Thanks, I will have to search online for a silver one this shape, to see a prototype. I hadn't thought of that!
Thank you, actually the answer I was hoping for! I have several glass salts from that time, beautifully cut and worth very little, too many have...
P.S. I think the odd corner is something put on to correct a glaze fault, I can't find a break underneath.
This is a little item from a blue and white job lot. It is about 3.8ins at its widest. At first sight I thought it was an eye bath, but the...
Strange combination of characteristics, fascinating! The butterflies and leaves look a bit like an early Victorian Staffordshire production,...
I hope it's a maker's mark, it's a bit elaborate for a decorator, and there are various marks like suns or wheels which are along the same lines,...
Sorry, I didn't realise the term needed translation! We British call "tins" the metal containers the Americans call "cans", so for us there is no...

A few years ago I fell for a little job lot of diverse drinks glasses, but regretted it, since they didn't seem as old as I first thought, so put...
The slot is about 1.8cms by 0.9 cms, it would have to be a very tiny lighter, but a long one or it would fall down inside the dog, which is about...
Thanks for all this, I had a fixed idea about the slot being for a spoon which I now think is wrong, used matches, razorblades or toothpicks all...
