Most items were new at retail and coming from Poland or Russia, and believe that the majority of larger items, like yours, are pressed amber pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]6525[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This cup/saucer/spoon set is from a seller in Torun, Poland, noting 'production' requiring 2-3 weeks: <a href="http://de.dawanda.com/product/15663638-Baltic-Amber-Tea-Set-Antique#product_description" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://de.dawanda.com/product/15663638-Baltic-Amber-Tea-Set-Antique#product_description" rel="nofollow">http://de.dawanda.com/product/15663638-Baltic-Amber-Tea-Set-Antique#product_description</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The Hermitage Museum shop has a number of amber holloware items, including the same cup as above, so maybe the Polish seller is getting it from Russia, or the museum shop is bringing in stock from Poland: <a href="https://www.hermitageshop.org/decoration/amber-ware/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.hermitageshop.org/decoration/amber-ware/" rel="nofollow">https://www.hermitageshop.org/decoration/amber-ware/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
