Ruth, the person selling them thinks they're copies. And has more, so I shall grab them. I don't think they're copies, I think they're modern,...
That brooch is late 19th into early 20th.
Blimey. I'd have grabbed that. I agree on 50s ish copy of Deco - that pot metal back looks right for then. Very nice indeed.
I'd keep that.
Nice link, thanks Marko!! The puss cats were the equivalent of $13 each. I was quite pleased. ;)
Made for someone, rather than a maker's mark.
Many thanks Walter - you are, as ever the font of knowledge on Italian pots! I thought this one very nicely done.
Paging @Walter Del Pellegrino please. I've googled without success, can you shed any light on this one? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Well, we did start it. ;) That's a very nice Edwardian A&C piece. Cheap as anything. I got these yesterday. They are Mine. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Agreed: or someone's very stylised logo in a Chinese manner.
Hm. Airbrushed. Not convinced the numbering style is Czech.
Modern - those hidden screw clasps usually are, and yes, Indian. Nice though.
Afternoon tea and things like cup cakes are big here, it'd sell.
Yup. Polish reconstituted, fairly new. That back is the giveaway. The sort of bumpiness to it.
Yup, jasper can be gilded, I've had a fair bit. It's nicest on the black. That's a dish.
It's absolutely a strawberry set and a very pretty one.
How very interesting. it's feasible that the electoral rolls at the time might shed some light: it's Haringey Council now. Let me just throw in...
I've seen costume brooches with wee jade cabs in them. They're not expensive.
I think so - you'd love a couple of bits I have!
1960s from that frame? Very nice.
