  1. link to the first post below. https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/295884-blue-and-white-tripod-vase
  2. They are quick alright. We were in LA in 96 waiting for a shuttle to take us to D Land and one zipped in had a look at a couple of bushes and zipped away again. Her Indoors asked if I got a photo, my ...
  3. he's really cute! :)
  4. have a look here and you will be able to interpret the hallmarks https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/index.htm
  5. amazingly I just found the twin for this on Shawnl86's page! This one is in the USA. https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/190239-kralik-corded-large-opal-vase
  6. your plant matches the decor well! :)
  7. Mr Jingles is saying isn't my tummy cute, but if you touch it you loose your hand :)
  8. Hi John, thanks for the identification and the links. The last one will make some interesting reading.
  9. like this one! https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/294923-made-in-japan
  10. no problem, your posts have been helpful in identifying pieces I have :)
  11. House of Harlow.
  12. could be WMF Germany who have been around since the mid 19th century. Probably where silver plated.
  13. Neat tool! RobH link got me interested in finding out what it did, after a bit of Googling and looking at various pages it looks like they were used for finishing of the loop on aircraft control cables.
  14. If it is uranium glass it will react to UV light, you can get UV torches and lamps but introducing sunlight that has lots of UV can make it glow in the right conditions, best at sunset where the visib...
  15. Have you checked if the green glass is uranium?
  16. Your garden seems to be in full spring mode!!!
  17. Such a stylish Panda!
  18. beautiful!
  19. I posted one a couple of years back with the same pattern on the inner part of the bowl. https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/312642-barbini-murano-glass-bowl
  20. By the looks probably a new Chinese piece.
  21. Great find, thankfully that wonderful frog missed a date with the scrap metal dealer. There is also extra detail in the top grill and it''s nice how it goes all the way down to where the vase expands ...
  22. Wonderful piece!! Love the colour and even the little feet appear to be unblemished.
  23. Not sure what it means in the US but here a Hospice is for people on their last days/terminal illness a bright cosy place but with all the medical care too. The Hospice shop is a fundraiser for the ...
  24. that is cool, looks better built that some full size cars :)
  25. very satisfying when you manage to do that ????
  26. Hi Marin, is there a hallmark on the silver caps? You may remember I showed a pair of 4 sided ones 3 years ago, only one had the silver top and only the assay office (London) and year (1903) where rea...
  27. I was wondering if maybe the missing piece on the side was a thermometer as for accuracy changes in temperature could upset the clock, the pendulem length would change. I googled the maker to find ...
  28. https://www.flipclockfans.com/forum/articles/25787-the-rise-and-fall-of-the-seth-thomas-clock-company
  29. there is a company called "MEL LIVING Nordic Lifestyle" maybe Cosat Boda made them for them.
  30. Is the darker piece glass?
  31. We also have them here in NZ, very good mimics! We had one in our garden that used to make sounds like a telephone ring, very confusing at times :)
  32. Beautiful clock. Have you tried holding the weight up a little to take the strain off the mechanism when you wind it? Not too much as you don't want the wires to tangle. My grandfather clock was bu...
  33. wonderful job you have done there, it wasn't looking good in the first 2 pickys :)
  34. Not in the same shop!!! :) :)
  35. Thanks for looking and your comments Kevin. I remeber seeing one of the Chinese factories on the TV a few years ago when they have Chinese New Year and all the young workers from the countryside get ...
  36. Fabulous colour! You have some really neat shops around where you live Marin I'm quite jealous :)
  37. yip there is one or two heavy pieces of glass I can use for that purpose around here Kevin!!! :) :)
  38. Now where have I seen one of those before? :)
  39. Fabulous vase!!
  40. Yes I think Kevin has the right pick Chester assay house, Deakin & Francis, 1908.
  41. The shape reminds me of the taxis in 5th Element. Maybe one of the designers had one once.
  42. It is silver. check out the link below. https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/
  43. agree with Dave, patina is good!
  44. Doing some more image searches with the pictures I took yesterday I came across one for sale on Yahoo Japan but the seller didn't know anything about it.
  45. Hi Marin thanks for the lead! This one came up with a "Rindskopf vase" search on google and looks very similar colours. https://rariora.com/shop/glass/rindskopf-vase-opalglas-pulled-oxblood-10-1-2/
  46. Very nice..... wish there was someone who made the frogs I'm missing a few too.
  47. magnificent!
  48. That is a great find!
  49. The imps are beautiful and I love the colour of the lamp, looks like it is on fire.
  50. Great find Marin!
