Salt glaze? Sure looks like it. Stonington CT wouldn't surprise me one bit.
That poor thing needs some help. I might just give it a nice waxing down and leave bad enough alone; it took it a while to get to that state, and...
Score one on that pendant! Somebody didn't do their homework. Love when that happens. I went to three tag sales and antique store today. It...
Now if only it had a Hebrew/Yiddish inscription inside; then I'd tell you go grab it and run. As it is, I don't know enough about pre-WWII Polish...
That looks like a score. Congrats!
Probably olivine or serpentine, first guess. It's sometimes called "new jade" but jade it ain't.
I've hung out with a few too many strange folk. When I see "set of drawers" I automatically have to think "no, not the drawers one stores in...
Oh well. I wasn't entirely sure; the fact that she has her nose ought to have tipped me off.(LOL)
I'd guess Homegoods or World Market or some such. It's nice to look at, but it's a yard sale piece if you're reselling.
A friend's nickname is Piggie. I'd have glommed them too.
I'd want to see the construction inside, and the back. It looks more modern than modernist.
The skeleton fits with the 13 charm. I think it's an anti-bad luck necklace. The horseshoe is upside down too.
It might be calcite too. Calcite comes in pink or can be dyed pink. It's far too soft of a stone to be jade.
If I lived out that way and was in the market ... dang that's tempting!
They were still making baby plates like this in the 20s and 30s. Pretty sweet find. I have a "slot" over my wall oven, created when we had to...
This Christian has notes all over her Bible. Goes with the turf. I guess Muslims take their notes in a notebook instead of marking up the margins.
I'm seriously late to this party, but that Vauxhall glass would have set me drooling too. It's hard to find in this area.
This is one that followed me home over the weekend. I'm 90% sure she's lava and for once still has her nose! The pinback alas is broken off...
Auto-immune problems are (something unprintable). Feel better soon.
Someone's messed it about. It's good that you rescued it.
Separate names with a comma.
