It is a detailed and hand painted, the age is from the 1700s. There are many antique Samurai Dolls, handcrafted in the 1890s. These antiques are worth some money but depending on if they have a letter of authenticity will determine how much they are worth.
Kitchen antiques are the way to see a true antique, there are Japanese Iron Teakettles that have a bronze lid, the time period is 1890. The shape of the teakettle is unlike the teakettles of today, these kettles are heavier and the Japanese believe that they are capturing the spirit of the moment as the share tea.
