    Lucky stiff. Saw some today when I was in an antique store selling them a trunk full of stuff. Didn't even ask.(LOL)

    It wasn't in my wheelhouse either, but when I applied my 35% discount it got closer.

    I went crazy with the 25% off sale because I could add my 25% + 10%, So here are two Kosta Boda candlesticks by K. Engman:

    I stopped buying seashells and coral on the primary market years ago after I found out how they were harvested. This 11 inch long bowl coral being on the secondary market was already picked years ago

    And finally, a modern group of Crystal Clear perfume bottles and tray.

It was framed by a known and respected company (as far as I know) I think it framing would have cost quite a amount. I also feel I have see the image before (but can’t place it) Any ideas? The print is 69x52cm.

    Looks like the crowning of Queen Hadassah/Esther - I went looking, and my first impression matches with the artist's background. He painted Jewish "stuff".

    Well, I was cleaning out my baking cabinet and found 30 pieces of my uncle's Navy fouled anchor Kings pattern silverplate. Merry Christmas to me!

    I think your silver heart is Hot Diamonds.

    The silver and blue is at the least NA in style. Bear paw. Nice Blue John.

    @johnnycb09

    It will probably turn up. I drop things all the time now and most show up after searching like you did.
    Very nice finds.
