Thank you Any Jewelry! Kind of a fun piece as more details seem to show up the longer you look at it (at least for me). He seems to have a jug in...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I just picked up an etching that intrigued me simply because the artist is a mystery as its completely unsigned unfortunately....
Thank you! I believe the blue arrow here points directly at a critter/insect shape (it's head with the body following under) and thats what...
[IMG] Then there's this. "KIØBENHAVN" spelling was only used until latest 1906 so it must be from before that I assume.
