Assorted oddments of late. This is a nice filigree, probably silver wee bracelet with a strange clasp I've not seen before. Fifty pence....
That's the one!
Hm. There's no such thing as the Lord Mayor of London. There is the Lord Mayor of the CITY of London and there's the muppet who was the Mayor of...
I doubt that's much over a gramme and a half, so $23 is about right.
There's a fair few makers who use or used crowns, but each is a different distinct shape.
Eastern - Indian possibly, or maybe Emirates. @Any Jewelry ?
Not Lilyof the Valley, my botany brain will wake up in a moment and remind me what it is. These have been made since the 18th C at least, and...
Yup, Crown Staffordshire, Clare pattern. 1950s - 60s.

I'd keep it, but then, I'm rather fond of Doulton. ;)
It's all good. The impressed number is the shape, yes. Mark is 1902 to 1930. The other numbering refers to the decoration.
Are we all wishing to be in the amber room?
I can't even do that to my cats.
To me, the craft isn't fine enough for late 18th or early 19th century. Alhough cuts weren't as faceted, settings and finish were wonderful. I'd...
Last one looks like that art clay stuff. I've forgotten many things, including the name of it.
Close ups, please? Seems fine, but I'd like a better look.
Hm. Differentiation. This looks as though the edges are slightly worn back, showing the underglaze. If pottery of this kind, any wee chips would...
Separate names with a comma.
