Flower painting/ possible watercolor. With signature. On the frame : copyright MCMXLIX Dart ind. Made in use 1843. It's in amazing condition. I have no information about its history. Found it in a house I bought. Would love any information I could get. Interested in selling also.
I have a bowl marked Nippon hand painted on the bottom. It stands about 3 inches high and 6 inch diameter. I have seen similar styles online but nothing like this one.
The card advertises the House of Gubelin - Switzerland's Finest Jeweler. It says it was founded in 1854, the jeweler was in its 100th anniversary centenary year. Six watches are depicted across the bottom of the card, and it says they are "Exclusive Agents for the famous PATEK PHILIPPE and AUDEMARS PIGUET WATCHES." Attached to the card is a one-centime (?) coin: "This bright Swiss coin with bring you Luck! Keep it as a small souvenir of your visit to Switzerland." On the reverse of the card is an illustrated table of Swiss coins and bills, and their rough equivalents in US money.
I have an incomplete set of glassware that I believe was my grandmother's. Unless she acquired it late in her marriage, it would date back to 1905-1910. I have searched via photo and can't find anything like it. I searched multiple pieces for any sign of a mark, and found none. If it helps, my grandmother would have been living in either Toledo, Ohio or Detroit, Michigan at the time of acquisition.
A couple of glasses are chipped, so if I sold it by place settings, the number would be six. I need to sell them as a lot.
At first I thought this set was crystal, because it rings like crystal. A couple of people at my tag sale disagreed. They felt it was more likely Depression Glass.
I've added a picture of a single glass. Not the best background, but I had limited resources.
