Yes, that is definitely a possibility. I don't know quite why but they seem "continental"! They are a little bit crudely done, I can't decide...
These are two very small hand painted porcelain handles, looking to me to be in the Dresden style. I think they were made for pastry forks. They...
Newish but nice, I think, not a bummer unless you were hoping for a profit. Good for use as a flower vase, perhaps.
Actually I recently joined that group and have already tried them! I got only one suggestion for a factory, Reid of Musselburgh in Scotland,...
I misremembered I misremembered, Berthoud has the date as circa 1825. The teapot he pictures would have been dated by the style, which he calls...
I know that applies to some factories, but I can see that these are by different hands, due to differences in the shapes of the leaves etc. Not...
I've had these bowls for a long while, and still haven't found out who made them. They have a crisply potted basketweave pattern, nice glaze, and...

If yours are also cigarette holders they are probably more valuable than egg cups too! If they are too big and deep for eggs, like mine, that...
If there were matches in the saucer they would have had to be struck on something, and I think this was from the era of fancy table lighters, so I...
I've managed to find a Cambridge glass cigarette holder for sale online, looking deceptively like a ruby wine glass with turned up base. Not much...
I had never heard of a glass cigarette holder, but there are several in that link with etched glasses and saucer bases a bit like this. Do you...
I'm hoping someone will have seen one of these before, because I have been searching for months and can't find anything quite like it. It looks...
While researching these I found almost all ruby glasses seem to have clear stems, the only ones I could find with a ruby stem came from Italy,...
The bowl and stem could well have been made separately, although the one with the darker red circle on the base also has a darker colour at the...
Thanks for comment! I think the orange tint may be my digital camera's idea of improving on reality, the last photo, of the base, is the closest...
