Is it just me, or does the second Chinese one look like a box of Christmas "ribbon candy"?
That's what I'd wonder too. Someone found the carcass and added an interior to make it usable.
Maybe they're the ones that hauled off all of the 20s filigree and 40s Victory pins that I can't find any more.
SCORE! All I found today were some cookies courtesy of a drug store chain - they treated.
^5 to Finnish silversmiths. Those are pretty.
Never a bad idea. True vintage glitzy Schreiner pieces that fall into that Gaudy category can sell for more than precious metal. Something...
Sure beats that Paperazzi garbage I've been finding. Some people actually think it's worth money "because it's new on card." I keep walking.
Beat me to it; I recognized the style and the clasp right off. J Crew has been making vintage-inspired pieces for a few years now.
Pure folk art. I'm happy your friend is holding onto that; I would too.
Definitely costume, but pretty. No idea who four stars is.
Welcome fellow old stuff addict! If you're not, you will be if you hang out with this lot.
Same here. I bet it cooks fine the way it is, but someone broke the lid from one and the base of the other and put them together.
At five bucks each, that would be stealing if there was any re-selling them.
The swords look printed instead of hand-painted; that alone would make me dubious.
Somebody was asleep at the switch. I love when that happens.
Carved ivory? Couldn't ship it here unless out of the frame, and the frame is the good part. Best if it goes elsewhere.
It could even be Russian jade. I'd wear that too. It may have been a custom piece or done by a small firm at the back end of nowhere.
The givre bracelet showed up for a whole dollar on Thursday. The rest is from an estate sale Friday morning. Sterling spoons and a silver handle...
May well.
Definitely unusual.
