They look Indian to me. I've seen those brass cups in flock velvet blue boxes, set of six. Some silver plate, some not.
I think that's period. You can't get that honest wear by faking age.
Here, that would be 1870s ish.
I'd agree that the gold wash means they can be used for caviar.
I'd also try the Scandinavian glass Facebook group. It's certainly lead crystal and looks Scandi to me.
Oh my. @BoudiccaJones would love that.
I've seen telephone tables similar.
Good point. A British hotel is way more likely.
The blue stone one is a very common design, yes, as is the pink. I'm fairly sure the blue was made in the UK.
Looks like a carved glass to me, too.
Brooch with blue stones is 60s costume, as is the pink enamel.
UV=black light. It's well worth buying a cheap one on Ebay. I like those clips. Aurora borealis stones can't be earlier than 1955.
Shanghai is the pattern name and it's polychrome hand decorated transferware. Great photos.
Are you sure its wood and not painted papier mache?
Chain looks way newer than the pendant.
I've got an Italian terracotta based huge cat, bought by my parents in the 50s. It looks brand new.
Hm. Wonder if it's from Lodz?
It's certainly Polish alphabet, that weird L that gets pronounced sort of W.
Caviar spoons, those are.
Jaguar screams 1960s. I'm trying to remember who made those big figures. Yes, the tooth hurts it, but I'd still think it would be double or more...
Separate names with a comma.
