Definitely a modern copy, Christophe. And I am sure you yourself can make a much better one!

| Christophe, the "signature" appears to be an attempt to write Mitsuhiro... but it's not really even a good effort. Same with the "seal", which reads left to right. |

This would therefore, a copy of Mitsuhiro Ohara, born in Osaka (1810-1875)

I do not understand why the copyist would have done much work, I recall that the bird is moving!

| I'm not sure that Mitsuhiro (1810-1875) ever carved the subject of a chick emerging from an egg, although he did carve a dragon emerging. Even if he had carved the chick-egg subject, it would be overly generous to refer to one of these 20th century products as a "copy"... the craftsmanship is utterly inferior to anything considered to be the work of the 19th century carver. |

Pieces exactly like this are carved in dozens and sold on eBay every now and then. Apparently not that much work for some for the $50-100 they charge for it.

I seem to remember that one of the contemporary Russian carvers recently carved a bird and egg. Or was it Cornel Schneider? I forget, but perhaps you know who it was, Vlad. If so, perhaps Christophe might be like to see a photo, just to compare the fine work in that with this crude carving.

Yes Freda, I think you are refering to the following works of Oleg Doroshrenko from Ukraine. The "Bird on a pear" is 52 mm (2 1/8") tall... Mammoth ivory, mother of pearl, gagat.
