Agreed: Bohemian, enamelled on opaque aka milk glass, late 19th C. The bottom is typical.
Oh god. I should have recognised H&K, I've got LOADS of the stuff! Mostly the poor man's Moorcroft.
You'd pay that retail, save your cash.
ARG! Sorry, I really HATE that Bristol Glass term, it's as misused as Mary Gregory. ;) Or Murano, for that matter. That looks of recent...
You're misreading the Toovey's, I'd say, it sold for about $360! It's a British figurine so I'd expect a higher price in the US, due to rarity.

They're always known as opera glasses here, regardless of where they were used. Theatres still hire them out, too - some of the older London ones,...
Or maybe a train....
Or a pub, even.
I'm not convinced it came from a ship. If it had, it ought to say SS or RMS or whatever. That's a garter belt I think. Not unusual to have a wide...
Now see, I'd call that a campaign set, rather than a writing slope, I tend to use that term for wooden ones that have an angle. ;) You did very...
Are those Phillips head screws or ordinary ones?
Those Minton tiles sell very well here. The blue ones look Spanish or Portuguese and much more modern - thinner, yes? Terracotta?
That's the pattern! It's much earlier: 1950 or so. I did get one from the US (!) by persuading a seller who didn't normally do international to...
Separate names with a comma.
