Very well done indeed. Looks superb.
Yes, recent Scandinavian. I can't recall who off hand.
Oh, I'm not knocking Dawn, trust me, she's an eye. ;) I'm just not keen on the pale stripped stuff - even more when it's internal doors.
If you think it's glass, then the definitive is lemon juice.
It's fine, honest. Just early. ;)
That clasp is right for the date, no issue with it and a decent Etruscan revival style band. I'm not seeing mould blown glass. The backs...

She's wearing a traditional sari with the loose end thrown over her head and a chemise blouse beneath it. That colour and style is worn all over...
Nice paste frame on that. Make sure you mention it. Back looks 1840s ish to me, too.
AHA! Thank you. I could not for the life of me decipher it. Given Himself has been there, he ought to be ashamed he couldn't either. ;)
