Fill the wood glue joint so as you can get it. Use a brush or the edge of a sheet of paper to apply the glue in the crack as possible. Clamp together. Wipe any excess glue and let dry for 24 hours.

Who made my vintage Flower Bowl?

I have a plate of ceramic flower harvest, with the U.S. marked on the bottom. No mother in the U. The 'S' is slightly longer than the other letters. I do not think it's so old … Can anyone help?

I think it would be a McCoy. Not all of McCoy pottery McCoy said. Would be around 1940-1950s.

How can I tell if my fan is Japanese or Chinese? Is it real?

I recently bought a fan, still in the box, a thrift shop. The box itself has a label on the front and one on the face, but the characters are of oriental language. Therefore, I can not read them. Once fully open, the fan scene itself is 2-koi, or carp (I'm not sure which), and there is what appears to be a kind of mark stamped on it, with some characters written out to him. The scene is beautifully done, whether printed or painted. There are 19 ribs, including ribs wider at both ends, which appear to be bamboo, and are painted or varnished in dark precious. I can not say whether or not it is a real change craft room, or is simply souvenir execution-the-mill mass production. I wonder, whether or not it is authentic, and perhaps if it is, whether or not it is an antique. Thanks so much!

It would be worth taking it to a local Chinese or Japanese restaurant to see if people can not read the characters. Knowing the language, if and if real people should be targeted in one direction. Skip the largest library available and check to see if you can find photos from fans like yours. (Photocopy and any others that appear similar and the note book and author.) If there is a museum with a department of Asia as a city or a nearby city, you can ask a curator if he would willing to look at the pictures or the real fan to give you some suggestions. (You can talk about their research.) They may be willing (or can be predicted by the policy museum), but if that's the case, must be willing to point you in the direction of someone who knows about Asian fans.
