Good call, spot on. In addition, it's not actually a painting, but rather a mechanically reproduced image made for decoration purposes.
Rather creepy I'd say.
Susan, spot on. 1960's at the earliest. Decorative value.
Thank you Mark and yes you are correct. This item would be a serigraph.
I agree, looks like a silkscreen lithograph. Nice image.
This is an interesting thread that caused me to reflect on my own behavior. I've been a longtime student and collector in a few distinct areas...
Scapolite is not valuable but is a nice looking gem and is a gem that few people own. Unique.
The ring's not too old but still old enough that the stone could be Scapolite (if your fortunate) but is more likely glass.
I believe it to be modern, 1970's-present, Chinese motif, probably made in Taiwan or Macau. Decorative more than collectible. It's ok to scrub it...
Pretty little vase, great colors. I don't see a Chinese influence unless it's modern.
I agree with the first two stone IDs, the third looks to me like Bloodstone.
A photo might help.
I suspect the photo is upside down. I think it should be right side up when hinged up to share with others. A memory broach. Not sure if it honors...
The photos cut off too much of the front, back and scroll to allow for a good photo evaluation. Also need a full length side view, top of scroll...
I'm thinking Japanese.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but there are fake 50s and 100s that pass the pen test and also have the embedded strip. I only accept 20s...
Definitely Japanese Hand painted enamel Early 1900s seems correct
rink, every print is a copy of an original. Only the original work is original. Signed and numbered Limited edition Touched up Artist proof...
Can't help with the marks but I think it's Japanese.
These days we need to be cautious even when accepting cash. A couple from WA state have been passing fake $100 bills and buying off of Craigslist....
Separate names with a comma.
