A lace crochet king size bedspread from the early 1900’s or late 1800’s. Was my grandmothers but I’m not sure if she got it from her ancestors or not. My family has been in Texas for centuries not including those who married American Indian upon their arrival to Texas several centuries ago. Thus this is a Texas bedspread.
Hoove footed quadruple plate, butter, cheese dish. Can I figure out the maker because the mark is so worn down or it was never stamped properly I have tried to find one like it and had no luck so was wondering if someone may know the value it is engraved on the front and it says to Fannie I think and then grandma on the otherside update based on other signature marks I think it’s a Wilcox silver
I don't know a thing about this, and I want to figure out exactly what this is since a family member asked me about it. I don't remember how long we've had it for, but they mentioned it's an antique, so I'm using this in case someone who reads this can point out something concrete so I can identify if it's really antique or just a fancy fork design. Hopefully the photo quality isn't too bad.
Looking for help dating/pricing/identifying this piece. Beautifully hand painted, measuring approximately 33x20cm (13x8inches), 1.95kg including the lid. The lid itself broke at the very top and was glued back together by the previous owner - pictures included. Other than that, in excellent condition.
I suspect it is a Dresden, Helena Wolfsohn piece, although I was unable to find any similar in terms of color (cobalt) or the chosen scene (cherub). Possibly early 1800s? Mark is a blue crown underscored by a capital "D", seemingly below the glaze.
Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
