Usually I try to ignore lead glass vases unless Scandinavian and marked, but this had such a nice woman with harp carving that I had to bring it...
Thank you, all. Embarrassed to say I looked at gotheborg before posting, but forgot that the first page doesn't have all the marks, and you need...
This is a very heavy large pottery bowl (9-1/2" diameter), not see-through like porcelain. Has more age than most of the Japanese stuff I see,...
Too far away - we need a closeup plus the other pics.
Agree, very nice painting. It's safe to say the mom wasn't out in a boat painting, so this must be after an older painting or print. I suck at...
I think possibly American even earlier in the 1800's, like ca 1800. Need pics: closeup dovetails, a drawer bottom, foot to look for...
Thank you, I really appreciate it. I wish it was that easy to wade through the bureaucracy. I suspect the school shutting down for covid19 isn't...
Or actually you've seen it many times if you're of a certain age, but only in magazines and books. Give up? Edwin Eberman, who co-founded and...
Good idea. I'm currently waiting for someone at their university museum to respond to me about the painting in another thread. If I manage to...
I wish I had an outdoor picture like that, then I could compare buildings. But a pic inside a photographers studio doesn't give much to go on.
I'm in the Boston area. See fair amount of Harvard (and other colleges) stuff including from professors. But no african american professors at...
I checked the pins on his coat with a loupe and don't think it is '43'. That said, I don't know what it is. I don't know clothing history. At...
Great thought. Rum actually sounds quite likely to me, this would easily hold the regulation ration of rum given out to every sailor of the UK...
Were you answering me about whether it was magic marker on the back? That definitely doesn't look like paint to me. You can try a solvent for...
That candle cup size would be from the 1800's at the earliest, probably mid 1800's and later. The decoration isn't clear to me from the pics....
Thanks for the interest. I opened it up, so have better pictures, but no writing anywhere. The mix of ages strikes me (so not, for example, a...
Very nice work, and fast too. You should make a label documenting the work you did and leave it stuck inside a drawer.
Could be 70's or even newer. There were a huge number of these lamps made in China that were being sold in the 80's and 90's. Handmade but on a...
The writing on the back looks like permanent marker to me?
Yes, squares are one inch. It is kind of small, holds only about four ounces (would work for expresso, but that seems weird too).
Separate names with a comma.
