Also, what you're got there is actually a "cameo", not an intaglio. And intaglio is "incised", I e. Cut down deeply into an originally smooth something... It can be shelled, stone, whatever. A cameo has the subject (in the case of your example here, a bust of a woman) raised, and the background ...

I'm not an expert of Paul Storr but I happened to search some of his works and found "A William IV Silver Coffee Pot, Paul Storr, London, 1836" sold by Sotheby's (I can't give the link but you can Google it) which has identical spout to your coffee pot and otherwise the style matches too. The ...

I posted about this particular pot several years ago, and the photos were lost on that thread so I'm starting a new one. There's some strange things about this coffee: for one thing, Paul Storr's makers mark is not in the hallmark string, but rather on the bottom. It also looks like somebody gouged ...

I believe you're intaglio is pressed glass, which came into use/production in 1820 / 30ish. So even if this is the marriage of two items from different eras, in my mind it shouldn't be any older than the oldest component which would be the intaglio.

It just occurred to me, could this have been a brazer of some sort? Something for warmth that sat on the floor rather than on the table? Curious to find out what this is.

Sorry old friends, I've been on the site a long time and no many things but I have no idea what this is, do any of you? I'm guessing it's German because it's March 800 there are no other marks we can find. It's a combination of cast pieces, represent and then hand cut decoration.

Okay Trev, I will try that but first I have to get to a laptop.. I did this off my phone and for some reason flicker doesn't offer the BB code by way of Android. Go figure.

Curious about the marks on this particular piece of plate, and what it was used for. Hopefully the links below work but if they don't, post on here that fact and I'll see what I can do about uploading them some other way.

Sasropakis! Much thanks!

Thanks folks!
A question though, why an "I" if his first name was James? It's a cool little tankard... I imagine it was a child's cup actually because I said it was a half pint but it's not. I think it's probably more like 8 oz. volume or so.

Two more....

A small one.... 1/2 pint? anyway, I can't find anything that would do for a maker on this. The mark is almost obliterated but, you can make out what would be the "v" in the top of an (serifed) "M" for the second letter. Only other thing I can think of for the second letter might be a "K"> Then there ...

So now, searching this particular item... I find NONE that are faceted! Leads me to believe mine might be a copy as noted in AG20212's post. This one I found (below) in fact, looks to have more detail of, the... "backside" of (presumably) the female figure!

Ha ha! Thanks Trev for letting me stick around on this and thanks to the other posters for the help w/id!

It's a very nice piece and quite detailed. I've known of/seen repros of pressed glass items before but I can say for sure the "cutting" (faceting) is genuine, very clean... not reproduced from ...

Hopefully Dognose won't kick this off too quickly.... I have no idea where else I might even start but on this forum, I find there's many people on that know a little bit about EVERYTHING!

4.5x2.5 inches... "looks like" slag glass. Hand faceted, and a maker's mark (a symbol of sorts actually) on ...

Ok I see now... Thanks Trev! So it's an imported item hence the various extra markings.

Or so it looks to me. this is a cast piece by Elly Isaac Miller (1897?), the lady said when she bought it at a yard sale in the 70's the person from whom it came told her the spoon went w/it. The blue glass bowl appears to have been "blown in place"; is that possible? The spoon has a different ...

"CF" is the maker... can't find'em in our list. The year "looks like" (to me that is) 1821? And it's a conglomeration of motifs: I love the boar's head but think the finial is perhaps off of another piece? A nice pot none the less no? You should have seen it before I went to work on it!, and there's ...
