when did you get these........

 

A mix of swap-meet finds and online items:

This rather handsome (if not fussy) egg shaped candy dish. It says P.N.C.W. on the bottom, haven’t researched yet to see what company this could be. The cobalt glass piece slips out for easy cleaning.

An ashtray made out of what I’m guessing is quartz. Wonderfully heavy.

This little cameo pin that requires a little work to stabilize those pearls and keep the shell from sliding around the base. Marked 10k on the back.

Marked “STS” and 925. Was excited that the bracelet can slid to adjust to wrist sizes. Stones are all a little different. So far ruled out the quenched cracked quartz, they also don’t look synthetic.

Small garnet nuggets bracelet

A cameo locket. Unfortunately she is cracked but signed and I immensely liked the little compartment encased in glass on the back. I’ll post this one in the cameos thread.

10k gold ring with what I think is a citrine in the middle. Loved the teeny flowers.

A bypass ring of seed pearls and turquoise cabs. No marks but positive for 10k.

 

Nice Haul......I hope the bracelet is rubies !!!

 

Got some great postcards today at the stamp show. Don't have time to photograph them tonight so I will try to in the coming days.

 

It could be tourmaline too, but my fingers are crossed for rubies.

 

Made by New York based Progress Novelty Casting Works, believe they went out of business in the '60s. The design, which was also 'Made in Japan', was originally produced by Jennings Bros. - they did silverplated as well as gilt like mine, it's packed away but is like this one: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/jennings-brothers-cobalt-blue-glass-468955326

Hi there, new member here. This belonged to my grandfather. Some rumours about another table like this in the Taj mahal.....but probably just a myth. The label is only partly intact but is themed to the table. It is a fairly light wood. I would think it be from 20’s or 30’s but I look forward to hearing any possible information on this monkey table. It has spent most of its life in Toronto On.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @Swoop, and WELCOME to ANTIQUERS!! Neat little Monkey table, with nice carving!!!! I'm asking one of the Moderators to move this to the"FURNITURE" forum, you'll probably get more eyes on it and more informative comments!!! @daveydempsey, could you move this thread over there???? Thank you!!!!

 

Sharing a pic of what I think is a sweet little frisian ceramic vase I bought this past weekend ... I believe the technique is called 'kerfsnee'. Although it's damaged (and repaired), but I had to have it just to figure out what it was.

 

@quirkygirl That is very cool!!

 

Thanks! I thought it cool enough to break my no more cracked or broken pottery rule ... plus, it was only a buck

 

I would have done the same!

 

Thanks

 

That's blackmail money.....those tapes may have contained high born folks in compromising situations !!!!!!!!!!

" Bad Times at the El Royal " ......

 

that's pretty special !!
Where does it come from ???

 

I have a vase of Dutch “kerfsneewerk.” My Mom and Dad received it for a wedding present. I don’t think she liked it all that much, but I think it’s nice.

 

Found this Tran Mawicke portrait sketch for $3.99+ and a really sweet old large 19” slag panel lamp shade for $34.99+ both at the thrift on a non-production Monday.

 

Liberty & Co. sold similar tables in London, imported from Japan, they’re pictured in Daryl Bennett's book on Liberty furniture.
