Actually I think I stumbled upon the answer. Pretty sure it is a fireworks box lid or some sort of fireworks related advertisement. "embossed...
I haven't come across anything like this. My best guess is hand colored wood block print from China. I say China because it has China in large...
Ok, that makes sense then. So it is more of a decorative item. It is kind of cool. Thanks everyone.
Ok, Hollyblue. I pulled the feather and it does come out. I was afraid to try that earlier. Would the ink have gone in the shallow indented area...
This likely isn't an antique in the true sense, but then I know nothing at all about it in general. I'm not sure if it is just decorative, if...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] I am hoping someone can tell me a little about this glass bowl. It measures around around 8.75" by 8" and is around...
Thanks so much everyone. That was so interesting to watch the discussion evolve. I got off on cheese drainer/molds which looked promising for a...
I was able to find out where this vase is from and when it was made and a have a general idea of what it is, but if someone can help me with any...
I am hoping someone can tell me kind (species) of animals these are. They look like some of the teak animals from Scandinavia, but they aren't...

Hi, I am pretty sure this isn't a Pier One reproduction, though some of that stuff has fooled me before. It stands around 14 inches tall and is...
Thanks so much for the lesson. I'm finding it's either a love it or hate it piece. I kind of see it as an ugly curiosity.
Gosh everyone, now I am even more confused. So the vase itself is poured and the decorations applied? Would that make it slipware? Also, the...
Thanks, I just added the next picture in line without looking closely. I thought crystalline glaze but this is flat and not shiny so I wasn't sure.
Sorry for the silly description but I guess simple works when there is nothing else. The "popcorn" effect on the top has no texture but the...
I was wondering about the age. I see a lot of metalware that has residue from polish and I usually assume that it is as likely to make something...
Thank you everyone. It is an interesting piece. I am having fun showing it around and watching reactions when people see the different animals....
Thank you everyone. My lacking research skills led me to think they are older as John Brassey indicated, but they are in such pristine condition...
Thank you komokwa, I think if they had been full sized I would have passed on them. Interesting to gain a bit of knowledge on another subject and...
