It has claw feet, and rounded glass on the sides. One of the side glass is missing and needs replaced. I really dont know much about this item. I am considering keeping it, but due to its size I will probably sell it. I'd like to know how much it is worth with and without the glass, when and where it was made, what style is it? Also there is another piece that is very similar, but that has different griffins, which is why I want to know the style. Any information would be great. The pic of the griffin was faded by the sun before scanning. One of the feet in front needs repair. Linda
WOW! I have never come across something quite like these. There are two sets of cutlery here each boxed separately. The first is a set of 6 knives (steak?) and the other is a set of serving pieces - fork, knife, and knife sharpener. The handles are Wedgewood.
The interior lining displays "Wedgwood Handled Cutlery...Styled by Philip Ashberry...Sheffield England".
These items are part of an estate liquidation, and I want to get the best fair market value for the owner. Any background, value and research tips are welcome! (So far, I've only found one knife like it on eBay selling in a store as "Buy It Now" for $75... I image a complete set in this condition to be more sought after).
This looks like a medieval candle holder that may have hung on a wall in a castle. It's aged (looks dirty), has a chip in the hood of one monk; has small round metal hooks for hanging; tow monks heads are hollowed out in a circle and the hollow of the jester is pointed.
