  1. Would be a great decorative piece, don't you think?
  2. Yeah I have to agree with PhilDavid, $5-700. Its definitely gorgeous, but this style is not very "in" at the moment.
  3. I'd say 50's too
  4. 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
  5. 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...
  6. 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...
  7. Its not a bad thing though, Hubbell-bead pieces are collectible
  8. There were billions of jewelry manufacturers over the years, its nearly impossible to find pieces like this. Wouldn't really affect value either
  9. But its completely different from his known work, different style, different subject matter, different colors... Different country even, he lived in France
  10. 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&...
  11. Yeah that A is definitely alpaca. Those little Mexican bracelets are always made of alpaca
  12. Yeah, around 1960's-70's. The stones actually appear to be Hubbell glass
  13. Max Neiger brooches are in the mid to high hundreds
  14. Yeah its really valuable...
  15. Yeah I'd say so, Fantoni is good stuff, the larger pieces can be valuable
  16. Haha, was that a dig?
  17. Very very weird
  18. 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...
  19. Almost looks like a bent narhwal tusk, but its not twisted like a candy cane. Is it? I can't tell
  20. Def not ivory. Elephant tusks are huge and weigh hundreds of pounds Do you know how to tell if its bone? Look for pores
  21. Its a Fantoni, there used to be leather on the bottom, looks like its rotting Fantoni was an Italian artist, Mid Century
  22. 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
  23. 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...
  24. Someone tell us what this is! I'm dying to know
  25. Its the Buddha
  26. All I can tell you is that its not Asian
  27. No sweat Ron, you reacted the way most people would. I get criticized here a lot for being blunt, but I always feel like I'd want someone to be that way if it were me, you know? I would just want to k...
  28. Yes its very attractive, I would have bought it too. Someone who obviously had artistic experience. What do we do with all this unsigned studio pottery? I have dozens of pieces of nice studio potte...
  29. Yeah its milk glass. Milk glass is basically white glass, its not like a special brand or anything. Looks like an older piece too. Denture tabs usually work for me on things like this
  30. Yeah it looks like Julianna at first glance but it isn't, since the navettes are different colors.
  31. If the mould lines don't match, that means it was made in two pieces. Is that like a pewter or silvering?... I can't tell what the coating is made of. Is it metallic?Very, very strange. Probably a goo...
  32. That's pretty neat, I'd bet its a studio piece and not a high-school ceramics class job
  33. Thanks Zowie, yeah I don't find much of this kind of thing at estate sales anymore, definitely a keeper
  34. You can ask questions about things if you want, if you were wondering about anything in particular
  35. Well you never seem to have specific questions about the things you post, I was just wondering why you put so much effort into it if its just to show random people
  36. Sure its gold? The vast majority of that stuff is 1/20 GF Is it marked 14K?
  37. Its artificial patina by the way, it was made to look like that
  38. Are you just showing it to us, do you want its history, value, what do you want? You never explain in your posts, you just kinda dump it here..
  39. Whoa, that's REALLY interesting... .........WEIRRRRRRRRRD
  40. Thanks Amber, yeah I'm doing pretty well lately, I hope the picking gods are smiling on you too!
  41. Good lord, that is exquisite.......... I don't think mines by Yabu Meizan unfortunately, its not as high quality God... That's the most incredible thing I've seen in a long time, I'm speechless... ...
  42. I think you're right Bratjdd, Shuzan was high on my list of possibilities for this one, its about as close a match to the top character as I've been able to find
  43. Thanks Bratjdd!
  44. Does the bottom look like it has no wear on it? Or is it really scratched up?
  45. It look a lot like Fukugawa ware Sorry, I don't have time to compare marks right now, but that's something to go on for you
  46. A Manet?? U crazy It might be the Spanish equivalent of those paintings of Venetian street scenes that people brought back from Italy in the 60's and 70's. You know, something "Spanish-looking" to ...
  47. Yeah I'd definitely say Japanese, sorry I can't be of more help though Its probably pretty collectible stuff
  48. Wow I really like that That's really, really neat! Looks Japanese to me too I've never seen anything similar before
  49. Yeah I agree with Amber, it looks like Truled or Truliel. You know what can help sometimes? Rub flour into it. Yeah it sounds stupid, but it really makes it easier to make out.
  50. They take a flat piece of metal and rock it from side to side. VERY VERY labor intensive, so it wasn't done for very long It was probably heat-treated if it is a Cairngorm. The hue is very deep
