<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 264269, member: 2844&quot;]Do you mean the casket or the blue glass?</p><p><br /></p><p>Just an aside, not everyone outside Continental Europe knows the term Biedermeier.</p><p>Biedermeier is a Continental European stylistic period between 1815 and 1848. Mainly in, but not confined to, the German speaking countries.</p><p>The term Biedermeier is also used in The Netherlands, so a Dutch auction house would use it. We never say Georgian, Victorian, etc. unless an item was made in Britain or her colonies, or to clarify something when speaking English. And for French items, we use the French period terms, etc, etc.</p><p>Sometimes the term Biedermeier is used to refer to the style, even if an item was made after 1848. Just like Baroque, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
