It might be early rayon and it's worth a burn test. That fluffiness is typical of rayon. I'd actually try washing it. Don't forget that when...
It would have had a cork stopper with wax or plastic over it. If I could find the one I had, I'd post a picture!
Someone has got at it with metal polish. Spend a few evenings with wooden toothpicks and a soft toothbrush picking it out.
That first one is a Crystal d'Arques moulded one, I've seen lots. I think the swirl ones are as well. Agree on the champagne. What are those...
Photos of the entire piece are needed, but that's fairly typical of a hobby potter.
You could try the Wedgwood Museum, that's perhaps your best bet. Artists aren't well documented, unlike Doulton ones.
Italian moulded reconsituted alabaster from about the 1960s. It's been near cigarette smoke. Absolutely not glass with that base to the lid....
AKA transfer here, Charlie.
I've seen these. They're sold with solid perfume in assorted Zodiac signs. It's missing a stopper.
Not that early, Wedgwood were over a hundred by then. ;) Yes, salad bowl missing spiffy servers.
You have a very nice early 19th C footed tazza or comport in yes, flow blue. Earthenware, rather than bone china or porcelain and I may yet...
That's fascinating. These barber's bowls are really common here - not neccessarily like this make, I mean, but the shape.
I think that's a conjoined AM rather than A1.
The bowl form is European, though.The colour looks Spanish, if anything.
Looks like a classic British well bucket to me. Iron coopered. Bit of age, late 19th/early 20yht perhaps.
Just decorative and a modern souvenir.
I'd forgotten the freezer trick, it's a good one.
Yup, dyed sponge coral.
I see no marriage, I've seen identical backs on cufflinks here. Agree on the dates and probably rolled gold. Box looks right.
Sort of - the building, I mean. We did copies of Elizabethan in both the 19th and 20th C.
Separate names with a comma.
