I have acquired this heavy ash tray. It has a ceramic body with images of exotic birds and an ornate brass surround. It is 17cm square. It has a mark on the base and I would appreciate any help in identifying its origin. Thank you.Ceramic Ashtray with Brass Surround- Chinese, Wong Lee copying William Lowe A110

This kind of craquelle porcelain items are being made since the 80's , in China and they are real frauds IMO.

This is an interesting discussion on the topic, comments worth to be read.

I may prove myself with screenshots that a "reputable" auction house in Romania put for sell a Wong Lee Piece as a William Lowe piece and i did upset them by sending comments . Sadly , they didn't withdraw that item.
