It is very similar in shape to Chinese wine bottles.v U don't know what kind of wine the Chinese made/make.
I think it has a matte glaze. I would leave it alone. It would be fairly obvious, and worn gilding, although not desirable, is not a huge...
AJ has it. REALLY fast. And I also like the stand. I think mine's mahogany. I'll post a photo later.
Ya gotta love a committed (and I mean that in the best sense!) collector. Your finds are lovely, and you have created rooms of lovely things.
Gee, I got one sitting on my (lonely) piano now! It's not that old -- got it in the early 60s, but the shape is the same, it's a wind-up...
Oh, and can I say that it was wonderful to have such a clear description with dimensions and great, sharp detailed photos!
Well, Sweden is right below Norway. Nice table and I agree with Any Jewelry that it's a game table. Does have a bit of a Biedermeier look to it.

Dunno if it's still a thing, but black Americans were buying "black Americana" pieces like the mammy jars, and the statues of black boys dressed...
I read Little Black Sambo when I was a kid and really enjoyed it. I remember that he seemed like a happy, fun kid and not once thought anything...
One of the most copied marks around, so caution is the word. Pretty hefty price IMHO.
No joy here -- I haven't seen that mark before. I don't know if you saw this one via Google, but it is a similar shape to yours and they reckon...
Ack! Sorry to hear this! Take care and take pain meds! Also, my only word of advice is to follow all the physiotherapy advice and exercises after...
I know nothing, but the molding of the Santa on the right seems crisper than the other Santa and angel. Also the cap colour is different and the...
That was my thought. Cute.
Sweet. My guess is Chinese and 20th c somewhere. The foot rim doesn't look deliberately aged to me -- maybe kiln dirt.
Well, that does look similar and is in line with what I thought: Austrian. The particular colour palette (blush/ivory) and floral design is...
Sure it's Chinese and not Korean?
