Attractive little box. I’ve got a Goebel (or one of those other mid tier German porcelain makers) bird that looks similar.
Came to say this.
It’s a great looking thing. Someone will be thrilled to have it in their home I’m sure. Interesting that they went through all the trouble of...
So what are the handles made of? Metal or gilt ceramic/porcelain? The base? I was on the side of late 20th from the start. Always hope I’m wrong...
What the heck! How did I not know about this site!? Strange that google couldn’t find a mention of CC Flanders. Thank you!
On first glance I’d assume these were American coin silver. Can’t find CC Flanders online and my book is packed away. Anyone know this silversmith...
Sounds very convincing and interesting to learn about this distinct form of weaving. In hand the piece tells of some age. As I see it, I’d...

I know trying to guess at turquoise mines is a fools errand but maybe country of origin can be hazarded? Maybe more, idk. Went to a sale with the...

Maybe just silver plated. Is the mark to the left of the EG an animal? Nice stick either way.
Love the ancient looking intaglio rings. I don’t know if they’re authentic or not but I get a huge kick out if very old jewelry. I’ve bought a few...
