1960s.
Most welcome.
Oh, that's the stuff!
The colour can vary but it's more of a blue than green when it's opaque amber. Usually.
For British stuff, you can't beat Godden.
I strongly suspect it's Austrian or German and late 19th.
Agreedm it's 20s or 30s.
From India, Benares ware.
More than rumours, I think he got done for it. Yes, they were the Fleabay ones. And then there was the nutter who kept morphing....
Hm. Might be Chinese. @Any Jewelry ? Hand painted porcelain plaques in silver, anyhow. edit: I don't think shard, the plaques are too...
I think enamel not tortoiseshell. Did you run it by the PAS? Second one is pot metal , just post WW2, moonglow glass.
You need to go prowl round some good dealers and the jewellery gallery at the V&A to get your eye in.
Damn, I've seen that before. Not Italian. Bother my brain.
Influenced strongly by blanc de Chine. What he meant by the merging was the same thing you get with flow blue: the ink floods into the porcelain...
It can be tricky: you need to sort of angle the thing. If all you see is a blue dot with no veil, then not amber. Your second one in low, rather...
I still remember the nutter on Bali and the crooked arrow head bloke.
The second one is much closer: that diffused veil rather than a bright blue dot.
If you've not got wax, a candle will do it.
I think slightly earlier than Edwardian, our stuff was lightening up by then. 1880s ish. Well worth the money.
That's Tunbridge/Tonbridge Ware, that is. Border is typical. It's later though, shape and lining are 30s ish.
