I’m somewhat frequently amazed at the intricate detail and quality that went into/onto earlier American Silverplate. Like 1860’s-1870’s era ish....
Now that you mention it I can make myself see 800 in the photo but I’m 99.99800% sure it’s just some texture in the metal.
I’m either incompetent when it comes to pearls on teeth or every time I’ve tried they have been fake. I never feel anything that noticeably...
I see what you’re talking about but I think it’s just a bit of texture rather than a mark. I stuck it under the loupe earlier to double check.
That is also a great feeling for sure! What a score those were. I probably wouldn’t have even bought them if I spotted them at a thrift. I haven’t...
Assumed faux pearls. Any idea where/when? Guessing 30s-50’s American? Closer to 40’s? Came in a bag lot I bought. Not sure if a marriage or set...
Is there a better feeling than winning a lot you’ve had your eye on all along at a great price? I’m sure there is but it’s gotta be right up there.
Spice it up a bit at least. Dorothy Thrillass or Dorothy Sweetass maybe.
Makes a lot of sense!
I very much assume this is a personalized item that only had meaning to the owner, giver, and maybe those close to them. However I figured I may...
With all of that honey matrix it’s odd to me that they mixed in two darker cabs. Seems a bit careless to me. They stand out/clash for me every...

That’s a possibility! I didn’t see any this size searching carafes/decanters but doesn’t mean they didn’t make them. When I searched 18th century...
Not super grey but a little grey? Not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me. I’ll look again in daylight. Searching 18th century gilt glass...

These are on tea cup holders. I believe they are 1908-1926 second Kokoschnik marks. Triangle in 875 cartouche maybe for Moscow? Anyone seeing...
I know a LOT of people end and sell similar with changes like you mentioned. I don’t pay for a “store” so I have limited free listings. So I...
The platform does have its issues for sure. I did/do feel that sellers are treated as secondary to buyers. Recently I have had a streak of luck...
Some closeups of the scene on the bottle. The “top level” auction house put their sticker right on top of the man. Grrrrr[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
That would be exciting! You saw it was under 5” right? When I think carafe I think big but I guess they don’t have to be by definition.
