2 charger plates looks to be in the" Arita Imari" style but the makers mark is unknown to me. 8 alternating enameled wedges 4 matte black, 4 blue/red. gold rim. Center circle is uneven. No cracks or chips detected. Some slight markings from use on black matte sections. Second plate is matching.
Three tablespoons that are very light weight silver, good condition. The name ingraved in the spoon is F.M. Hawes, maybe the first owner of the silverware.
On the back there is a "C" towards the head of the spoon and on the handle
N. E. CRITTENDEN. No other markings are on the spoon.
Large Wooden Hand carved lamp. Possibly Asian made. Features different scenes on each side. Man, woman, ox?, woman. Each scene depicts them doing something (cooking, stiring, holding something). The center is a grass roof hut. The top of the lamp is carved to look like large leaves. Wood is in great condition. The capiz shade has a small piece that broke off on one side (i have the piece). So much detail went into this lamp. Absolutely amazing work.
These lighting fixtures were in my house when we purchased it 13 years ago. At that time we had someone offer $500 for one of the chandeliers but we declined. I dont know much about them other than they probably fall in the Art Deco category. I have 4 different fixtures in all(2 identical chandeliers, a smaller chandelier, and the globe light) All are in great condition. I would just like to know more about them and their worth to possibly sell them.
