My mum bought this piece back in the early 90s from overseas using US dollars. The piece is in Indonesia now and we don’t know where it was acquired from and how much as my mum has passed away recently. Currently, the investigation about the character of the figurine is still ongoing as I don’t know where the character is from and where the piece is produced. I call it, “Herr Hamburg” or “El amigo” for the fun of it and because the piece could be depicting a German Lansknechte or a Spanish conquistador
14 piece tea set made by Nippon. There are five cups and six saucers, plus a sugar bowl, creamer and a tea pot. The underside of each piece is marked with a letter 'M' inside a wreath with the words "Hand Painted". The pieces are gold trimmed with pink and green flowers.
I believe you would call this a hutch. It was given to me from a good friend so I know nothing about it. It’s heavy, all one pice and 6ft tall and 5ft wide.
Folding table, stamped "Made by Paris Mfg. Co., Paris, ME, USA, No. 13." The top does not have ruler markings, so this is not the sewing table version. Dimensions are 19"h x 29"w x 18"d. There has been repair to one deck brace, as the wood is no longer anchored by the original hardware in the original holes. One leg brace is split. The original slide mechanism on the center underside of the deck is also missing and has been replaced. The deck itself is separating at the manufactured joint.
I think this is from early 1900's but I can't find anything like it online. Wondering what the use of it is. Found a picture from a website that shows the outline of it and the backstamp. http://www.laurelhollowpark.net/tst/TSTartchina.html
