In the UK? It's pretty, more delicate than most, but not fashionable. £100 to £150.
Have you got the original fitting still? That's a good clue. These were wildly fashionable here in the 1950s, and I think that's when it dates to....
I agree - biscuit barrel.
Thank you. ;)
Try a slightly smaller auction house, like Toovey's or Roseberys. I've had very good experiences with both.
Sideboard, I'd call it. The finish looks japanned. I doubt it was made in Wales, even if bought there, it doesn't have the heaviness of a...
It's well done, but I doubt it's 18thC and I rather doubt it's English. The base is far too clean and actually, too thick. Those chrysanthemums...
Many of the repros are actually made in Staffordshire still. Always were. I agree this is newish, the base and clay are all wrong. And the...
French seems reasonable. Mid 19th at a guess. Two thoughts. Zinc is used to prevent water or ice coming in contact with bronze. This might...

I don't think it's European - look at that 7. I'm wondering if it's post war Brit. We had a bit of an Egyptian revival thing going. That number...
I'll lay odds mid 19th C English.
Cheryl, it was more the colour than the classical motif? It's a very jasper hue, that.
True -and that would be a closer match.
It's very worn, poison, I've seen rubbed ones like that.
Cheryl, I suspect it's an homage in glass to jasperware/pate sur pate. I've had clear glass with that kind of silver floral work, but yes, the...
Zinc, or an alloy thereof, I'd say. Nice thing. I'm so glad you didn't polish it. ;)
Um, it's not sprigged pottery or glazed, it's glass. ;) So, not pate sur pate, or Schafer und Vater. It's very well done. The silver work was...
Chester assay mark, by the look of it. You do sometimes just get the city on wee things.
It's costing me £6.50 to get it properly cleaned: worth every penny, they seem to sell for about three hundred!
