Antique Questions Forum / Vintage Green Urn (?)
« on: September 15, 2018, 09:52:36 am »
I have purchased a beautiful green urn (?) that has a vented top. It measures about 17" tall x 11" wide and weighs 8 lbs. The bottom of the urn is marked "Bona Fama Est, Melior Zoma Aurea (which is a French expression, translates as “A good reputation is better than a golden belt”), Alba China. Any ideas what period this urn was made, and any other information you may have on it. I can't find anything like it. Thank you for your help.

Antique Questions Forum / Emile Louis Picault (1833-1915) – Opima Spolia Statue
« on: August 23, 2018, 08:55:13 pm »
I have a statue that appears to be bronze measuring about 24" tall that says E. Picault - Opima Spolia - France. This statue appears to be an original Emile Louis Picault piece of art but I can't be sure. There are 2 repaired areas - one on the leg and one on the arm holding the lamp. Also, the globe is missing where the lamp is. Your help will be appreciated in determining the authenticity and worth. Thank you

Found this on e-bay - it is similar to the piece that I have. This item's description says: Elkington & Company Silver Plate Condiment Server Antique Vintage Canadian Pacific RR Hotel
Back stamp code "S" on lower back side dates it to 1929...the year the hotel opened
Number on bottom is 33938
Does NOT have the glass bottles anymore
Examine all photos closely for condition issues
Picture is attached

This item weighs 2 lbs. The tray measures about 6 3/4" long x 6 1/2" wide - it then tapers down to about 3". Each glass measures 2 1/2" tall by 2 3/4" in diameter at the opening - the bottom of the glass is 1". The opening of the holder (for the glasses) measures 2" for the holder that has the lid; and 1 3/4" for the holder without the lid. The base is about 2" from the feet to the tray. Let me know if I can give you any other info. Thanks again

Thank you all for the comments. The jars do have grapes on them - they are both the same size, however, when placing the jars in the stand one is taller than the other. There is only 1 lid with a place to put a spoon, but the one without the lid doesn't show any signs of a lid ever being there. The one without the lid the glass sits taller because the opening to the stand is smaller than the one with a lid. Thanks again.

I have what looks like a condiment dish - There are 2 glass glasses with fruit embossed on them; one have a lid with a place for a spoon - the other glass has no lid. On the bottom it is marked 578 International Silver Co., Silver Soldered 05018 and then a 49. I feel certain this is silver plate. Any information you can give me on this piece would be greatly appreciated. I have searched for this item to no avail. Thank you

Curiosity and I like to describe something accurately. I don't know what this is a reproduction of, nor what type of metal it is. Was just hoping you could help me a little more. Thank you.

Still having difficulty with these lamps - I hadn't seen this # on the lamps but I can't really read it well. Any thoughts? I would appreciate it - possible what the lamp is made of, etc.
