[QUOTE="Heironymous, post: 867201, member: 4819"]I hope someone can please help me with this beautiful jewelry box, in identifying at least the [I]era[/I] or round-about decade in which it was made — and firstly, what in the heck is this?? Opaline glass? — Frosted crystal? ... I’d say it’s hand-cut for sure. But I’m so uncertain about everything else that I’m questioning everything. [ATTACH=full]197787[/ATTACH] There is no maker’s mark nor artist’s signature on it anywhere that I have detected. It is a heavy, solid chunk. The trim is brass-plated and worn; thin to begin with. As you may view in this pic: [ATTACH=full]197788[/ATTACH] So does anyone know anything about this?? All I know is I think it’s beautiful in it’s simplicity of design — and that too makes me wonder “Deco?” ... but from when?? Help me out here, folks! Thanks![/QUOTE]
