    looks even better cleaned up:) did you have a bit of turquoise for the replacement piece or did you do your magic and make it from something else?

    That thing is NICE. I wouldn't expect to see something like that here for much under $150, so $30 (26 Euros currently - ran it through a converter) is just about stealing.

    Wonder whether the snowflake on the bottom constitutes a kind of signature?

    I don't know how that happened, but I wouldn't complain about paying 6 euro shipping on it either. :p:p:p

    I don't think so, rather a decor with a popular decorative motif of the time:)

    The engraved snowflake in a circle would make a nice pendant.

    The motif is an octofoil/double quatrefoil - snowflakes don't have 8 (or 4, 5 or 10) points, always 6, or occasionally 1, 2, 3, or 12 points. Can still remember my Mom telling me that when I was a little girl, and teaching me how to cut out hexagonal folded paper snowflakes...

    Hi Cheryl,
    I still cut out snowflakes for decorations. My nephews loved to see me whip out my scissors and produce snowflakes.

    Me too, or three. I like decorating the light fixture in the dining room with them. Pretty and they don't weigh much.

    No, only a reflection/texture:sorry:
    Thanks for spotting!:kiss:
    The only mark is a part of a lozenge maker's mark:

    And of course, if it's French or Portuguese no one can read the mark....

    Yep, small and not totally struck:facepalm:
    Plus, it is not in the usual areas:banghead:
    But as a lozenge shape, it is French :joyful:
