But just on the off chance: anyone recognise the mark on this massive teapot? Looks sort of Japanese ish, and it's granite clay. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Hm. If I saw it here, I would think Europe.
I don't think that ring is tigers eye. Too pale, doesn't have the sort of irridescent veil to it. Can you do a close up of the stone?
Not that recent and it's handblown. The base is nicely polished and shows some wear.
Vases.
Denture tablets are your friend.
That amber set might be a crafter's make, I've a friend who does similar. Fiddly as heck.
1910s Bohemian, possibly slightly earlier. Not cut to amber, but cut then gild embellished, by the look of it. The shape is very Edwardian and...

They're definitely not turquoise, the structure isn't right, if you see what I mean. In places, there's no colour and that reveals a sort of stone...
I can't take the amber ones off, but I've done all the other amber tests - I own a fair bit of the stuff. ;) These are just weird, though. The...
You're welcome, I've found it very useful in the past.
Did you try oldcopper.org for the marks?
Hi chaps Two vintage bead strings to look at. One, I think, is perhaps dyed stone - they're green, irregular and cold to the touch. However, the...
