The biggest argument (to my mind) against it being homemade is the curved glass. Anyone could get that done so long as they knew who could do it,...
I would have thought it was about 20 years earlier. How are the glass pulls held in place?
A French company called Vion & Baury did similar, but not with this mark. http://pairlargeantique.com/category/vion/ Bouncing back and forth, I...
If that's a maker mark, I don't know who. These do look a bit better done than others of the same ilk.
I suspect that painted mark is the person who did the coloring. Could easily be wrong. Any impressed mark on the back of the base? You can...
I suspect it's a fashion thing as much as anything else. A lot of old prints are trimmed inside the plate mark, so I think there was a time when...
Probably wheat starch glue because it's water soluble and can be undone. You need to find wheat starch. If you've got a Chinese grocery near...

Rontgen shows three similar marks, all French: Tinet (Montreuil), E. Jaquemin (Fontainbleu), Jacob Petit (Fontainbleu). Bet they're all related....
Doesn't add anything, but I was watching a Fake or Fortune episode in which they were discussing a potential Constable sketch and, as part of a...
Nicely done! Something like this might look good: [IMG]
My mother had a salad bowl set like that in the late '60s/'70s.
I've been thinking about it and now might guess an even earlier date,say 1830-60, but really, that's just wishful thinking. Hopefully some else...
Don't know, but the online definition says Specerian writing became fashionable around 1850: [ATTACH] Spencerian script: [ATTACH] Spencerian...
Looks like it has some kind of a surface treatment. I'd leave it alone. My guess is that it's some corporate mascot, maybe some fast food chain...
I'd say leave to someone else to do unless planning to hang onto it. Looks arts and crafts to me, and a nice design (though I'm not a fan of the...
