Photos 2 & 4 is the truest color as i tried different lighting to fool aroud with this dresser-set--
A Perfume with an old metal top, might be silver.
A lid and powder jar, Ladies nouveau heads like the other pieces , but sides are nouveau butterflys,
The pin tray has same variety heads as seen. The inside of powerjar, darkish with a couple darker spots, size of a seed pearl and look like burns?
The whole set needs cleaning but I need a pro to handle that. The bottoms all say"PHILMA"--The perfume 1910, and the rest 1906
They are light weight not like pottery--like fine porcelain, but the underside of the poweder lid looks like pate de verre. So I am really confused.
Today my daughter and I are going downtown to "antique row" to get more info. This needs to be seen under a glass by someone who can identify it--and most of all it needs to be held and fingers run over it.
It is totally possible with out either advantage, someone here--can save us the trip. For absolute--it is an antique set. The perfume with the "metal" top looking into the opening, is sooooo old--and the inside of the powder jar, is freaking old too. Well--- help if you can.
I took more photos, but have no room----Hugs.
Oh his is sweet, my daughter Linda asks if I will please save this for her, as a keepsake when I "pass" and of this house-load--it is the only-thing she dearly loves ( she just came over here to Collectors Weekly and saw the set, minutes ago and picking it up tomorrow-)-I told her to. I am So happy somebody loves something in all this stuff!! We both are ga-ga over art nouveau and she has a big wood cabinet with display glass, etc. I don't--so it will keep safe.
I am on my way out the door to antiques row right now. If I learn anything, I'll let you know. I see no-one here has a clue either. I am somewhat surprised about that.
They are not Wedgwood .... perhaps Continental ... and the perfume may actually be a candlestick. No marks on the silver ???
I have seen a WEBB (English Vase) that is close as I can come to what I have--The folks I saw today called it "Contenantal" just like you did. Because it is unmarked, and they call it rare...it will take some time to get on the "right page" with the set. There are buyers in Antique Row-( they love it)-but tomorrow, I give this to my daughter.
Good work vetralio50!!!
I wish someone could actually I.D. this... Please
