I've got an old wooden wash basin. The wooden circle that the bowl sits in locks together. its got an oval shaped mirror and two candle stick holders. The only thing i dont have anymore is the glass pitcher and bowl.
I am interested in purchasing this bookcase, but I don't know anything about the piece. My friend's great-grandmother owned this bookcase and she was Italian. My friend doesn't want to keep the bookcase, and I want to buy it but neither of us know how much it is worth or really anything about it. The outside drawer looks like it is made of slate, and the inside hosts tiles with windmill themes.
I have a hand painted vase and have unbale to identify the maker. The vase stands approx. 12" tall and is approx. 5" diameter at the widest point. There is considerable gold detailing and all the decorations are hand painted. The mark is impressed and reminds me of a Griffin, Smith & Hill mark, but to my knowledge their marks never had a hexagon like this one. The vase is in very good condition, there are 2 flea bites and overall crazing. I am guessing this is a mid-to late 19th century piece, but again I am not certain. A full apprasial would be great, but what I am most interested in is discovering who made this vase! Can you help me? Thanks!
