Definitely not English. It doesn't want to be French either. Scandi maybe?
:p:p:p
They have an opalite glass look to them too - to throw another word out. Opalite glass was used to make faux pearls quite often.
They go back far enough to have made Deco Jewelry. 1860-something if the Web can be trusted. Mens' jewelry originally.
It looks like it's missing a piece rather than actually broken. Then again with pot metal it might be a lost cause.
Pap boats are actually not the worst thing to find; they kept someone alive. Bedpans not so much. :yuck: My find of the day was surprisingly in...
Givre or sabrina glass beads, looks like. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a pearl paint coating on them at first and it wore or cracked off...

It happens - usually the only way I buy it.(LOL)
IOW, Stevie Wonder in translation. (LOL)
If it were a Boucher I'd expect better markings. THeirs were generally totally legible, especially on pieces from this era. You had a tussle on...
I can see some very blurry marks on the bail and something at about 3 o'clock. The French often use bitty marks, so there may be a 750 and other...
Separate names with a comma.
