A good way to give these a second life IMO is under potted plants to catch dirt and water. I’ve used damaged old plates for this after seeing it...
I’ve never actually used the hydrogen peroxide method of reducing/erasing dirty hairline cracks. If I was going to try I would have used the brown...
Wow. Incredible find. I figured running it through an image search was a waste of time. Figures, the majority of stuff I hope to find a match for...
Two piece belt buckle makes sense! Thanks guys.
I think it would have to be arched pretty dramatically to have been on a shoe buckle. It never occurred to me it could have been on a belt buckle...
I’ve been visiting a piece of land along a very old road frequently the last month or so with my metal detector. When the ground is about to...
It would be lovely if they were that old. I have a feeling they are somewhat contemporary reproductions but I hope I’m wrong! There are also some...
These came in a lot. Can’t figure out mark. IJ in one mark and appears to be struck TJ in other mark on same piece. The shield mark has a ship and...

Got these at a really good sale. They are pretty thin/light glass. Nice quality etching. Pontil marks on both. I was thinking Georgian, early...
I just bought an MCM bedroom set (minus nightstands sadly) for myself. When I opened the top dresser drawers I was pleasantly surprised to find...
This popped up on my YouTube today. It’s in four short parts. Well worth a watch! History of British silver from the late 17th century onward. A...
Thanks so much guys! Y’all are such an amazing bunch to bounce things off of and learn from.
Looks like you were on the money with the warps!
I’ve got this pretty little thing. Similar color scheme. I’ve always assumed it was Nippon/Noritake type ware. I’ve always been partial to it. It...
Could be. Something about it doesn’t seem quite right to me but I don’t know enough to put a finger on it.
I think that makes sense! They didn’t do a good job capturing the corners in the photos. Either because they didn’t realize they were important or...
Separate names with a comma.
