In answering your questions, as far as I can tell the shelves are notched.  The question was asked, "Also am curious to know if any of the wood panels in your cabinet 'float' (in otherwords, are they all glued to the frame elements, or not) ?"  The back panels appear to be in grooves but I can not seem to move or shift them.  I have attached some more pictures: close ups of the draws and adjustable shelves.  I will post again to add more pictures.  Thank you for your input thus far.  Any additional information will be greatly appreciated.  Looking forward to your replies.

I recently acquired this piece of furniture.  I am told that it is an antique bowed breakfront bookcase.  I am very interested in knowing as much as possible about it, like style, period, manufacturer, if it is an American or English piece, and present value.  I can find no markings concerning maker.  It is 86" high and 81" wide.  Any information would be so very much appreciated.

I just acquired this green jar.  Including the lid, it is 8" high and without the lid 6".  The diameter is 5".  If you look down into the bottom of the jar, there is a raised marking.  I drew this marking as well as I could, since it cannot be copied by my camera.  The outer circle is about the size of a quarter.  Any information on this piece would be greatly appreciated!

Antique Questions Forum / Imari Plates

« on: October 21, 2009, 09:52:39 am »

I have recently inherited three plates from my step-dad.  He and his first wife were stationed in Japan in the 1950's. It was during that time when these plates were purchased.  It was suggested to me that the plates may be Imari.  How do I know this for sure and their worth?  The plates are in excellent condition but no markings on the back except for what is shown in the picture.  Any information on this would be so very much appreciated.

I am seeking information on a tea pot or it could be a chocolate pot?  Any information concerning the pattern, value, etc. would be so very much appreciated.  The lid has been broken and re-glued (poor job).  Thank you.

Would like information on a set of three hand painted NIPPON bowls?  I have learned that the emblem on the bottom of the bowls is a "M" inside a wreath crowned by "Hand Painted" and below, Nippon.  The "M" stands for "Morimura."  Any information on this set would be greatly appreciated - how the set is used, pattern name, value, etc.   Thanks so much!

Please help.  I am closing up my parents estate and discovered this jar.  On the bottom of the jar in raised lettering, the following words are found, "A. J. Hall Meriden CT  Any help that you may give would be greatly appreciated.  Is it a biscuit, cookie, cracker or some other type jar?  Does anyone know the value?  Some of the finish is worn from the lid.  Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you so very much for the info on the violin bottles. As far as I could tell, the violin bottles pictures in the article all opened at the top. The violin decanter I possess cannot sit up on it's own like most bottles and the opening is at the base of the violin.  Would this make a difference?   Hopefully, I can get in touch with someone at the website you have provided.  I will definitely keep searching.  By the way, the glass violin is 6 5/8" X 2 1/2" X 5/8" in size. Thanks again for your help!
