I am looking for any value and/or historical information on this unique piece, which is in very good to excellent condition, actually, for its age. It looks to perhaps be hand painted on a hand-blown blue pickle jar and has a set of tongs that sit aside the jar. There are some very faint chips around the mouth of the jar but not very noticeable at all. only when running your fingers around it. There are four cracks along the bottom of the scalloped silver base. The bottom mark reads "James W. Tufts, Boston, Warranted, Quadruple Plate, 3397."

 Hi.

I inherited alot of china from my grandmother. I was wanting to know the history on it as far as where its from, age, authenticity, and value. I know that my grandmother received it as a gift back in the early 40's or 50's from a boyfriend that was stationed in Germany and he brought it back from there. Now there could be some holes in the story since it was told to me by my aunts. I have tried searching on google for the print on the back that says Rokko Hand Painted China in a gold print written in cursive. I hope the pictures I have uploaded will help . Thank you so much.

 EF.EF Industries Inc Lamp cat.no.414

lamp is approximately 39 1/2 tall and 50" diameter.  Weight is approximately 25 to 30 pounds.  Is in overall good condition.  Does have one very tiny pin hole in globe with hair line crack but not broken...

Would be great for Halloween party or castle style home.

 This is a strange little thing I've been trying to find more about.

It appears to be a decanter of some kind, made out of stone/clay/ceramic wrapped in leather.

There are no identifying marks to it. 

The top to the decanter looks broken.  the leather is split along the seams, and I can pop out the stone the leather is wrapped around fairly easily. 

I've found plenty of leather wrapped decanters, most if not all from Italy but none in this style.

Any information about its origins or worth would be greatly appreciated.
