They are in very good condition as noted. The experts at Oriental Heritage (Int’l Asian Art Dealers) told us these are Japanese copies of Chinese porcelains. I used “Google Images” and the AI descriptions describe them as Chinese because of the designs, but I do believe the experts are correct about them being created in Japan to fill the demand for Chinese porcelains which were very popular in America and Europe at that time. They were owned by a Chinese Antique dealer, and the inner rim on one (unseen under the cap) has a small repair as shown (see last 3 photos for closeups). These are both 5.5" tall x 4" wide and weigh 15 oz each. They each have a painted lid, inner white lid with pine cone accent / grip and a rimmed base. The bottoms have a small amount of tag residue. I have included two matching carved rosewood stands. See less
