He/she who dies with the most stuff wins, right? Hey, I have to rationalize it some way or seek therapy. I have an art collection web site, devoted mostly to paintings.

  1. Thank you for your comments, Jenni! These are very unusual objects. Thank you, Kevin, Drake47, rgrebov, dav2no1, Bronmar, Reise, GianaMZ, Merrill33, Leelani, vcal, mikelv85, Jenni, fortapache and V...
  2. Rotate the mark 90 degrees counter clockwise to orient it correctly. The bottom character means "kiln" or pottery, so the entire mark denotes a kiln not a specific artist/potter. Too character too dif...
  3. Very cool!
  4. Not sure what country you are in. I checked the Pottery Marks Project and found nothing. https://www.themarksproject.org/artist-index/f?page=1
  5. Looks faux, Maybe vynil?
  6. Thank you, Bronmar!
  7. Waffling on whether these are hand painted. Images are inconclusive. Don't see a lot of variation in thickness of the lines and only one example of the mark... If important, need to see more data. Pro...
  8. Yes, Japanese. I don't think they are very old, post WWII I think. Vintage is a pretty nebulous term, 20-99 years old, etc., so I don't think that is a meaningful descriptor in this case. Nice but not...
  9. A bit small for rice bowls, a bit large to be sauce/dipping bowls, but if I had to choose, I would guess bowls for dipping. Rims do not appear to be great for drinking from so probably not tea bowls. ...
  10. Based on the size and configuration of the lid, it appears to be a tureen: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tureen Very nice one, great glaze. Deserves to be out of the garden and put to use. A G...
  11. Similar on ebay: https://tinyurl.com/k5tk3d62 Probably not Native American.
  12. 9/514....not_ 9/515.... Is the mirror 30" x 46"? Just confirming that the tag goes with the mirror. Other side of the tag in bad shape. Might be able to read more by tweaking the image with some imag...
  13. Thank you, rgrebov!
  14. Dimensions and images of the bottom and interior might be helpful... Maybe a side view?
  15. Thank you for the cup luv, dav2no1, Merrill33, DejaVu2, mikelv85, Jenni, fortapache, vcal and Vynil33rpm!
  16. Frames frequently get reused and the hardware holding the painting in the frame appears to be new and modern style hardware, to boot. Unless the writing on the frame can be attributed to a specific ar...
  17. Reminds me, I need to order some assorted nails....
  18. Looks like silver plate. The collars might be some sort of silver or alloy. You get to show one more image so can we see the back of one of the forks? Higher resolution images of the handles might be ...
  19. Thank you, Leelani, basdgl and Reise!
  20. Thank you, Leelani and rgrebov!
  21. Thank you, Bronmar, Merrill33 and vcal!
  22. Thanks for checking out my sake set, Bronmar, GianaMZ, Drake47, Merrill33, BHIFOS, JJansen, PhilDMorris and vcal!
  23. Thanks for the pot luv, Kevin, Vynil33rpm, dav2no1, fortapache, sherrilou, basdgl, DejaVu2, mikelv85, PhilDMorris and Jenni!
  24. Thanks for your comments, Jenni! I was surprised to see the gold leaf in these pieces. I am not sure how much hand work went into these pieces. "Sasaki Crystal" was a product line of Sasaki and before...
  25. Looks like the first name "Sara" to me...
  26. Dimensions? Height? Diameter?
  27. Sorry for the slow response, Karen! These flasks and cups do have a great feel and are a pleasure to use and drink from.
  28. A neighbor squeezed a 454 into a blue one of these. It vibrated so badly that all you could see was a blue blur when it was running.
  29. Generic Kutani mark, kiln unknown.
  30. Thank you, Bronmar!
  31. Thanks, Luxelifecollectibles!
  32. Beautiful piece, Jenni, and a big hunk of glass.
  33. That would be my guess. The matte pontil mark is a clue. Maybe "newish", however, as the workmanship is a bit crude and the Chinese have been cranking out better stuff in the past decade or so..
  34. Thanks for checking out my cup, Reise!
  35. A beauty! Welcome to CW. You can display up to four images, so side views and closeups would be appreciated!
  36. Belated thanks, jscott0363!

  40. Thank you, Merrill33!
  41. Thank you, GianaMZ!
  42. Thank you, prettymollie and Falcon61!
  43. A jeweler could probably tell you what the metal and stones are for a small fee, or maybe for credit you tell them it is for charity.
  44. Thank you, Kevin!
  45. Thanks, Jenni!
  46. Thank you, Blammoammo!
  47. Thanks, Blammoammo!
