Dear Suzume,
I am very thankful for your time and expert inputs, as always!!!
Now I know they are Qilin, and I am happy to know that they are known for being benevolent :) So sorry that I have not had time to clean them up before presenting them to our forum.
As you suggested, I test and they are non-magnetic, definitely not painted, and the underneath scratched areas look orange-gold - bronze.
I am very intrigued as for the meaning of the large writings and as for the process on how object like this was made then and now!
Again, many thanks Suzume !!!
Tony
