Yup, made for Gralglas Germany.
I bet that silk velvet was a deep purple once.
That makes sense - thank you!
The radio station names are a clue to age, thinking about it. Those have to be late 20s into the early 30s at least. Probably 30s. I think the...
True!
Exactly. Tea strainers don't steep tea, that's an abomination. One makes tea in a pot, pours it into the cup, sans or avec strainer. Strainer...
1960s or so. I've seen a fair few, they were kits.
I'd not call that one Imari palette, tho'.

This was in a junk lot a while back, missing a pin, so I added one. It's Middle Eastern of some sort, I'd welcome thoughts on it. May be gold, not...
I've had this kind of result from known NON diamonds, say, which had a solid back to the setting. It's worth playing with testers and known stones.
I've had some Australian silver medallions with H&S on the back. Can't recall who that is offhand.
