Can we get a light under that stone please? It does look like Blue John. The pendant is 19th C or early 20th in style, too. Not unusual for a...
Rotaprint did offset litho machines - my Pa's company had some. Penrose Annual was a graphic arts review. The fact that it says brochure, implies...
Quebec commemorative. He founded the city in 1608.No idea why it's 298 years though.
It's pretty recent, with that lobster claw.
I now want apricot jam filled plain chocolate lebkuchen.
Totally outside my area, these. (Why do I DO that!) A very soft little purse and a couple of beaded necklaces, bought separately. Anyone know...
If you can repair them well, then yes, I would. But obviously disclose. The brooch certainly looks late 19th.
Nurnberger lebkuchen! They still often come in really nice boxes and tins, designed for reuse. We had Bavarian au pairs when I was little: they'd...
I'd agree it may well be early 19th. It looks a bit too big for 18th. That cut looks more Bohemian than French.

What capacity is it? That's often a clue. Base? Pontil? Is that a folde rim? Does it look grey or clear in light?
Addictive, those are. I have books and books on railway art, love it.
Not cut but moulded. 1970s inexpensive glass. Over here those came in silver plated stands.
Might even be English.
Exactly. That terra cotta ought to have the grime of centuries embedded.
PS: He says the carriages aren't Southern Region, 'cos they have white tops. SR was green overall. (Sad bunny.)
He's had a stare at the original image and isn't convinced it's a British train. But of course, painters aren't botanists, as I often say, so they...
A great many operators used green, including European ones. The reason I want a good close up of the train and wagons is so I can wave it under...
Decent repro, I reckon. Base is all wrong for age, especially given how clean it is, there's no damage at all, which is highly unusual and the...
These were souvenir pieces in the 60s and 70s. Fantasy crests, indeed.
Separate names with a comma.
