I don't have any sunflowers handy, or I'd post pictures of those; they're the symbol of Ukraine. I did dig out some other stuff. Post it if you've got it. Keep the images smaller to speed loading, and as always nothing from a live auction.
The first one is a vase I overspent on this weekend. Art glass signed David R Boutin. Said niece is really into glass blowing right now, and I figure she'll like it. The little Japanese dude is a fisherman carved out of ivory. Found him in a church sale for a whole quarter a few years back. No resale, but for 25 cents there wasn't much downside. The reverse-carved stone cameo is in its new home. The paper I found with it claimed topaz, but I figured it was probably some sort of quartz. The buyer was quite happy. Either it never had a mount or someone scrapped it; I'm inclined to believe the former.
Love the pulled feather design and cranberry color of that vase, ev. That will make a handsome gift for your niece. You must be a favorite aunt 😀. I have to put the blinders on when it comes to glass. It's a major weakness of mine, and one I don't have enough room to indulge.
Oh Sarah, stop! Just stop! Haha! I'll settle in with that video about 9 o'clock tonight, but I did take a quick peek 😍.
I picked up this early plastic/celluloid group last weekend. I could have sworn the bangle was carved bakelite but it didn't test with simichrome. The openwork bracelet isn't ivory. The earrings are screwbacks.
Gorgeous goodies, Ruth. I'm a sucker for glass too. The depression glass group we belong in is hosting our annual glass show. It's in a fairly large exhibition hall and it's usually full of wonderful treasures. I was going to post a photo of a delectable bowl from the National show a few years back but it's not on my phone. Maybe later when I fire up the laptop.
In the meantime, here are some flowers for our dear sisters and brothers in Ukraine -- may the stay strong and defiant.

For the art glass lovers

Although not jewelry ... it did have rhinestones on it.
