Yup, little cup hooks. It's bigger than it looks in the photo: about eighteen inches. Someone will like it, I suspect. None of that lot cost...
Nothing wildly exciting yesterday, but these aren't bad: the music box is Sorrento Ware, the umbrella stand is cast iron and the miniature dresser...

Verlys, maybe, but it's not typical of them and I can't see the siggie that well.

Roaches. Trust me on this.
Definitely not Orrefors or any quality Scandi maker. That's moulded for one thing, rather than hand blown with a nice polished base. Could be...
Not any more. Chinese labour rates have raised massively, which is why so many sweatshops are now in places like Bangladesh. They're also very...
Is it a European seven?
I think it's an Ood.
There's some pretty decent weights coming out of China. Always were.
