I'm a sucker for lamps as well. A search of my files turned up 37 without really getting into a search. Some I still have, and some are gone. I...
No idea what. Food, paint, plastics... anything that might need mixing. Maybe less likely for food because of sterility issues.
Looks like it might come from some kind of industrial blender.
I'm seeing a crown and a very battered globe. Try Minton.
That certainly clarifies things.
@Cherryhill will know (or at least know what to look for).
It's an interesting specialty.
Interesting watermark on the first. Have you investigated archival handling for these? Is sandwiching a document as you describe archival practice?
Just the framing suggests that this is a recent repro. You want to look at it very closely with a magnifying glass. If you see a regular pattern...
Don't know if I should have bought this or not, because it looks quite new and it's clearly marked China. But it's crystalline glaze, and the...
Frequently this kind of composition represents the Rape of Europa. Rape in this case meaning "to carry off", the bull representing Zeus, and...

The side with the clock face will fold flat, but the mirror does not remain standing. You can see how it folds in the link clutteredcloset...
Not a lot of Dia de los Muertos in transferware, but it wouldn't surprise me to find Cinco de Mayo.
The clock is purely decorative. It backs the mirror. Definitely older. The owner said in the family circa 1900, and having handled it, I...
Yeah, this is small - the same size as the Rubylane one - about 2 ¼” high with a base about 1 ½” square. The pins are only about 1" long.
It's very interesting that you found another, but I can't see this as a sewing etui. A sewing etui would be better equipped with a variety of...
Here's something that I photographed in 2003 and asked about on the eBay boards back then. It never did belong to me. It’s a little oddity a...
Thomas Fell is listed in Godden with this mark (the impressed one). Momentarily I thought there might be a connection to an English maker named...
Separate names with a comma.
