bought this from an estate with a few other pieces, I believe it's German Airforce, asked a few other collectors about it and tried to get a value, paint is worn and Leather a little dry inside of belt on brown side, but leather is sound.
My dad picked this up at a flea market a while a go and while I found another case with a similar mark on this site, no one could really figure out the origin. All I know is that it's most probably not from Meissen.
This is an interestimg piece. I'm not sure whether to call it a table or a trunk. It is flat on the top when closed but it does open & has ample storage space inside. It has 3 rows of tacks- appx. 1/4" apart- 1 on the lid & 2 on the main body. Each corner is a carved elephant head and the front legs of the elephant extend down to make the legs of the table. The trunks curl upward and have a metal piece the legnth of the trunk attached. It appears each head is removable but I have refrained from doing that. The hasp looks as if it may have been altered- I believe to at one time gain access, but it is the original piece. The heads all appear to be the same but because they are hand made there are subtle or slight differences. It has metal handles at each end. It is made of an unidentified light or blond wood. It is somewhat heavy. There is no material or liner on the inside storage area. The heads, trunks & legs appear to be carved in sections as opposed to one entire piece.
Any info as to value, history or origin would be most welcomed & appreciated.
Hi, I have what appears to be a handpainted plate with Fielding 10A2 impressed into the back. Other markings on the back include MM underlined with the letter Y beneath the line in green paint and the letter B in gold.
The front of the plate is a landscape scene with a lake and mountains in mainly pastel colours. The plate has a gold rim.
I have inherited this plate and I know nothing about its history. I am assuming it is early S. Fielding prior to Crown Devon but I could be totally wrong! I would like to know what it might be worth prior to selling it.
Beautiful bright blue and brown vase. I don't know much about the maker or where it comes from. I fell in love with its beautiful bright colors. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank You
