If I'm buying non old stuff, for me to keep, it's eclectic to say the least. At car boot sales here, you get everything from house clearance pros...
Interesting. I should have known that shape name, I speak some Catalan. It's closer to French than Castellano Spanish, and supposedly has its...
They look like spaghetti measures to me. ;)
I've seen roses like that. Russian, German/Eastern Europe and even Italian.
Similar ones - and I see them in garden centres here quite a bit, too. I like them best when they get weathered and mossy.
Recent, decorative, and not cheap if you buy them for the garden. Which is what I'd have done.
Blimey. I've sold those frames for over sixty dollars here. Well done.
I'd grab anything you can. ;) Very nice little thing, and DO NOT clean him any more. He'd be a couple of hundred dollars here - but you can't sell...
Your pin stem probably says 800. That's one of the Czech silver standards.
Much is having seen and handle a lot of both Murano and modern Asian. This doesn't have the flair or the individuality I'd expect from "proper"...

Sure. If it's a Laurel Burch piece, there ought to be a signature of some sort on it. Have a look down this page:...
I don't think it's a Murano maker. Might be Italian, one of those Arte Murano factories, but I suspect more likely Far Eastern and very new. Those...
Coiled, not turned. That can still be done by machine.
Yup, totally agree on the bracelet in terms of age. If those are Burch, they ought to be marked.
Given that the language is Czech, they may well be Gablonz garnets. They do look it. Pekin and camphor is a thought.
You seeing gold? I see silver. ;)
Hm. POdzim means Autumn, so I think some kind of award for some sporting thing in 1922. The bracelet clasp isn't broken, those are just fiddly....
From memory, the Navajo started using coral in the 19th C. I've several pieces with that jagged mark, but not the same artist's mark. This does...
Separate names with a comma.
