[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 259073, member: 2844"]I agree with Obb on the glass, the name jade glass is often used. I wouldn't call it jadeite, because that specifies a certain kind of real jade. I am thinking this could be a marriage, look at the lower rim of the silver top. The verdigris can happen on silver as well, because of the copper content. If the sword is a Dutch one, it looks most like the more recent swords, more 'knobbly' and with a smaller hilt, on the left in this picture: [ATTACH=full]80840[/ATTACH] But that seems inconsistent with the older look of the cap. Belgium also used a sword, 1831-1869. I'll see if I can find a proper picture.[/QUOTE]
