short supply, but first-time writer-director Marc Lawrence (who wrote Bullock’s previous hit, Miss Congeniality) adds just enough antagonism to keep this…

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon $2.66 Hong Kong wuxia films, or martial arts fantasies, traditionally squeeze poor acting, slapstick humor, and silly story lines between elaborate fight scenes in which characters can literally fly. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has no shortage of breathtaking battles, but it also has the dramatic soul of a Greek tragedy and the sweep of an epic romance. This is the work of director Ang Lee, who fell …
