A bird chewed on some of the edges and some of the fruit, as shown in the pictures, has been chewed off. Some of the fruit flakes have been saved but are in many pieces.
Bought at an antique store in the San Diego area in 1992.
The photo doesn't really capture the subtle gold tone of the main body. It is very elegant, and a gorgeous wall hanging; a focus for a room. Because of the gold/blue scheme it is different from the usual red ones with white cranes (have one of those too). I know these go for about $3000 as wall hangings in fancy antique shops so I don't want to get ripped off selling it for $200 on eBay. if you know of a site that would be interested in this kimono, please let me know. By the way, I left my clothes behind and stuffed this kimono in my backpack when I was in Japan in 1985. I was told it was an 'antique wedding kimono', whatever that means.
Barbie & Ken Dolls & Fashion Gift Set by Mattell. It's a tennis set with the clothes. Dated 1962. Never out of box. I would like to know if anyone knows the value of this set? Thank you.
This is a set of eight (8) saucers. On the back it reads:
HAND PAINTED; Under Glaze; VERNON KILNS; CALIF.; Made in U.S.A. Then a signature: Chintz. I am trying to find the value of these saucers and any other information regarding the markings. Thank you!
This is a 4-piece Sandwich plate & saucer set. The only markings on the back are "2358H". Nothing else is on the back. The set is in Mint condition. I would like to know if anyone knows the value of the set and anything else about the markings?
