I am trying to research a small silver bowl for a friend. I welcome any kind of help at all... It is stamped on the bottom with the marks pictured...
OK, here is the other carved wood consignment I mentioned before. Y'all came up with good useful info on that one, what can you tell me about...
I agree.
My best uneducated guess was also Indonesian/Polynesian regions. ... Yes, tongue out, but mouth kinda duck-bill shaped, too.
I groan every time a consignor pulls out carved wood piece. Although they are interesting, they are a huge challenge for me. People all over Earth...
Yes, that appears to be them. They do have hammered pieces, and bowls with various figural handles.
I have this sweet hammered sterling bowl with snake handles, marked, "URART 925 1892". So far, about all I have found on URART is a Turkish...
I do usually state when items are consignments, but I still don't like to look too ridiculous, as I don't want to cast doubts on my other listings...

Yes, I had forgotten there were marks - but they aren't much help to me. I don't even know which way they should be oriented. Well, on the long...
I'm inclined to agree with all you said. The owner already admitted he didn't know what they are. He does think they are "old" - but that's not...
That's plausible...
I like Asian arts, but don't know enough about them. This pair of ceramic figures is another consignment, but I don't know enough specifics about...
Would this be the "mistletoe" design?
Thank you, thank you, thank you, ad infinitum! I LOVE to learn, and there is a great wealth of knowledge being shared here. God bless you, every one!
YAY! Now, one last question - How many "Best Answers" can I award? :)
You are confirming Weller Sicard? I've been looking at examples of that, and it certainly looks like a good call. Most of them I saw were signed,...
Today my favorite consignor laid a couple more puzzles on me, so I'll offer this one up to the puzzle-masters on this board... We have a pottery...
