Good heavens. That's really close, let me go squint at the link. I think painted, I need to go stare at them with a loupe.
These were made in Bohemia - Czechoslovakia - well after WW2.
Oh, I like that idea. I could do with that!
Why would you have a label engraved Reading? From the font and style, I think it's 19th C. No hallmarks or owt. Small too. [ATTACH]

I think those are quite recent giftware. I'd suspect Japan.
Our patent office has been in the process of digitising these records for a good few years. I don't believe there is yet a free online resource...
I don't think egg coddlers, the shape is wrong. Also, with those, the lid generally comes off completely and easily, so you can tip the egg on...

A wee box, sixties, I'd think given it's very similar in design to others of the period. Inside is odd - it has a sliding compartment. Anyone...
And another slight mystery. Anyone know which factory this one is? ta! [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
These are quite nice quality. Odd mark, almost looks like a silver marking pen! Anyone recognise it please?The design reminds me of some Aynsley...
Found me bits. ;) See what I mean about the clasps? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Here, the aged glass would be considered way more desirable and saleable than a modern swap out. I love the look of it.
I've photos of my 80s bits, if I can find them.
Certainly narcissus, which originated around the Med. I wonder what the foxes staring at the moon means?
