This is a lovely lapis glass scent bottle with relief scenes of an oriental motif, similar to the early Canton fans and carved ivory items. I think this may be an Austrian bottle done in the Chinese style. It has a brass screw top, and is of a lovely rich blue color of glass with intricate designs on both sides.
Size: 2-3/8 x 2-3/8 inch
Condition: very good

Very unusual pair of hairpins made of Vauxhall glass. This was a glass originating in the early 1700s at a glasswork factory in Vauxhall, England. These are 19th century and still retain all of the glass intact, which is unusual for this type of glass. These were made to emulate flat cut stones of the type used in Georgian jewelry. An interesting pair.
Size: 3-3/8 inches long x 1 inch across the top
Condition: Very good for age, minor glass age flaws, but not distracting.

A lovely pair of small 18th century needlework pictures that are unusual in that they are still vibrant after about 250 years. They are done in extremely fine silk thread tent stitch, and are of pastoral scenes of ladies and gentlemen. The pieces have wonderful shading and coloring in blue, red, green, cream, brown and tan. The workmanship is meticulous. They are in antique oval frames with original brass loops for hanging. Very unusual in this size.
Size: sight size 4 inches x 3 inches, framed 6-1/4 inches x 5-1/2 inches.
Condition: excellent

Purchased these many years ago as an interesting historical string of costume pearls. Probably made of glass and fish scales. Clasp is gold, and the strand comes in the original antique box they came in.
Cover was originally silk, but is now almost worn away.
In the cover interior is a note that says- " Wedding necklace of Eliza Ann Th........., of Philadelphia. Granddaughter of of Ellen Seton Ogden, 1816-18?".
Unable to decipher the surname of the bride.
A very unusual piece, and in amazing condition for the age.
Condition: Good. Under magnification, a couple of the pearls have some damage. Box cover worn as stated.
Size: Length of strand- 16 inches.

A wonderfully carved bracelet with the with the well designed face of a lion on top, and the body and tail extending down on side of the piece. Color and detail work is exceptional. It is a slip on bangle, and so is most appropriate for a 56 inch wrist, or smaller.
Condition: Very fine.
Size:Circumference is approx. 5 1/2 inches, and the opening is 7/8inch so total inside circumference about 6 1/2 inches.
