Get that Bulgari ring checked out. That style is widely faked. Found a very convincing (non-precious) copy once, along with a fake Cartier Trinity band made of real 14k gold (something like 25 grams!) but with obviously bogus stamps.

If real you are looking at maybe a couple grand on it.

Mark: Zhongguo Zhi Zao - China Made. In this mark "Zhi Zao" is used which would rather translate as make-something new, to produce something out of raw material- while the more common "Zhi Zuo" could be translated as the more profane manufacture. On Chinese "Satsuma" copy basically "new", possible period (1970's-2000).

Does the watch run? Congrats on your finds. You did very well.

Watch runs, just over 5 grams of 14k wg. Still trying to find info on the vase and coach tote, has a big YKK zipper.

The Coach bag I would say is real. The vase is a more modern repoduction. Anything marked made in china is for export to U.S. market. The watch is a harder sell for retail as most women don't buy vintage watches in that style. The ring is interesting and should definitely be checked for authenticity. If real, it would be an awesome score.

Nice finds overall. Hope you do well with them. Keep us posted on what you find out and what they sell for.

Dig is spot on with the ID of the mark. I would think it has decorative value only.

Here's one with the same mark that's on sale on eBay
