I've seen wardrobes that would match that: one long drawer on the bottom.
Japan pieces weren't marked that way till after WW2, though. This is late 19th/erly 20th Jugendstihl and very nice. The font is a bit of a clue.
The shape is very Georgian and they loved ebonised wood. I'd think early 19th or late 18th. I don't have a problem with the look of the bare wood:...
I have a jug made in about 1805 which has almost no wear at all. Gilded glass can show far less wear than gilded china.
You're very welcome, sometimes my languages are helpful. ;) If you email them, they might even have exhibitors lists for that year. Very...
I don't buy from anyone who uses GSP. It's a total rip off for both buyer and seller. Why not use third party insurance? Much cheaper.
There's a European MCM ceramics Facebook page. If I hadn't seen the label, I'd have thought it Italian, so possibly somewhere on the Italian...
We get them that size here.
I think you're spot on with matches.
Looks almost like leather. I suspect this is 1920s or 30s.
Nice, that is. Not for pies.
Yup, but that one looks fine. It's too low priced new to fake.
Where's af. Anyhow, it's newish and it's battery, so even with the Garrard name that pushes the value down. You do, however, have a serial...
That implies not - RM have three attempts at delivery. af, my posties are lovely. We've had the same ones for years - one saw me standing at the...
The lid isn't Doulton, either, imo.
Could be earlier. That sapphire blue was very popular in the 30s.
It probably got caught for Customs duty, in which case your buyer ought to have had a letter asking for money before it was delivered. His best...
A fair few. I've lots of Mdina ones. Not made by Whitefriars, oddly.
The knop is gilded, rather than a metal mount, hm?
I've seen 19thC ones with those brass top handles. The gilding and lid are absoutely not Chinese, anyhow.
Separate names with a comma.
