I'll try to find a black light and report back. I do like how the design complements the stone or amber.
Thanks, Houseful. I *think* just kind of depression in the metal. I studied it with strong loop, sort of looked like a mountain range when held...
No marks. I'm not good at ID-ing stones, but had a friend who is a pretty serious rock collector over and I showed him this and he sort of...
Unmarked, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was silver, although maybe plated. My guess is that it's older, but what do you think? Was on a table...
The holes are pretty large, that's why I wondered if more like a muffineer, but the size is actually pretty similar to a med/large salt or pepper....
Ah, not a pig but a wolf! And for salt or pepper. Well found, Debora. Thanks!
This piece reminds me so much of something that would have been made in Germany early part of 20th century, unsigned, some numbers on base. It...
Just back. Great questions here! I checked, almost all of the ball holes except one are "dead-ends". The piece does not stand on it's own, so...
Thank you for the responses so far. :) So do I describe this as Netsuke if selling?
Any ideas on this? Google image found one close match (in a white material), a necklace on a California craigslist... maybe can post that link...
Vintage at a minimum. It's a bit more artistic than some with that texturing, so maybe 1940s-60s? See what others think. I like the border on...
Not sure what the purpose of this piece is. Is it a lid or something? To me it looks more 1980s, but that's just a guess. I like the glaze.
There are several of this model under "SOLD" on Ebay so you can get a good selling price estimate. Pen buyers are very picky about certain...
I think 1960s/70s for this. Not in an MCM way, more Hollywood Regency. Looks like it's been painted several times and kind of gloppy multi...
Only in Portland!
These Austin Production items are most often made with a material more like plaster. There might be certain ones that were metal, but the bulk...
If that first photo is from the piece, you can clearly see the Pol Chambost signature! What a great looking vase!
I quite like the first piece that similar to the Etsy link. Unlike anything I've seen in the states. Charming. Also LOVE the iris glass one. :)
I played it at 1.75x speed. Worked great!
I have a pair of Sorelli earrings I got at a nice sale a few years ago. Also hadn't heard of the brand, but the quality got me looking them up....
