Look at the texture on these Royal Bayreuth Tapestry pieces. The marks don't match but the texture does....
The numbers on the right leg look like the same style on both of these baskets. My basket is only 6" long, 5" tall and 2" wide.
Thank you for those links. I think that Royal Rudolstadt mark looks much older than these two baskets. The second link does have a similar...
Thank you for that information. So even if it was an Erphila mark, (so long ago I'm not sure), it really wouldn't answer the question of who made it.
I have a similar basket with more details and decorations. Similar number on the base. I was never able to find an ID. I found a vase with this...
The value isn't important if it's something she likes and wants to preserve. After all that effort, it would be a shame for it to peel away.
I've studied gilding for many years and studied under a well known gilder and restorer. All the books I've read (there are many) and the gilders...

Paint stripper WILL remove gold leaf. You should never use anything wet on gilding unless you are 100% sure it is NOT water gilded. Anything that...
I thought Scandinavian. Kosta Boda made a heavy lip vase like this but not with this type of base.

Hi Bernie, Send yourself an email with photograph attached. You will get a message screen asking you to pick a size. Large, Medium, or Small. I...
I actually found a mark on this studio pottery marks page on Pinterest. It's worth a try. https://www.pinterest.com/emeryslane/studio-pottery-marks/
This site has a few studio marks that are similar. I did a quick search but you may have better luck with more time....
Did you these listed on the Artful Home website? https://www.artfulhome.com/product/Art-Glass-Sculpture/Heechee-Probe-on-Clear-Spine/57519
[ATTACH] A friend is going to an auction and asked if I recognized this piece. This is the only photograph. I don't have a clue and had no luck...
Congratulations!!
