I would guess that's a monogram: PVB
This is a problem with older reference materials, but I have to say that this book is full of warnings about the variability of ink and paper...
Sadly, I have nothing to add. A book I have called "Curatorial Care of Works of Art on Paper" (Anne F. Clapp, 1978) speaks of using thymol...
ATS could well be the American Tract Society. The Burney name and the remarque may well be from the same hand, but I find it hard to believe...
Chris to the rescue! I was looking through my own copy of Rontgen and not making a connection. Chris' site is more comprehensive.
Rontgen is a book of German and Austrian porcelain marks: Marks on German, Bohemian, and Austrian porcelain : 1710 to the present
I think it might be German and those marks might be in Rontgen. I know I've seen them somewhere. INH has the blue marks upside down.
They do seem to be from the same hand, but to me they seem rather harsh... hard and edgy in a way the originals are not. Lawrence did paint Red...
Definitely not trench art. Could have been a promotional thing from the manufacturer of the plane, but that's conjecture. No maker's mark on the...
I once had this ashtray (7" wing span): [ATTACH]
Possibly C.G. Schierholz.
I had a different piece of Art Vannes once. I don't remember where I got the info, but my notes say Art Vannes of Vannes-le-Chantel in France...
I think you have ample room for profit. I don't like the frames. It's those white liners that I find jarring. The brown colour seems to work......
To me it seems to have more of a 1940s-early '50s feel. It's not one of them, but it reminds me of those prints/paintings signed Harris or Bernard...
Reminiscent of Robert Hanke.
People see what they want to see. No one today can understand how the Han van Meergeren fakes of Vermeer gained acceptance, but they fooled the...
Rather depends on what it's going to cost, and what venues you have for selling. Looks to be someone's accumulation rather than the works of an...
Faking engraved gems is almost as old as engraved gems. Take a look at the Poniatowski collection (which caused quite the scandal when sold at...
Could be somebody's notion of an Indian chief at the bottom.
Another piece that looks like it has a Sklo bottom.
Separate names with a comma.
