That clay cat litter works really well. I'd put a layer straight on to the bottom and leave it for a while.
If I saw it here, I'd say late 18th into early 19th. I don't like that orangey refinish on it, but that's me. The trims are almost campaign style.
Art glass, I'd say.
I do that! Say hello, I mean. And I've neighbours who are keen to improve their English, and really like nattering when I'm in my front garden.
I think it's fine for carnelian. aj, we have several lovely Somali neighbours. One, works as a carer, has the goal that ALL her children will go...
I have at least three of these. 1980s ish, indeed. I'd not soak costume pearls, just a wipe with a damp cloth. I'm leary of soaking thread,...
That would be my thought, too.
I'd say it is - and that orange is wrong, too.
Repro, but older - 1950s ish maybe 70s. That glaze is way too shiny, the decoration far too considered.
Oh yes. Eight times the price of gold, gramme for gramme.
The best thing about dolly mixtures are jelly tots. Yum.
Oh, I'll ship dolly mixtures and other sweeties. ;) My grandparents had the remains of a shelter in the back garden. I go past the house often:...
Never mind the inky ones, those butterscotch beads will make you some nice money.

I think Italian, too, looks typical.
Not always. Some of the designs went on for decades and marks don't tie up with dates. Not sure which designs yours are, I need to think.
That's what was needed: yours are pre 1945, when Rene died. So, usually of more worth.
Need to see the signatures please. That dates them.
Yup, and it's not cheap.
Carnelian. Certainly in the style of my Victorian bracelet, but I suspect a little later with that 925 mark.
