It's cool. Maybe someone will recognize the artist, lack of signature makes things difficult, though. Small tip. If you are sending these...
To echo what others have said, I think it is newer, agree with post 50's, and the carving is a bit simple, not so fine, and like others, curious...
Can't help with stone orientation, but it is pretty. Did you test for gold?
I think in my earlier post I should has said I didn't see any with "wood grain" Formica. I guess I think of all wood-grain laminate on furniture...
Good point, Mansons! :)
Yes, I think you could get away with saying "Jens Risom style". I too looked around at Jens Risom pieces. Also did not see any with Formica....

That's probably your best bet. Anything 10K or better will be worth knowing about. Hope you have good luck with it.
Instead of starting another thread and not to hijack my own post but came across this hidden in the back of the drawer the rest of this stuff came...
1973. It's good info to have, though. I always wondered when they started writing that warning on the bottom. Even though this piece may be long...
I think these Art Nouveau caskets used to be more popular and sell for more money a few years back. Value has fallen. Still think they are...
Thank you, welcome!
So glad it was still there! Yay!
