I can't give you any firm information - just my impression. I think it's hobbyist painted. The porcelain is probably German or Austrian. The name...
We have marbles come through the auction house here all the time but never anything really special. Usually they come in Ball jars and they tend...
Not off the wall at all. I'm not sure it was an individual but discrepancies you noted are exact the reasons I thought a different company might...
During this period Brush McCoy pieces were not marked as such but some pieces did have impressed mold numbers, not all but some. If you ever find...
I think 19th century is certainly plausible. The mirror images are especially nice and not something you see often. The unfinished back implies...
Actually, I think "Ridgways" is correct. I didn't realize I was confusing two different manufacturers. My autocorrect keeps trying to add an "e"...
Thank you, Debora!
Hello Board Friends - I can't quite read what the castle name is on this mustard pot. It measures about 4" tall with the lid and 4 1/4" across the...
I'm not sure you'll find a better attribution. If I was listing it I think I would title it something like "Beautiful Novy Bor Bohemia Vase in...

I like the black trim along the top. I don't recall seeing that type of finishing on modern Chinese pieces but there's isn't much modern art glass...
The following is a photo from Morton Potteries: 99 Years Volume 2 by Doris and Burdell Hall. The vase on the far right looks like Deb D's and the...
Sorry, forgot the second part of your question. The book estimates the bird mark as about 1890. I think that date fits with the shape and...
The CM mark is most likely Charles Martin. The bird mark is unidentified. Source is Collector's Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain by Mary Frank...
Still a very, very beautiful vase. I'd have snatched that up too.
My first thought was Anchor Hocking's Royal Ruby but I'm having trouble finding that exact collar to vase ratio. The crimp and color look right...
I'm not getting an EAPG vibe. The glass looks like it's very good quality (leaded?) and the detail is sharper than I would expect. Just wondering...
Lovely! For what it's worth they are not giving me a Waterford vibe. As for use - I suppose it's possible the base is actually a candleholder for...
