Czech, probably pink camphor glass, between the two wars.
Faturan, possibly. UV light is the only really reliable amber test.
There's a good Deco Pressed Glass Facebook group, try that one.
I'm not sure. The stones aren't typical: I'm thinking more Bohemia maybe. Garnet, topaz and citrine, I suspect. Having said that, the bloke I...
Hmmmm.... I've seen similar over here. Wonder if it's a British or European set.
So, this is nice. Late 19th into early 20th, unmarked but I bet silver, with good stones. Needs a clean. Eight dollars equivalent. ;) [ATTACH]...
Looks Hopi to me, I've some similar.

Phillips screws didn't come into furniture use here until well after WW2. Those are very recent ones: Ercol stuck with traditional screws for a...
Mm, plug may have been added on.
The power plug is British by the look of it - I can't see the prong shapes, but looks ours. Not that new though: these days, they're moulded on to...
Could be, there's a Finnish look to it. There's a good Facebook page for Scandi glass, worth asking.
Not Ravenhead or Whitefriars most definitely. I know what you mean about a Thrower feel: it's a bit like bark glass looking Baxter-ish! My money...
You give padded envelopes as presents? ;)
If you're thinking Dartington Daisy, I think not. Those have proper spotty centres to the flowers and aren't opalescent like that - fewer petals, too.
My gut feel is that it's a decent copy, perhaps itself of some age. It looks too perfect in terms of condition, for one thing. The other point is...
My first thought, she said, late to the party, was snails. I eat baby octopuses, deep fried, floured. Yum.
They may be Czech. Those necklaces with long bars often are. Between the wars, I think - it's quite short.
Separate names with a comma.
