Weren't saucers much larger then?

 

I LOVE the print!!!!! GORGEOUS!!!!!

 

Just looked up a 1st size Sevres saucer of approx same date and it was 15.3cm (6.1 inches).

 

Yeah... but now you have to find the cup!

 

Matching, of course!!

 

This is actually solid silver.

But I doubt I'll ever figure out the weak mark

 

Yeah, Terry - that mark is a mess.

 

But at $10.50, SCORE. It doesn't even matter if that was Pounds, Euro, or dollars.

 

Went to the Ill Will today. Found zilch. Went to a second hand store. Nada. Took some trade goods to an "antiques and treasures" place and...bingo. BIG honkin lapis beads with a likely sterling clasp, and a Victorian Revival brass and glass necklace. Zero cash outlay and I traded stuff I didn't know what to do with anyway.

 

These are the decoist monos I've ever seen

 

Russian silver? Russian Deco silver? Cool.

 

Estonian, actually. 1924-1939 And very cool!

Sweet. I found some 19th century Latvian once. No one alas collects Latvian silver much.

 

Good score on the silver terry!
Love that victorian necklace evelyb30
here are some goodies I've found this week - ivory dragon cigarette holder, 2 Russian (?) enamel open salts, a bracelet, I'll start a help thread on it, and what I think is a document or file box of some sort.

 

Cx, love the cigarette holder and the open salts!

 

The salts are Soviet, silverplate on nickel silver, mid 20th century to recent.

thanks pat!
Thanks for the information Cheryl, looks like there are quite a few out there.

 

I found this wall hanging, made of shells, among my mother's things. I started a thread to ask about it, and thought I'd also share it here since I think it's a neat find.

 

Here's an old spinning top. Anyone have any idea how old it might be?

 

Wow, lovely! And the price was right.
