Over here, you can get plate hangers that do no harm at all. These: http://www.handyhanger.co.uk/ Thoroughly recommended. I know people who put...
Not majolica, but tin glazed earthenware. Here, I'd think Iberian, but across the pond South American.
Hm. the shape wants to be Art Nouveau, as does the decoration, but the detail on the water lilies looks later. My gut feel is between the wars...
Don, it's also rarity, you've got less Brit stuff there than we have here. ;) Like the bling!
Nice breakfast set. A few years back, those used to fetch well over the hundred dollar mark here, but they've gone off a bit. I've a pretty plain...

I think that's fine, and seems a pretty fair price. I do like that plain blue but it doesn't sell for a whole lot.
Hm. So none of you are Studio Ghibli fans?
I have a rather nice carved jade bear with a salmon in his mouth. Bought in BC in 2005. The jade is Canadian, the carving was done in China. I...
