Ow. There's no way Derby would let those out. Sloppy smudged and poor quality painting. I realise they were your grandmother's but that doesn't...
I'm with greg, someone has Dremelled that Cartier on.
And also, the chunks aren't the valuable amber. It's beads. So I really doubt you lost out much.
Second, I believe, with that x.
I've Rindskopf glass with fully hallmarked rims, too.
Just as a point of information, don't assume STERLING as a mark means US. There's British stuff marked like that. Although those were done in Austria.
I'd call it a club chair.
Ratsy, that's a sulphide dump and a very handsome one, too. I love those. Do I need to stalk you to find out which charity shops? ;)
That isn't amber, then, either original or reconstituted.
What are the letters and numbers, other than the 925?
Can you sketch the name out? Might give a clue.
Yup. The glaze is sort of sticky, too, not that lovely fine sheen.
Do you actually see a blue diffuse veil?
Takes me back to the 60s, that, atlthough I think it's more recent and probably Mexican.
May well be English, and yes, Edwardian corner chair. They're silly cheap here, despite being so pretty.
Not with a dauber style end. I've bottles - decorative - with long pointed stoppers.
I agree they're nicely done, but I also think this is a wannabee Derby mark, not the real thing. The mark is very much like copies I've seen here:...
It's pretty typical of many stylised Italy marks.
Yup, liquid paraffin for gut cleaning.
It's reconstituted amber and the only definitive test is UV. You'll see a diffuse blue veil be it original or remade. Can I rant now about hot...
