I really like the table by the way! I have a few large French farmhouse tables and, though the details are different, the rustic construction...
Obviously the OP is confusing the period of the table with the style. You've given a great explanation of what Baroque means as applied to objects...
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on this. This is a good explanation for why I've found so many pieces that look 1920s - 1930s to my...
Hi! Just a quick question about a small mystery (to me anyway) on a piece of French Art Deco earthenware/ironstone. It's a stencil painted...
Thank you :happy: I've done that now. And the stopper doesn't screw into the base... it has some ridged rings on it though, possibly for a...
Thanks for your comment :shame: Yes it could be a stoppered jar (but for what I wonder? It's so tiny!) But I think Blenko is more art glass (which...
Thank you pearlsnblume ! Yes, very reminiscent of the bubble stoppers from Pols Potton (if only it was one of those lol) But mine is definitely...
Yes probably more correct to say ink bottle in this case...but I'm no expert either ;)
Just a PS that I thought it might be 1970s stylistically....but then, why woukd one require an ink well? :bored::smuggrin:
Hello just a little cute glass bottle with a stopper picked up for 50c. I thought it was an ink well so just assumed it would be old-ish but...
Cute :) My vote would be Provencale too. And it would definitely be a children's toy rather than a salesman's demo, because this type of jug isn't...
Ah yes I see that under layer now! I think you are right there...I was just going on the washiness of the paint work which is not at all typical...
...and bear in mind also that these are called 'folk art' cabinets for a reason. Oftentimes it's not a very skilled person doing the painting,...
I'm no expert but it looks European to me...Google "Swedish folk art armoire", though there is a tradition in Bavaria and Northern France /...
An update on the the WR mark question - Yes it is a capacity mark. But no it isn't named for Queen Wictoria. An excerpt from a very thorough...
:playful: Hubert gets my vote! Funny thing... I was showing my Father in Law my tankard, since he likes a car boot sale as well as I do. He told...
Thanks so much! T & J Creswick it is ... makes much more sense that it's Sheffield given where we are. Thanks so much for your help on this, I'm...
Hello I have acquired this characterful but very well used silver plate tankard from a brocante sale in France. It's extremely worn, down to...
I don't know what it is or where it came from but I LOVE THAT WATER BUFFALO That is all.
Do update if you find it is hers ... a quick email to one of the auction houses (Webb's or Art + Object) might be the way to go.
