Late to the party, but it is indeed Caithness. If you check out the excellent Scotland's Glass website, you'll find some very good illustrations...
SIXTY QUID? Flaming hell. I knew the Old Cinema was a rip off, but that's absurd. I've never paid more than five for one, and that was only...
I've several of those Sklo bullet vases in assorted colours. That textured one is Ingridglas, I believe.
There you go. I've some little glass bits like this which I bought in Hong Kong in the 1980s.
Hm. He looks more like glass to me.
It's better than the average souvenir, so you might get that £20 mark. Ordinarily the plates are about a quid.
Try putting the book in the freezer, wrapped. It makes the tape brittle and you can often get it off.
Damn you. I've seen that before, in a company I've either worked for, or worked WITH. And I can't remember who the hell it was. ARG! :)
Venetian Carnival mask. Sea serpent.
It's a range name, rather than a pattern. Florette.
Denby or Bourne or Langley, or the people who make tobacco jars, whose name has escaped me. In all honesty, it won't matter.
My first thought is Bitossi. I can't remember the name of that pattern.
Try jug rather than pitcher - it's not really a term we use. And, try rope handle. There's a matching vase on Ebay UK:...
Most welcome!
I've had all of those at one time or another. All modern Chinese, and definitely not Selkirk. Nicely done - some makers seem to have moved on from...
I've seen ivory pieces from the 16th century that looked pristine. Nice thing, that.
My dining table, circa 1780. Bought by my parents when they married, so I'd count it as being "owned" by me almost as long.
The deposits happen through an acid and base reaction. Your metal object in water gives a mild acid, which will react with the dissolved calcium...
Those have been found in Bronze Age barrows here. Nice repro, that is.
I'm in the late 19th camp too. Doubt it's gold, with that wear, no reason they can't be wee real ruby and turquoise cabochons.
Separate names with a comma.
