50s looks right. It looks like onyx/alabaster to me, banded.
Nope. ;) The clue is in the tiny letters underneath. It's a proper antique though.
That 1948 badge is super. Wembley!
Oh, that's a point, I'd forgotten the foil. I'd do white vinegar on a cotton bud gently over the stones.
Granite type clay, sometimes found in the West of England, would not surprise me if it's British. Early 19th ish. Looks salt glazed. There's a...
For once, I'd be pretty sure this was made on Murano. It's OTT, exuberant, well made and deeply sixties.
Oh good grief. Another one for my ignore list. Anyhow, back to the earring. It might have been fixed on to another ring with the ear wire, if...
Might not be as spectacular as the Newcomb, but this was truly satisifying. Spotted it, thought it wasn't your average brass tray maybe, and, hey,...
I'd say Indian too.

Yup, 1955. No duty head for one thing. And as others say, the seal may well be older.
That statement about hallmarks is, frankly, nonsense. I've a great many pieces sans hallmarks. And indeed, tonight's BBC Antiques Roadshow had a...
You scored, girl!

I'll unearth it in the morning, nag me. That's an unusual piece. Might be nursery ware.
Crown for gold, 18 for purity, leopard head for London, U for the date.
Late 19th paste in a silver mount, gold backed. The lack of hallmarks means nothing: much was un hallmarked. And actually, I'd get the stones...
Yup, but you've also got an assistant mark, that star. I'll have to fish the book out.
Triana is a barrio of Seville, been there. And yes, also a tile making centre. S.A. is the abbreviation of the equivalent of Ltd. Sociedad Anonima.
Agreed on that. It's a seal ring, try pressing it in some blu tack so see it the right way round. Bottom is a garter belt.
