This is a Black vase with Gold on the outside in a splash patter. I understand the gold was from old mines from the Gold Rush days. That is all I could find. It has Westwood Ware, Calif. #431 on teh bottom.
The Bear is made of solid glass and is very shiny, you can see through it somewhat. The cart looks like it is made from the same glass. They were always paired, I was told they were a set. there are no markings any place, and I don't know where she obtained them.
