Italian maybe? Some other bits were.

 

I knew I had seen one like this! It is a Zellique Studio paperweight. In Benecia Cailfornia

 

Bingo! The sale price has to be a lot lower than Lalique, but at least now we know whodunnit.

 

A few things from the table top sale today. Bit missing from the japanese necklace which I can mend, couple of stones missing from the double clip brooch. Hallmarked 9 ct gold pearl pendant, maybe the chain too. Really cute celluloid scout hat and boots. £5 for everything, whoops the other pic is too big so I'll re photo.

 

Lovely! I like owl bookends.

 

Nice ID for @evelyb30 !

 

Looks like the damascene has a bad case of rust.

 

There are a few spots especially where there’s a lost piece but I’ve cleaned it up a bit, it was filthy, can see Mount Fuji now.

 

Looks like there are still areas that look like rust maybe it is just "dirt",you do know that the black surface is steel.

 

great id on this KikoBlueEyes

 

great finds houseful

 

No I didn’t know, I thought it was some sort of composite with the silver and gold laid on top. Thanks for the info.

 

Thanks, I really like seeing everyone else’s, especially the jewellery.

 

Thank you. I learn so much from the members of this forum and I wanted to pay back a little. I have two of these molten glass covered paperweights from two different artists (Grant Randolph Studios and Stuart Abelman) and had spent endless amounts of time until I tracked them down. While mine aren't the quality of Orient and Flume or Lundberg, they are nice in their own right. I saw so many of these types when I was looking and knew I had seen these Zellique Studios ones before - this is a trademark kind of piece. I just didn't remember at first.

 

Here are some of my finds from the past few weeks
1957 & 1985 editions of How The Grinch Stole Christmas (keepers for me), box of Osram candle lights with extra bulbs, cardboard donkey and cart with wood wheels, I think a candy container, a great book 'A Century of New York City Christmas Windows', a very cool metal cat clock, I was going to sell it but since it fits on the wall I'm keeping it. Has a label on the back but I couldn't find anything on it, a walking stick with a pool cue inside, the chalk is inside the ball top - I believe a souvenir from Japan, has a dragon carved on the body.

 

a few more finds
Nils Olsson Dala, Nativity from Germany - looks like it caught on fire, good reminder to never leaves burning candles unattended and a sweet little musical jewelry box with dancing ballerina, plays Swan Lake

 

Crowdsourcing at its finest!

 

Good job! It looks very nice

 

It's Japanese damascene, of course, possibly Amita made.
