I’ve not seen west German with glitter. I love that colour.
I think that might be fratelli fanciulati. Which I can’t spell.
I like that. Might be north African.
Yes, costume. Nice freebie though.
You know me far too well. I’d have grabbed it. I’ve seen similar, and I suspect they’re made in Indonesia. They’ve got that look to them.
The jug and tall vase, maybe. I don’t think the goblet is.
It’s absolutely a nutcracker and not a marriage either. I’ve seen these sold in the U.K.
Not Mdina and I don’t think Isle of Wight either.
I think ink is more likely. Could well be Victorian.
I’ve very similar pairs, bought new in the eighties.
Czech pieces are usually bone China or porcelain, too.
Between the wars then.
Probably brass. Quite common in the late nineteenth and early twentieth which is when I suspect this was made.
West German floor lamp.
They look press moulded rather than carved, and I suspect they’re later revival. Fabric is eighties does fifties.
Ah, well found! Thank you.
These are hugely collectible, especially the less common ones. People want to make sets.
I don’t think that one’s venini either. John’s vase has a very broken and rough pontil and the rigaree is relatively crude. The bubbles are...
Nor had I, and I can’t find any others. Fascinating isn’t it.
