OK, looking again. The name starts with what I think may be Sr. Then another initial and a name that starts A and ends a, which is niggling the...
Whatever it is, not British. Diaz is a thought.
Try Spanish or Mexican. That doesn't say September it says Setiembre, which is Spanish for September. It's an older form than Septiembre but both...
Hm. I'd love to know what material they think would withstand the temperatures needed long enough to liquify the glass beads used for enamel...
Interesting. I've never heard of the term and it sort of doesn't make sense. ;) Cloisonne really is the use of wires to make little cloisons, so...
Sorry sweetie. ;) I was referring to your original bar brooch with the nice blue stone.
The paste set bar is probably French with that trombone clasp. The red white and blue is worth having tested. Looks like an old ruby and a couple...
If it has no wires, it isn't cloisonne but simply enamel. Cloisonne refers to the technique that uses wire to compartmentalise the enamel - from...

Yup, I think pate sur pate is more accurate.
Late 19th/early 20th C blue milk glass with enamelled decoration. Probably Bohemian, indeed. Don't clean it whatever you do. I'd keep that. ;)
That's the one. Interesting: it's very like some Empoli, so useful to see the label. Thank you!
I'm with Meiji too. Nice thing.
I'd be darned sure of it! I've had some of those cocktail glasses, I think they're jolly nice. Your amber one below them looks Empoli?
Most welcome. They made a lot of those huge brandy glasses, too.
Separate names with a comma.
