Finland is lovely, went there one August. Thankfully, English is widely spoken: I speak a fair few tongues, but Finnish is impenetrable. However,...
The word is INRI. It's what was on Christ's cross when he was crucified and stands, in Latin, for Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews. IESVS...
That looks like layered acrylic, similar to Lea Stein. 1950s ish from the clasp.
1950s or 60s, trying to look Limoges, might be Italian with that mount.
English jug is late 19th into early 20th from the style and script. That's a Tudor Rose. Almost impossible to say who.
I have Nina Ricci jewellery, it uses a stylised NR. See the clasp on this? I've also seen that brooch mark somewhere. Feh. [ATTACH]
Cheryl is right, it's not American. The box reads Richard. And I agree that the wires mean 80s ish.
With that signature style, a decent student or hobby potter who likes tubelining.
Yup - and an earlier one would have had a safety chain, not the side clips. The more I look at this, the more I think it may have started life in...

Those lamp dolphins are sturgeons. ;) http://footprintsoflondon.com/2015/04/here-be-dolphins-or-sturgeons/ I do agree that the mirror ones look...
750 implies European or possibly Hong Kong for the clasp, at least. I think it's a bit later than the 50s, those multi strands were hot in the 60s...
Monbijou is the pattern, it's Rosenthal. Unless it's really cheap, I'd not do it.
Interesting: here, that would almost certainly have been gilded.
There may be a list of locations somewhere, but it tends to be done by locals who maintain the things, so not all are well publicised. Nice, isn't...
Probably gilded once. Mid to late 19th I suspect and much of its value went when some muppet stripped it. :(
Many of our Tube and railway stations in London have shelves on which one may deposit books and "borrow" for reading. I ended up rereading The...
Oh, if we're talking comics, I was reading those before books, I think. ;) Legion of Super Heroes was the best. And later TV21 and Penelope, for...
Hoo. Too many to choose from. Moomins! And Rupert annuals. Chalet School. C S Lewis.
I have a storage unit. It has many fine shelves. All, crammed with books, must be about three thousand of them.
