  1. I have a pair of Pandora earrings that match the ones that have silver/metal around the stone. Have you looked at them with a loupe to see if there are any makers marks?
  2. @kivatinitz I have joined the FB group for Mason's, only problem is they don't have a way to search for specifics, especially marks. I appreciate your help, and am eager for any additional ideas you o...
  3. @kivatinitz, I had no idea they could or would recategorize your post! I apologize for the correction, and I agree with your explanation and point of view.
  4. @Kivatinitz Thanks for your response, I will check your other reply, too. Cheers! Mae
  5. While lovely, and possibly made at the end of 19th/first decades of the 20th century, this piece has NONE of the style or design elements associated with art deco. ***just for reference for those ...
  6. To any who may be following this mystery, @potaholic123 gave me dimensions to determine whether the piece is Copeland or Minton. The size can't lie! It's Minton!! Also, he told me that this likely had...
  7. Contact Nick Del Matto. It looks a bit like his work, and if it's not, he's a very cool and friendly guy who likely can i.d. this for you.
  8. I would be inclined to agree with your attribution. I have a piece of Meissen with the Pfeiffer point mark which dates it to either 1924-34 or 26-36. Either way, the painting is so similar, I wouldn't...
  9. Oh! I need to check my inbox! I can't thank you enough for your help, when I get a chance to measure the piece's relevant parts, I will post back here. Can't wait to get the specs!!
  10. @potaholic123 THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I am aware of the Copeland ewer in this shape, (yup, the great exhibition) but Minton ALSO used this shape too. The Met has an example designed by Christopher Dress...
  11. Turns out he is a Chinese, boxwood, 1885-1915 ivory teeth and glass eyes budhai/buddha. The cracks are typical and best dealt with by deep injected application of linseed or coconut oil. It doesn't fi...
  12. @apostata is asking if they may be considered to be the teeth of a large mammal with a trunk. Shreger lines apply in all *ecru* *off white* pieces of natural, biologically mammalian tuscs. We must...
  13. Thanks very much @apostata . I think I'm having a hard time with the terminology you are familiar with. I'm just not that educated in the subject. Anyone who can explain it to me is welcome to ad...
  14. I'm trying to identify the type of woods used in these pieces. Does anyone know about this?
  15. Dang, I wish the original "solved" post and link were still visible.
  16. Wish all the original photos were up.
  17. Is this the gravy boat you want? Poop!! How do I add photos to my reply?
  18. @ apostata, could you elaborate on your ideas? I am not familiar with the terms you used and I'd like to look into them, please? I appreciate your help!
  19. Thank you, dav2no1! I had not come across that link.
  20. Agree. None of the images are properly viewable. forget about the "true to color" issue, and adjust the exposure so we can see what you have.
  21. Feel pretty safe in saying this is a 20th century Chinese cloisonne vase made of brass and stone powders. Any damage seriously impacts value, but in good shape, they can be collectible and dependi...
  22. @Tallcakes, I think you are right, but I don't know if I'm being stupid to use them or what!! Appreciate your help, friend!
  23. Also, @truthordare there is no country indicated on the piece or mark. So, I have to think that its earlier, no?
  24. Actually, after closer inspection, I believe it IS an Orrefors. The Godinger bowl doesn't have the same kind of pedestal foot. This is a Thousand Windows piece, regardless of whether you have a signat...
  25. Its either an Orrefors "thousand windows (?)" Or the Godinger Shannon crystal knock off, of which I don't know the pattern or name. If you know Orrefors, you'll have already checked the foot for the...
  26. Well, I'm 5 years late to the party, but tha k you SO MUCH for this post. You've helped me solve a very old mystery. My deepest appreciation, sir.
  27. Thank you @truthordare !! I looked at the Wilkinson marks and I didn't see one that matches, but it is probably because you know something I don't. I can't tell you how much it means, I've been all ...
  28. Hey, I know I'm late to the party but can anyone tell me what the shape of his vases is called? Thanks very much for your help.
  29. Looks like unmarked Masons or any of the Stoke on Trent or Staffordshire pottery makers. This could include Minton, Adam's or ?? Many more. Good luck, and I would try to match the pattern since you do...
  30. Looks like very fine old Deruta majolica. I would definitely have it appraised. Cheers! And good luck!
  31. Its difficult with a photo, but have you considered parian ware? If it has a slightly rough feel to the uncolored body, and some translucense to it, it may be. Look closely at the rim of the foot and ...
  32. I tried rosette, quatrefoil, cruciform, clover...but I sure appreciate the thought, and if you think of something else, i am all ears.
  33. It looks like a tonsured (shaved spot on top of head) monk, but with the robes being gilded and the fact he's holding a book I am betting on a saint, like Benedict, Stephen, Philip or Augustine, (ther...
  34. I have these exact bookends, also. I have no idea how old they are, because I grew up with them on the mantle. There's a strong chance they were purchased in San Francisco (Chinatown) in the '70s. I h...
  35. I now think it's a Parian ware ewer, and I should have used the term moriage to describe the slip work. But I still have no idea what it is, where it's from or how old. Any help is appreciated. Thank...
  36. Oh!! Also check Bitossi (sp?) For a maker. I agree 100% that the glaze and hand style look Italian.
  37. That's not a frog, it's a pansy vase. I have a couple that are vintage Carmel (hand marked) pierced pottery in almost the exact same shape, and various colors. If I'm not able to add a photo, the only...
  38. @beckessa if you can point me in the direction of the Blenko catalog you found, I would love to see it. Thanks!!
  39. https://photos.app.goo.gl/dxN1zdJyxrQsdRSb6 I found this piece for sale and still have no idea of the maker. Simon Pearce was not the listing that pulled up, and also its not a "Simon Pearce-y" sty...
  40. Yup, Federal glass. Congrats!
  41. I have a pair of Windsors very like these, but with much more modern lines, mid-century style, straight and no nod to antique curves with the exception of the thumb holes at the top, like yours. I don...
  42. Thanks fortapache , Aura and AdeleC for the loves. I'm still looking/waiting to find out what this is! Any help is welcome.
  43. Rustic provençal french would be my first guess. Do the knobs go through the front of the drawer, or are they applied/pegged & glued to the front? Meaning is there any sign of the knobs from the insid...
  44. Those definitely ARE Windsor chairs, with "bamboo" style spindles and legs, saddle shaped seat, and unusual carved top/side elements. As for age, it's difficult to say, a general rule is that more spi...
  45. See more
