Antique Questions Forum / Re: Ceramic Lid? Canister Lid? Hand Painted? What are your thoughts?

Thanks you two. Very good information. I never would have found any of that stuff - I have had this thing for years and have tried researching it a few times but without knowing the proper "terms" it's very difficult. One search of "Geisha Girl" led me to a few different items with very similar designs. Same little huts and pink whatever those are.

Antique Questions Forum / Ceramic Lid? Canister Lid? Hand Painted? What are your thoughts?
« on: May 06, 2021, 12:08:17 am »
I have this ceramic piece with what I think is a handpainted scene (or it could just be some kind of a cheap "Made in China" design...) Just wondering what are your thoughts on this item? I think it must be a canister lid or something but I don't know. I have attached a few photos. Also wondering if there would be any value in this type of thing? I know it's minimal.. is it worth selling, keeping even?

Thank you MART & KC! 
I tried the tap test. Sounds like dull glass to me!

Antique Questions Forum / Small Clear Swan

Hello everyone,
I have this small clear swan. I am wondering what the significance of this item is? It has a little bit of weight to it so one possibility would be a paper weight. Is it glass or crystal? If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for all of the information! That helped a lot! 
I was thinking it would be around 1950's because it has no "Occupied" stamp & to me, it looked similar to other pieces from the 40's that had an "Occupied" stamp.
Unfortunate damage with this piece but I bought it anyway. I thought the frills on the front of his jacket were made very nicely! Beautiful piece. I found some other pieces with no damage, but a bit newer at around 1980's.
Thanks KC & Mart

Antique Questions Forum / Porcelain Figurine Maker's Mark - Made in Japan - Hand-Painted
« on: April 15, 2017, 09:31:18 pm »
Hello everyone
Recently I have acquired an appreciation for ceramic / porcelain figurines. I picked up 5 of them one day, 3 of them are Royal Doultons. The other 2 have a symbol on the bottom, which to me almost looks like a mountain or a volcano or something, shaded by 2 golden leaves. Under this it says "Hand Painted" "Made in Japan". I have searched and searched and I have asked several people trying to find out what company this is and I haven't had any luck. Anyone know what company made this glass? Was it used by several companies?
At this point I don't know if I will ever find out what company this was! I would really like to be able to date these pieces, but without knowing the company I am at a loss at trying to put a date on them!

Antique Questions Forum / Large Wooden Kitchen Decor Spoon w/ MIC MAC Carvings
« on: December 13, 2016, 09:03:07 pm »
Hey everyone,
Sorry I haven't been on in a while. Things have been crazy this year. A few months ago I picked up a large lot of items, but unfortunately most items were newer (late 80's to now). However I did find this large wooden kitchen decor spoon, with carvings on it. It looks like a mass-produced item but I'm not sure. Also unsure of the carvings on the handle - I don't know if I should call them Mic Mac carvings or if they would be another type of carving or from another group. I will include a few pictures. If anyone has any information on what these large kitchen decor items are actually called, any idea if they have any value, and what I'm most interested in: What would the carvings in the handle be?
Thank you in advance for any information and also for taking the time to read my post. It's been a while but I should have lots of time to be back on the forums and active. Hope everyone is doing well.
Thanks,
- Kevin
