Cool ashtray I found for a couple bucks. It weighs at least ten pounds. I don't know much about glass it kind of looked like Murano but I may be completely wrong.it measures 7 1/2" across ,4" tall and over an inch thick. Their is no markings at all.

 

Found in that these items and more have been in a box for some time marked Kitchen. Given there were other things kitchen related in there as well.

I don't see the usual color through the candlestick to convince me it's Milk Glass.

The cool chopstick set is a days' old acquisition.

Anyone have any input on all these please?

@LIbraryLady Some would recommend a paste of the hydrogen peroxide and ...baking soda? You can use the drugstore stuff, but the concentrated version from a beauty supply place would work better.

@KingofThings - that Enoch Wedgwood mark was registered in 1880

OH! Thanks!
Seems that could go back to 1862 with TRADE MARK added!
Is that correct?

What is that in the design? A ribbon?

Any clue of value in this condition?

 

That is an awesome turtle chopstick set!

 

Never seen such a thing and no clue how old...or not.

Probably going to part with it though.

Mahogany?

 

Got this for 8 bucks today - someone has done a hatchet job at re-gluing and re-upholstering it. It's going to be my new project

Label or marks?

 

Someone had a similar set on ruby lane but it sold - you can see the pictures via google image search:

I miss you guys. I can't say I haven't found anything worth posting, but I am overwhelmed cleaning out my uncle's house, barn, and shed. Lots of guy stuff, old tools, some crocks, nautical stuff (gave it to my cousin), found a duplicate set of WWII medals, and upstairs we found my grandmother's china and glassware which I will have to upload pictures for you to see. Not much, but her china dates to about 1920, McNichols pattern Carnation. I am not much for glassware, but she had this set sitting on top of her china cabinet (also in the house, but can't find the shelves, driving me crazy) that I always loved. I will show you it, I have identified what it was, excited! Family took what they wanted, but I still have so much that my brother and I are probably going to have a barn sale in November.

 

Thank you!
Couldn't get the price and what makes it 'vintage'???

 

HI!!!!!

 

Similar on eBidet for $25 including shipping.

 

Made in Denmark - and - Jong Stole (I think).

 

Also found this oddity today - "Special Air Freshener" in english and french. Font looks 60's ish to me? Anyone seen these before?

I think that transfer pattern, as shown, is upside down. It's a flowering tree (Prunus it would be called) with stylized ribbon entwined in the branches.

It's not the most dramatic example, but the influence is Japanese - Japonism - so 1870s or so ought to be about right.

 

Thrift store. With a bunch of old machine made American ones.
