Greetings! I am researching for a friend who has a set of 3 (different heights) of these candlesticks (1 pictured). The one shown is maybe 18"...
Here's a closer look at the stones: [ATTACH]
I'm not, either, but I believe you are right! I found examples of Navajo using spiny oyster in jewelry, and it looks spot on.
This very plain mark is on the back of a sterling silver Bolo (String) Tie. I'm pretty sure this is of Navajo or Zuni origin, but I'd like to do...
I feel like I've seen this mark before (I KNOW I've recently had a SIMILAR - yet different - one), but I can't identify this one right now......
Thanx, Walter. I was aware that these terms are commonly - but wrongly - used interchangeably, but I don't know enough to tell which is what......
Thanx, Walter Del Pellegrino, for giving the "Best Answer"! Would it be proper to use the term "majolica" or "maiolica" for these?
I have a pair of these things. I could swear I had found them somewhere online within the past few weeks, but now I can't recall where or what....
Definitely good terms, these!
Yes, I've had a few pieces of Murano "latticino", and it is rather different than this...
Greetings! So, I know this is cased glass, but I am trying to recall whether there is some additional term for this particular style with the...
So, I see y'all been talking about me! Sorry to chime in so late; I;ve been otherwise occupied in recent weeks due to a death in the family......
This was described to me as a Punu mask from Gabon. Anyone here agree or disagree with that assessment? It measures approx. 14-1/4" H x 9" W x 7"...
Is that a "good thing"? The owner thinks it is pretty valuable, but I'm dubious... As you have "a few of these" - how do you characterize the value?
Thanx, that's what I am thinking.
Would y'all agree this is NOT solid silver?
OK, here's a detail of the marks. Those stamped marks are rather indistinct and incomplete - can anyone get anything certain from them? [ATTACH]
Yes, will have them up in a minute. Looking at it again reminded me of the less-obvious stamped marks there.
Okay, here's the latest mystery... Bowl is 5-3/16" diameter x 2-1/2" tall. The owner believes it is silver, but I think silver-plated brass, based...
Looks like a shoehorn to me, too - but the strap seems superfluous...
Separate names with a comma.
