Nice finds on these! That Kralik one above does look similar. :) Must have been a great estate sale. I really like the blue one you got, what a...
Wondering if there is any chance for clearer photos of the marks? Just thinking might help someone better get to the bottom of this. :)
What a great piece. :)
Orange/red leather on the back, these look to have some high end construction. No reason to believe these are not by the maker on the label, IMO.
Nice finds, all. Very cool on the Rosary, Ruth! Score!
Not normally my style lamp, but I think would find a buyer. That the entire piece is red is pretty cool and is going to be of interest to someone...
Thank you, Holly! :)
Any ideas on what kind of stone the pink one is? Some kind of agate? (I hope I didn't ask about this already.... have a vague memory I might...

Ah, didn't realize there was another response here. Thank you @J Dagger I'll take another look!
Remember back when an "Occupied Japan" mark could increase an item 5-10 fold? As stated, interest has fallen off. When I run into the mark...
Can't help with date, but love the texture on this. Nice find!
Beautiful fix on the box! Well done. So far my absolute favorite the Japanese Meiji flower spoon with the roots coming out into the bowl --- wow.
There is a little verdigris showing on the gold colored part (esp in photo #3) which may suggest brass, but verdigris can always spread off of...
Agree with all the comments so far. First thought was homemade. And doubled that thought when I saw the bottom, unfinished. Tripled when I saw...
