Very similar to this bronze on Dealsan. Don’t know if it’s left to right though, maybe that’s where you saw it?

 

google search: "the vaquero" bronze seated

return Daniel Monfort

 

thanks jivvy , i do now know that mark lol it's on another piece i have stored away, that i just seen on ebay , hats off to you .

 

more ceramics , bought this pair of ceramic (picasso style lol) made in mexico , rams heads for a $1.00 each

 

Victorian gold spider brooch, i think marked 15 on the pin, two tiny diamonds for eyes and an opal body. Bought with a small pile of scrap so it was basically free. Just in time for halloween.

 

Wow, lovely!

 

A few pieces for pennies from the rummage. The cross necklace may be amber, the little bee is likely Sphinx as it has a letter followed by 4 numbers.

 

And the other one is tiger's eye.

 

Normally I like the beauty of tigers eye but this necklace is a bit cavewomany for me.

 

It's a style that was popular for a while. Are the engraved bits Indian silver? Persian?

 

It’s a cutie and a keeper for sure. I’m super surprised it was in a scrap pile!

 

The pots are brass, here’s better pics. No country of origin on the bases just these marks.
Think the bigger one is older, I just assumed they were Indian.

 

So first I found Mama crow at the thrift. (Repeat of picture from a few days ago)


At the GW yesterday and found baby:

 

love those crows Lucille

 

They are from Restoration Hardware. What is nice is the large one has a clear label, baby does not, but having the two can see they are the same maker. RH made a medium sized one, too. Heading over to GW, we'll see. Keeping these for a little while, anyway...

Side note, family member said the first one was "a bit scary" looking, but then when baby came along two days later, it "no longer looked scary", lol. If you look at the two pics back to back --funny, but you almost have to agree!

 

they would make great yard art, especially with Halloween approaching

 

Maybe she was a little po'd that her baby was MIA.

 

hey guys and gals i have a question about a hand bag that you might know the maker of there is no name on it but i can see it's vintage , it's black on the back and diamond shaped like an LV's on the front ,but there is like the montreal emblems instead, it is marked made in england . i didn't buy it or have a camera with me . Any idea's ? kinda like this

 

Finds of my week: This tea strainer spoon courtesy of a thrift. I’m thinking tin or something of the like since it doesn’t have a silver stamp of any kind but it does have a mark on the back of the neck that looks like “p & a”. Super cute and functional once I get it cleaned up.

Next came from an estate sale on my way home from work today: Pearl bracelet, rather chunky sterling clasp. Pearls usually aren’t for me but I can’t pass up cute & cheap ($3).

Pearl necklace w/14K clasp this time ($5). The necklace pearls are a little less perfect vs the pearls on the bracelet but they still hold a beautiful weight and look.

This one wasn’t as cheap at $60 but I loved the opals & garnet combo. One wee opal does have a crack but I’m not put off by flaws. Wasn’t till it arrived (etsy purchase) that I saw a little grocery list of marks on the inner band. I’ll be asking the Joolies for help soon.

 

Looks like Paye & Baker mark. I don't think they did plate.
