The top dancers are very wealthy. And also,it's seen as the best being older women.
Traditional belly dancer wear, that is.
Very saleable - $10 to $20 a pair, perhaps a little more. The conchos are cute.
If I saw it here, late 1800s into Edwardian. Might even be English.
I see abalone, green malachite and black onyx. I'd guess late 80s into early 90s, especially the SW ones. Very like stuff I was buying in AZ then.
@Bev aka thelmasstuff - love the wall art. ;) We didn't see the little chapel, no time, as it was a cruise. I did go to a wedding on Cyprus some...
It does look like a marriage, I agree. Earring perhaps.
The use of 15 and .625 suggests it is after 1904 and before 1932. No duty head either, so it can't be 1877. That looks like 1927.
Which country are you in, please?
Way too small. And you'd not use nice white food quality enamel for coal.
It may be 1970s, that's quite feasible. No later than 96, when HK went back to China. Sixties and fifties stuff tends to say British Crown Colony...
I've seen similar here, but never with a foot pedal. Neat idea that.
Does the pedal actually do anything? Raise the lid? My first thought is a dough prover.
I've been doing job lots of jewellery. Some nice bits in amongst the dross, including a genuine Tomas Sabo bracelet, which made the whole lot...
It'll be pre 1996.
Could be one of ours. I'd think a bit earlier if it is: 1890s ish.
IS this in the UK? Looks like Olde Charme or one of those.
Yup, Australian or NZ.
Knossos is the most astonishing place to walk round. Stunning wall art.
German or Austrian, late 19th.
