The problem I have with oriental porcelain is that it is very difficult to be certain when an object was made and I doubt strongly that I will...
Ideas only: Initials of church roles Initials of grandparents Initials of towns/birthplaces Initials of siblings I dont think these initials are...
I think it is a penny whistle. Lockdales UK had a similar one in 2014 at an estimate of £30-50.
Absolute pain to package and ship the bigger domes :( Not a problem if buying/selling from a b & m shop
Totally right. We buy anything that looks interesting (and portable!) So that we can learn by researching items new to us. We make lots of...
Don't know why, perhaps it is the slightly muted colours, but I dont think it is antique, more 1950s-70s. Other than that, no idea!
Thanks both! Dont know why I had a mental block on this one, but I think you are both right.
This should have been easy but it has me baffled :( Help! [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Looks like studio pottery stoneware. Very difficult to identify unless there are makers marks to base or sides, and even then often not easy!...

Bear, I'll message you. Sold a similar one recently, it was why I bought the map lot.

[IMG] Didn't get the clock I wanted at the auction but here are a few of the bits and pieces we acquired. In value terms, and the most pricey by...
I'd make it a contest for couples to furnish a house with a stated inventory over a period of 30 days. Each given £10,000, contestants have to...
Ok af, if I get it I will avoid splitting it up. Odds on I will be outbid but who knows?
Will bid on it and use the online guide using Passmore to try to identify. If all else fails, there is always the option to split out the dome,...
Hi af, it is one I was going to bid on. It has the glass dome, prob original, and the pendulum is attached to the torsion spring at present. No...
Yes, they don't look like they are original to the clock. I hope the af will see this thread then he can educate both of us :)
Back plate is anonymous, pendulum weight looks like those used by Becker but don't know whether these were used in other clocks or whether this is...
The last two sets of Susie Cooper I bought I couldn't shift. Finally put them back into auction and took a hit :(
