Nice find - that one is a bit larger, and a much finer carving... Oh my, she is just too cute! Does she talk a lot? My friend and her sis...
Surely that's a real dog, Bronwen! Hard to tell what the carver intended, could be either - will say I've fallen in love with every Frenchie I've...
Catalin... ~Cheryl
The egg is most likely a thimble case, and I see Schreger lines on my screen, so it looks like ivory to me - not particularly well carved, but...
My little Cherokee bear (unfortunately packed away like so much of my stuff) is just like the one on the right on the link below, how cute are...
Feel sure Bronwen was referring to Glenn and Hope Brown's son Hoyt, who is also a carver. Might keep an eye out for Cherokee carvings from the...
Oops, I misread the description - the goose was carved by Glenn, but the 'large bird' was actually carved by Hope. There were a lot of carvers...

I'd guess a fairly well done metal-crafts piece with a somewhat carelessly applied patina, done by either a camper or instructor - but would also...
More likely a wine/punch bowl, looks Bohemian/Czech... ~Cheryl
Truthfully, saw more overflowing ashtrays in later decades than during my childhood in the '60s, when our table was set with silly little...
Though I haven't seen one with that angled design, believe it is, as already suggested, a combination cigarette cup and ashtray, mid 20th century...
A circa 1880 Philadelphia wholesaler's catalog showing a somewhat similar set: [ATTACH] ~Cheryl
Circa 1880s, missing the drop and likely rolled gold, though they were also made in gold plate and solid gold - usually sold in a set with...
The poster who believes it's some kind of so far unsubstantiated 'jeweler's metal' is very knowledgeable on old Russian silver, but is like a dog...
Isn't the one listed on eBAy the same one? Seems to have the same scratches underneath the mark as on the OP's item... ~Cheryl
Heh, I have a folder full of Harlequin stuff, that 1980 ad is the latest one I have... ~Cheryl
