[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 408243, member: 2844"]Which auction, Gianluca? Not all Catawiki auctioneers are knowledgeable, and you could have a problem with the buyer. You have been lucky with Leonor, she is good. But frankly I have stopped sending messages about serpentine and Peking glass listed as jade, 1980s Spanish tourist fans listed as highly collectible antique Duvelleroy fans, etc, etc.:banghead: Just yesterday I saw a rusty Moroccan tourist koummya (dagger) listed as a 19th century Javanese keris.:arghh: It didn't make the reserve price, for very obvious reasons, so it will surface again in a next auction. One of the reasons I still bid on Catawiki, is that some wrongly listed items are actually worth more than the 'expert' thinks.:cool:[/QUOTE]
