I have with me this painting (orginal) that was done by Ronnie Wood back in 1984. My uncle gave it to me when he was ill and now he has past. Knute ( stage name), My Uncle Rocky gave this to me in 1988-1989. Somewhere in that time. I had the privilege of meeting Ronnie Wood one night in dallas when he was playing at a club one night. I took just a photo picture of this and he signed it for me, and asked when the painting was at. I told him I had it at my house. He wanted to see it for himself, I didnt live far, so i went home and got the painint, along with a gold pen and some velt that the gallery that framed it for me gave me to have Mr Wood sign it on the vet and they would open the frame up and put the autograph under the painting. Ronnie signed it several rtimes for me before he found the right one. I saved all the autographs and put them on the back of the frame itself. He wrote (92-4-84) which he explained what it meant. He said that he did 4 of these back in 1984 and it was 1992 that he signed this one for me. When I looked up this painting on the intenet, I could only find 3. But Ronnie told me he did 4 of these, and I have the forth, No, I do not have the "Certificate of Authenticity", but I have spoke with a gentleman by the name of mark Pines, he rans Ronnie's Art work in New York. He knew of this painting. In fact, he told me he was with Ronnie when he was drawing it. aAnd Ronnie had told me that he drew the lips with Mustard, yes "French Mustard". Mark confirmed that for me. Due to my ealth now, I am needing to sell this painting and I do mot have a clue as to what it is worth, i know that the back and white prints of this sold for $10,000.00 at a Art Exhibit back in 1999. I will not take less than $100.000.00, Remember this is a ORGINAL.I
The item is a silver tea pot with a crescent moon shaped hallmark and the words "Cresent Silver Mfg". Under that is stamped "351/33". On the bottom in black marker is "1906 earthquake and fire". Inside is a hand written note that states, "1906 April 18, 1906 earthquake + fire Mrs. Rosscamp" on one side and "This tea pot was in the San Frisco fire ask the girls what year that was. My dad's sister lived there then and gave it to Fritzie she gave it to me. All the silver was burned off of it." on the other side.
The tea pot has no dents but does look as if it was in a fire. The lid hinge is in great condition. Cleaned the bottom a little to read hallmark and it cleaned nicely. However the body of the tea pot does look more scorched. Can't attach pictures at this time, but it a very traditional style without a whole lot of ornamentation.
Did a little research on Crescent Silver Mfg and found it was started in 1922, which negates the note. However, still very curious.
