  1. Almost reminds me of Mochaware, don't know if that's the right mark though
  2. They don't make sets with one in gold and the other in filled, they're either both gold or both filled. Does it have 14k on it anywhere? It not, its not gold..
  3. Doesn't look like sterling at all... I think its rusting...
  4. Nope. Whenever you see "Silver Manufacturing Company" or "Silver Co." or anything other than Sterling or 800, its not silver. They try to trick people by marking pieces "Silver Manufacturing Company."...
  5. Its an "eye-dazzler" as they are called
  6. That's worth a lot of money
  7. Its a Barbini, 50's-60's
  8. Well you can take as many photographs of them as you want, but it won't somehow make them something other than dust... Those orb photographs have been recreated using dust and insects at certain di...
  9. Yes, sometimes when the distance and lighting is just right, the camera will capture pieces of dust as circular white dots. Also pieces of dust on the lens will do that too, pieces too small to see. T...
  10. 'Murano' Might be Czech though
  11. Well there you go, Mikimoto is very desirable too, especially the gold pieces. Its worth a good deal
  12. I did a Google search and I don't see any Chinese dolls with that netting around the neck with beads hanging off. The specific type of top I am not finding either. Are you sure its traditional Pauline?
  13. Heck if I know what a Chinese doll/woman looks like, but I knew it wasn't Japanese.
  14. Yeah Pauline I said nothing on her was traditional for a GEISHA, which are Japanese, not Chinese.
  15. Its just a little Japanese okimono, they make lots of small animals like this out of various materials. Very collectible
  16. Think about bone for a minute... Bones are hollow, right? There are no animal bones that could be this thick Its definitely a chunk of ivory Sometimes Schreger lines are not visible, especially whe...
  17. Yeah, maybe 1920's-40's, around there This is the only kind of Mexican pottery I buy, the attractive, heavily-decorated stuff like this
  18. Whoops, I meant jasper
  19. Probably some kind of agate
  20. Is it old?
  21. Aww don't cry..
  22. Its a souvenir from Italy, sometimes they have Catholic prayers or women or stuff. I've had really old ones before
  23. I think I recognize this ledge from eBay, haha! I've seen some nice lamps sitting there for sale on eBay. Hey, I saw that you wrote about how it pays to buy the books to study, would you be able to...
  24. Check this out, they sold for $16,250 a while ago, but I'm sure you found this already. Were these yours? http://www.wright20.com/auctions/view_search/OI5A/OI5B/361/LA/lamp/
  25. Would be a great decorative piece, don't you think?
  26. Yeah I have to agree with PhilDavid, $5-700. Its definitely gorgeous, but this style is not very "in" at the moment.
  27. I'd say 50's too
  28. Definitely Mexican, almost reminds me of Fantasia ware. Its actually a nice old piece, the decoration is very attractive and its got some age. Would look great in a Southwestern home
  29. His pieces are all marked with his name or initials, and they are all cast instead of stamped like this. The gold/pearl pieces are from a certain era and all seem to have the same 5-6 hallmarks that I...
  30. Well you don't have to apologize, I'm just thinking how much trouble and time I could have saved myself over the years spent trying to find three letters on the back of a sterling brooch. There are ve...
  31. Its not a bad thing though, Hubbell-bead pieces are collectible
  32. There were billions of jewelry manufacturers over the years, its nearly impossible to find pieces like this. Wouldn't really affect value either
  33. But its completely different from his known work, different style, different subject matter, different colors... Different country even, he lived in France
  34. Look up "hubbell beads." Yeah... That's definitely what it is. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1930s-ARTS-CRAFTS-HUBBELL-BEAD-SILVER-BROOCH-4-ARIZONA-ESTATE-FRED-HARVEY-/151046635514?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&...
  35. Yeah that A is definitely alpaca. Those little Mexican bracelets are always made of alpaca
  36. Yeah, around 1960's-70's. The stones actually appear to be Hubbell glass
  37. Max Neiger brooches are in the mid to high hundreds
  38. Yeah its really valuable...
  39. Yeah I'd say so, Fantoni is good stuff, the larger pieces can be valuable
  40. Haha, was that a dig?
  41. Very very weird
  42. I did a Google search on a hunch that I had, and I was right... You're not going to believe this.......... The cane you have is made from the penis of a bull. http://www.rauantiques.com/item/Bul...
  43. Almost looks like a bent narhwal tusk, but its not twisted like a candy cane. Is it? I can't tell
  44. Def not ivory. Elephant tusks are huge and weigh hundreds of pounds Do you know how to tell if its bone? Look for pores
  45. Its a Fantoni, there used to be leather on the bottom, looks like its rotting Fantoni was an Italian artist, Mid Century
  46. Pewter's not magnetic, and its so thin that it wouldn't attract a magnet anyway. Its hard to tell what it is from the photos, looks different in each one
  47. Yeah ideally it should stand on its merits, but a lot of the time the merit comes from the person who created it, you know? And I guess I really like identifying unmarked pieces, I get so much satisfa...
  48. Someone tell us what this is! I'm dying to know
  49. Its the Buddha
  50. All I can tell you is that its not Asian
