Ok, so I have a bunch of unique items--those one-of-a-kind things you need for your home, to surprise the missus, or to give as a gift! I realize this isn't for everyone, but I figured I'd see if there's anyone out here interested 
First "I'll take it" followed by PM or email gets it. If you like something but think I'm off in my pricing, make me an offer--I'm generally never offended by offers (unless you are offering to call me names). Please, however, keep any offers comments, questions, or jokes private and out of the thread. Always happy to provide more info if needed.
Prices include shipping. PMO accepted, Paypal preferred--happy to accept "gift option" but will eat the fees if you prefer (and I completely understand why you might--absolutely no hard feelings if that's the case).
Happy to ship abroad if someone wants it and doesn't mind picking up shipping and all risk (must use paypal gift).
Check out my other gear thread and Bussekin thread for other great deals!

CHINESE ANTINQUES:
With the exception of the Ming bowl and the ceramic saucers, all of these articles appear to have been daily use items--all have scratches, chips, and/or repairs. All of these are genuine to the best of my knowlege. I spent quite a bit of time with antique dealers and other collectors overseas. I paid my "tuition" on a lot of fake items, which I am selling locally cheap. These are not perfect specimens and the price reflects that. Mostly, these are just cool items of historical value.
-- First up is a large late Qing (100+ years old) teapot with a family riding a Qiling (a type of mythical creature) motif and a "Shuang Xi" or "Double Happiness" motif, often used in wedding gifts. Based on the style of the faces, I'd guess this to be from the Tongzhi period (1862-1875). Famille rose (fencai) color scheme with rare color palate; has a repaired spout and chipped rim.
-- Next is a small late Qing (100+ years old) teapot with a "Shuang Xi" or "Double Happiness" motif. Also a famille rose (fencai) color scheme in more familiar colors. Has a chipped rim.
-- Third is a Ming Dynasty (late Ming) bowl. No major flaws that I can find. Just a beautiful example of daily ware Ming Dynasty porcelain. Unknown kiln or family mark on the unglazed bottom. The bowl has cracks in the glaze, likely from the kiln firing process and was likely a burial item (some clay or other earthen material hardened to part of the bowl).
-- Next is a blue and white plate that appears to be from the roughly the Emperor Jiaqing era (1796-1820).The plate is decorated with a stylized chrysanthemum motif and has a kiln mark on the obverse.
-- Fifth is a Celadon plate with a goldfish design that I would guess is very late Qing, early Republican era (1900-1930). The mark on the obverse translates "China Celadon" and probably indicates it was made for export to Southeast Asian countries.
-- Finally is a set of two Qing Dynasty saucers (no clue how old, but given the glaze cracking and discoloration pattern, I'd say it's well over 125 years old). Originally part of a "Four Seasons" set, these represent winter and autumn. Great condition. Comes with custom storage box.
HOUSEWARES:
-- A unique Chinese sculpture. A Chinese landscape scene carved from a single stone. Asking $50 shipped (it is heavy!)
-- Next a pair of beautiful modern Chinese vases. These are replica Qing Dynasty Emperor Guangxu period pieces. Come with custom-made storage box.
--A small set of Saudi hand-blown glass perfume bottles. Purchased in Saudi at some point years ago...2004 maybe? Any rate, they are beautiful and would make a great gift for your wife, girlfriend or maybe mom?
--Finally, two Thai silk textiles. Both are reversible. Both are about the size of tablecloths--one is huge (about 10-12' long) the other is about 8'. I can get proper measurements if interested. The yellow one has a couple of natural darker fibers in it.
