    Nice finds, charlie. This type of brooch usually has real jade and coral, and this looks the real deal too.
    Not David Tennant imo, but another actor. Can't think who now, but I'm sure someone will recognize him.

    Agree with AJ that the brooch may be a very nice find if you paid a costume price. According to the orientation of the pin on the back, it was designed to go this way:

    I thought the painting was Frankenstein's monster in a suit.

    I would have called the blue stemware sundae glasses. I think of parfait glasses as being shaped more like champagne glasses, with a narrower, taller bowl.

    Brooch may not be gold, though, there were several UK companies who set coral and jade in costume settings, with that filigree too. I've got some (susprise. Not.) Worth testing though.

    Orange vases are Empoli. Blue sundaes fairly recent, I've forgotten who.

    That oxblood looking cylinder thing is old and Chinese.

    As an aside, last Sunday, nine carat gold studs. Two quid.

    I don't expect it is, although it is a thought to check. Like you, I have seen these as costume but with genuine jade and coral.

    yeah i will defo check...but wasn't why i bought, could tell it was jade so was hoping nice costume

    the materials (as in the jade mop and coral) made me think chinese (like those little bonsai tree ornaments)
