All I can say is that I love your posts, @BoudiccaJones. :) They always make me smile. You have a great way of describing things. Cheers.
It would be great if you could find it in that book. (Sometimes my library will inter-library loan such a book.) But no guarantee this...
Wow. I'm a big bead hound (in U.S.) and have never seen similar, maybe because they are a French style? I would say positively older, thinking...
Just what I was thinking! If these aren't some unusual modern design my guess would be late 19C. Curious what some of the glass friends will say!...
As for the pin and earrings set. Great find, too! I think buyers search Boucher, so that is going to be your main draw. Be sure to say "signed"...
Can't go wrong with Boucher. It is one of the most desirable costume designers. Their pieces are such high quality. Looking at similar...
What is the general consensus of quality of this piece? Thanks. (Mostly wondering if I should continue to research, or just try to sell for...

Got some fun cards at an estate sale. Both of these have figures that move when you open them. Planning to sell on Ebay. Is a keyword for these...
Helpful info as usual. Thank you everyone! :)
Wasn't sure what this was for and or whether it is missing a piece. Marked J.M.J and N.S. I assume N.S. is for "nickel silver". Is it a tea...
I bet these were sold and not hobbyist because the paint almost looks airbrushed and the two have matching patterns. Could be Japanese as Davey...
I saw that staining on the back of the canvas before he took it out of the frame and was also thinking it was a good sign as it seemed to show...
Is it possible that this is a high quality print rather than a watercolor? It seems like there is a white border on top (is that a mat or part of...
Sounds like a great purchase, congrats Lithographer! :) So this might be obvious to some, but does the paint going around the corner a bit on the...
