Wood figure on marble base. What era? (1910-20's Italian souvenir??) I'm sure this is "after" some famous scene, but have no idea what. This...
My vote is also Boucher. This looks too heavy and well made for Lisner. Also Boucher pieces sometimes have numbers on the back like this one.
Yes, something like that for sure. Almost certain that puff is original to the piece. What an interesting compact! My first thought was that...
You might look into "caricature carvers", too. The features are exaggerated and I think would fall into that category.
There is a ton of work in it. Even has floor planks. It's pretty impressive and must have taken a while to make this. I agree with the "Folk...
Looking around briefly, this company rents (!) these -- and they call them the "Eiffel Tower Vase", too....
My feeling is that this is costume, but photos are a bit hard to make out. On the close-up of the clasp, if that pearl is GLUED in (not "set") it...
Just seeing those with the $2.99-$4.99 tags... I can only imagine your instantaneous reaction. How fun to find those.
Here are a few close up photos of the handles. Now thinking some natural material as suggested. They are just very light weight and polished...

I fell for it hook, line and sinker. Was not expecting the ending at all! Great!
This reminded me of a Perthshire paperweight I sold once. Was pretty sure I asked about it here first and sure enough:...
This reminds me of the kind of piece @Dessert58 might know about. Others here are knowledgeable too. People are on different time zones, so...
Thank you Bakers, MOS and Holly. :) I can try for more close ups of the handles tomorrow when the outdoor light returns!
Thank you for taking a look, Bakers. :)
Questions about two spoons. Pretty sure these are 19C. Here they both are, but I'm going to post in separate threads. Curious about age, maker,...

That's it! Thank you @2manybooks
