« on: October 11, 2011, 08:13:22 am »
Hi, Back again with another gold ring.
This one is an unknown oval cut stone, poss Amber?
The one im stuck with is the date, the ring is stamped in this order:  W&G, 9, .375, The Anchor (on its side, and what looks like a 'W' in a square box with cut corners.
The problem is the 'w' does not really look like any on the date assay stamps that would correspond with the cut corner box its in.
Please help.
And thanks to those who helped before!
P.S. sorry about pic quality.

Antique Questions Forum / old gold ring?
« on: September 14, 2011, 01:54:20 am »
Hi, I have come across this old gold ring, it is quite small, possibly child size. The hallmarks (2) are very worn and I cant read them. The stone is quite large, has some small wear/scratch marks so I'm guessing not the hardest material and it is clear, with a very slight yellow/golden tinge. Please help!

Hi, I have what I think is a water jug, it stands about 10" tall, is in a crackled biscuit colour and has cobalt blue and rust coloured flowers embellished with gold on the stems and leaf veins and also around the rim and base. It has a tin? swinging lid that sits on small pins and fits into cut out grooves on the lid. Can anyone tell me what it is and how old please.

Ok, first of all thanks to all that are trying to help.
I have uploaded some more pics, however these are all taken on BB so not great. I have modified the images on PS to try and highlight the areas requested, this has however altered background colours making them lighter and exagerated the pattern colours on the foreground detail.
The markings on the base are a 'V.' and what looks like a '15', however from my view and as I have tried to over highlight, it looks like an oriental marking of some description.
The lid is of a type I have seen before on an edwardian water jug/pitcher and is very smooth, almost like the feel of lead with a grey, lead/silver colour. The little balls that hold the pins on which it pivots have been braised or soldered with a same coloured metal, unless the whole thing has been dipped, and the pins seem to be of a different metal, possibly brass?. The underside of the lid has a small weight with a tool mark in the middle, but it is only a tool mark and there are no makings at all apart from slight wear. Hope this helps, any more requests? ask and I will try to sort. Thanks guys.
Thanks all so much, will keep researching!!
