I recently dipped my toes into the old English Imari world. I was surprised at how many patterns there are. All variations on the same thing but...
Yours looks like maybe a slightly crude pottery copy. Love it though. I collect old pugs and bulldogs. I have a pretty fine porcelain pug in a...
I was happy to move them on whatever the use. Can’t say I didn’t peek at an “article” or three first. Your dad and I both appreciated the writing....
You want to be careful touching those too. Not because they are dangerous but could be quite icky. I once bought a bunch of them. At least 100...
I’m more inclined to your belief but I see what Hollyblue was getting at too. I’d vote natural though if I had to. Even though I don’t like the...
I found a little gun powder quick loader in some things I bought once. Turns out you could also put pesticides and other things in it. I swear my...
I don’t see them but don’t doubt that you’re right. The surface glossiness really bugs me on all of them. Maybe the owner treated them with...
Looks like a very fun sale to root around imo. I may have focused in on the early export teapots and pieces near them that I saw in one photo. At...

Might I say your purchase is looking significantly better today than it was a couple weeks ago! With silver up over $28 per Troy ounce the value...
Thanks :)
Ah, good call. I was just a bit surprised there wasn’t a comprehsive resource/list somewhere easy to find.
I did check these :). Well not the book but the sites.
Oddly it didn’t in that case but you make a good point. When you looked really carefully at the right angle you could see the mark had been there....
Anyone happen to know a good site for Moorcroft artist initial ID? I picked up a 1992 vase with AW initials. Was hoping to find who AW is but I...
I bought a pin once with an 18k mark that was just plated. Was in a thrift grab bag so not a big loss. Can’t recall the name of the company but...
I’ll probably show some photos at some point. It was a helluva haul. Helluva haul.
It literally and figuratively pained me greatly. I can only assume by his actions and words that he figured things had zero value if they weren’t...
