Subject:Large Shadow Boxes of Great Wall Hong Kong Harbor Stork
Posted By: Dale Tue, Jul 18, 2017 IP: 198.166.248.109 I bought some large Chinese shadow boxes that I would like to get some more information on. They were from a restaurant in Hong Kong in the 70s I was told. I don't read Chinese so a translation would be nice. There is writing on the glass and on the picture and also a stamp as well. A value estimation would be appreciated as well Thanks |

Posted By: DALE Thu, Jul 20, 2017 Thank you. I was thinking the value would be in the collectibles market if these were unique as shadow boxes. So you are suggesting they are not that rare and not that collectible and not that valuable? An estimated value anyone? |

Posted By: rat Wed, Jul 19, 2017 the inscriptions in red indicate that these were presented to the "Drunken Red(-faced) Chaozhou Restaurant", likely when it was opened, by various well-wishers, including one other restaurant, a couple, and various individuals. |

Posted By: DALE Fri, Jul 21, 2017 Thanks for your reply. I have another picture of an eagle that the glass got broken. So I can replace the glass and not really be losing value for that picture without the writing. |

Posted By: DALE Fri, Jul 21, 2017 Thanks Rat for the information and translation. I checked out the Guilin/Yangshuo and see the similarities in the picture. Looks very scenic and a nice place to visit as I imagine a lot of tourist would go there. The picture looked like a harbor and Hong Kong harbor came to my mind but I think you are definitely right that it is a picture based on the Guilin/Yangshuo area. |
