Antique Baker & Co. Display China Cabinet

Category
American Furniture
Condition
Excellent
Description

I am looking for information on this beautiful piece of furniture I recently purchased.  It is marked "B. & Co. No. 475" on the back and there is a sticker in the drawer that says "Baker Allegan Mich finished with Dupont".  It is 62 1/2" tall, 41" wide, and 14" deep.  I am wondering when it was made and an approximate value.  It is in wonderful condition.  I can not find anything that looks like it online and do not know much about antique furniture to determine style, age, etc. Also, is this condsidered a curio cabinet, most "china" cabinets don't have legs.   Any help will be appreciated!

Cloisonne Jar

Category
Asian Art
Condition
Excellent
Description

I bought this jar in Manila, The Philippines, in November of 1978 from an antiques dealer who said he traveled to China and bought family relics in remote areas and brought them back for resale.  I paid $250-$300 for it. The dealer said it was probably from the Ming dynasty because of the colors used in the jar, so it was probably 350 years old then, and that it was probably originally used to store opium. He told me not to say that to any customs inspector, though... Because the figure used twice around the jar ('front' and 'back', if there can be such a thing on a circular surface) and on the lid is a five-clawed dragon, he theorized that it once belonged to a member of the royal family.

IVORY ELEPHANT VASE (EXTREMELY-WELL CRAFTED TO PERFECTION BY HAND)

Category
General Antiques and Collectibles
Condition
Mint
Description

THIS IS AN IMMACULATE LOOKING ELEPHANT VASE THAT IS MADE FROM IVORY AS I HAVE NEVER FELT OR SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS, INCLUDING ITS TEXTURE AND COLOR AND WEIGHT.

THERE ARE DELIBERATE CRAFTED CRACKS THAT COULD BE MISTAKEN FOR REAL CRACKS IF YOU WEREN'T CAREFUL ENOUGH ALL OVER.

THE AMMOUNT OF DETAIL GONE IN TO THIS SEEMS NEAR SOMEWHAT IMPOSSIBLE IF YOU LOOK THROUGH A MAGNIFYING GLASS.

I CANNOT BE 100% SURE THE MAJORITY OF THE VASE IS IVORY (THIS IS WHERE I NEED HELP..) OR BONE ETC. (IS WAY TOO PERFECT TO BE FORMED FROM BONE IN MY OPINION)

THE TUSKS ARE VERY INTRIGUING WHEN YOU LOOK CLOSELY AS IS THE INSIDE OF THE TRUNK HAVING THE CROSSES RUN DOWN.

THERE ARE NO ARTISTIC SIGNITURES ANYWHERE (INCLUDING THE BOTTOM), THE ONLY ODD PART I CAN'T FIGURE OUT IS A PERFECT CIRCLE THAT HAS A 3MM IN CIRCUMFRENCE ON THE BOTTOM BASE BELOW THE PATTERN FROM THE THIRD PICTURE.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE THIS ONE OUT?! AS IT IS TOO PERFECT TO PICK ANY FAULT (AND ITS HAND-CRAFTED!)

THERE IS OBVIOUSLY THE YELLOW-BROWN SHADES (THE SHADES LOOK LIKE THEY ARE DELIBERATELY PART OF THE DESIGN!)

THE TUSKS ARE 40MM, THE HIGHEST POINT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM IS 180MM, THECIRCUMFRENCE IS ROUGHLY 220MM AT THE BASE

Vaseline glass Pickle Yacht

Category
Glassware and Crystal
Condition
Excellent
Description

I picked this vaseline/uranium at an antique mall. I know a little about it. Made by Hobbs, Brockunier and Co. in the 1880's. It's in perfect condition. Beautiful. I have seen one sell on Ebay (with a holder) for $199, but cannot find any information beside that. I would like to be able to sell it, but don't know where to start.
