Collar or shirt stud backs. I've got several.
I'd be looking at QVC stuff. It's very nice.
I sold a set of six decent butter knives at auction for about twenty quid recently. Yours is probably better, so my guesstimate is about the sixty...
I don't and won't use the Ebay boards any more. Especially the jewellery one. Sad, perhaps, but there it is.
Buy a Sunshine cloth and give it a gentle clean. I think you'l find it will absolutely pop. Pity about the enamel damage, but it's still a nice thing.
It yells Victorian to me, too. Nice blue enamel on silver with seed pearls. And yes, a very common sentimental motif. Can you get me a photo of...
There were Native American nations who certainly wore those feather skirts. One of the Californian ones and some of the East Coast coastal...
Interesting indeed! That base looks so much like a modern Asian one. But then, we don't get much Pilgrim here. ;) Have a look at the weight...
The Isle of wight piece is nice - he went off and founded Mdina, and that's quite like the tortoiseshell stuff they did.
The Young and Trendy with Ironic tastes. I kid you not.

I knew before I even looked at the mark. It's Arcoroc, made by one of the J G Durand companies. Recent pressed glass, inexpensive. Useful mixing bowl.
Hmph. I've a great local gold buyer who pays at or slightly above scrap for decent pieces. She then sells them on as jewellery a bit more above...
I could get that script read in a heartbeat where I live. ;) Any local Indian restaurants? (We call burlap sacking.)
Definitely not majolica. It also has artificial crackelure and aging to the base. The red mark looks Chinese and that's where I suspect it came from.
That little stick pin looks gold, too.
The handy hangers chap's email is on the website, and he does say he ships, so drop him an email? I've been pleased with mine.
Posted too soon. The main reason I dislike those brass and steel wire ones is that they place entirely too much strain on what can be very fragile...
Greg, you'd be surprised, I suspect. They're very high quality and take a good weight. I've had very heavy plates on some for years, and there's...
Separate names with a comma.
