I picked up a very cool amber glass console dish (abt. 12 inches round) that after searching all evening, I believe that I have properly identified as Cambridge Glass Co. in the "715 Willow or Blue Willow" pattern. It has the blue willow doves, three men on a bridge, and boat scene in the middle, and the same scene repeated around the perimeter of the dish three times. The dish has about a 1 inch deep "bowl" that has a very detailed etched trim.
I am frustrated by being unable to find other similar pieces to get an idea what value, if any, that others believe that their own dish is worth. I saw only one in an online auction, but it was painted or otherwise had additional "bling". The one that I have is simple and in great condition with the exception of a few scratches on the bottom. Any thoughts on value? Otherwise, I will use it and enjoy it in my kitchen as a fruit bowl!
I got this old wooden box in 2005, it belonged to my grandma..It always and still does hold smoking pipes that were my grandfathers. I dont know if its a religious type keepsake box or what..It has a hand painted picture on top side, I've had people tell me the pope, but i believe its a monk. My grandma was a devoted Catholic her whole life, so thats why im leaning more towards a keepsake box for religious misc. I've tried finding anything online that closely resembles it, but have had no luck. It has no maker or numbers anywhere that i can see., the bottom is worn down to the wood, you can tell it was covered with a material, but thats long gone and the inside is tin, but im assuming had some cloth material or something in it..
this is a bag that is to small to be used for about anything that i could think of. The "string" ( unsure what it is ) a necklace? or just an attachment for the bag somehow?
The first thing i thought when i got this was native american.
if anyone can help to tell me what it is and how i should go about getting it appraised ?
