Hi; I have a silver candle snuffer with a matching tray. Both pieces are
hallmarked. I thought I'd got the marks figured out until I realized
that the maker's marks are different.Here's what I have so far:London

I found this vase at an auction along with a batch of McCoy and
Roseville. Its beautifully made, glazed identically inside and out.
There's a small circle mark incised right at the base which I haven't
been able to identify. Does anyone recognize it?...
Could someone please identify this Lladro Geisha for me? I'm guessing
that she's current, not retired, but I may be wrong. I've looked through
1000's of pics on Google, aretiredcollection.com, and the Lladro website
but no luck. I'd like to be able t...

It has a glossy finish, and is about five inches tall. I've had it for a

or where it was made.I'd be very gr...
Hi! Can anyone help with this unmarked piece? Its made from marble,
spelter and (I believe) ivoreen, and its about 22 inches long. Sometime
in the past someone has removed the clock movement and replaced it with
a battery(!) but other than that it's ...
Thank you for asking! I found something similar a couple of weeks back,
just doesn't have the platform towards the bottom of the legs. Mine
baffled me too. Both look handcrafted, and both are attractive pieces.
I'll be watching this post!
Good point (and pretty obvious!) - if there's nothing in the Lladro
catalog then it can't be a 'reproduction'. 'In the style of' is the only
accurate term. And it has to be accurate.Thank you for the education!
Ah! I never was much good at reading between the lines...;-)I asked for
a 'yes' or a 'no', and expected a 'no', which would have been preferable
to any sort of equivocation. Live and learn, huh?I appreciate your
insight, thank you!Linda
Hi! Here's the reply I got from Lladro (US). U-1887447 Dear Mrs Russell,
First of all thank you for your interest in our creations. After
checking the photos you kindly sent us we cannot confirm the
authenticity of your sculpture. We haven't been abl...
Thank you! I should have paid more attention to the mark, seems now that
it should have been pretty obvious! Oh, well....this has definitely been
a learning experience. I sent an inquiry with photos to Lladro a few
minutes ago (US office), as advised...
