My grandmother gave my husband a deer lamp a couple years ago. I don't know how old it is or even who made it. We are thinking it's made of pewter but not sure. The bark of the tree is hollow with the wiring in it and the buck, doe and fawn are around the lamp with what seems to be rocks and sticks. No color in it at all.. every bit of it is a silver, gray color.
I was wanting to know if anybody knows anything about this lamp. It's fairly large. There are no lamp shade with it and the wiring needs replaced.

inside of the violin are the words on a label
jofeph guarnerius fillius andrez fecit
cremone fub titule s. teresie 1706
also at the bottom of the label on the wood is a signiture
D. G. Willis, maker

That is all the info we have on this cedar chest.

I recently purchased 38 piece of Lochs of Scotland blue floral china at a yard sale. There are 8 Dinner plates, 8 Mugs, 8 Bread and Butter Plates, 4 Fruit and Dessert Sauce Bowls, 1 14' Oval Serving Platter, 1 Creamer, 1 pepper shaker, 1 small platter and 3 smaller bowls. I was wanting to know about how much these are worth? And how can you tell if it's fake or not?

I have a pair of lamps that my mother purchased about 15 years ago. They have a brass base with intricate scrollwork that supports a glass globe that appears iridescent when the lamps are lit. The front of the globe has a scrollwork pattern that I presume is brass also, but I am not sure. On the globe sits a candlebra with four arms. Each arm holds three crystals. The crystals came with the lamps, and I believe they are original.

The thinness of the cups is incredible: you can see the light through.
7 cups, 5 saucers, one tea pot, one milk jug and one sugar bowl are in perfect condition (no cracks, no chips, no repairs). The extra cup is cracked and two saucers have been repaired.

Sent pictures. painting came with old frame. No signiture as far as I can tell.
