$1.07M ‘Roadshow’ antique appraisal
example work of Chien Lung “Antiques Roadshow” appraisers valued a jade set as high as $1.07 million, the highest appraisal since the show started traversing the United States. The collection — jade pieces from China’s Chien Lung reign from 1736-1795 — belong to an unidentified woman who arrived early at the Saturday taping in Raleigh, N.C., of the popular PBS show, The News & Observer in Raleigh reported Sunday. The woman told the appraiser the pieces belonged to her father, a military liaison to China in the 1930s and ’40s, show officials said.

$1.07M ‘Roadshow’ antique appraisal
Almost 25 years ago when I was in Portobello Road in London one Saturday morning I noticed an amazing child’s cup in the most amazing condition and in the original box. The combination of the satin finished silver areas combined with the green gold parcel gilt and engraving was a lesson in the finest engraving and the finest example of the Aesthetic Movement. I purchased the mug and went off on my way.

Schultz and Fischer leaf form bowl with handle and bug I had no idea that Californian silversmiths were making silver in 1880 that looked exactly like the work of George Shiebler in New York. Shiebler used leaves and bugs held together with silver pins and usually lightly gold washed the pieces. We recently found a most unusual version of this type of work by Schultz and Fischer

Tiffany Columbian Expo Mark Tiffany Vine Forks Displayed at the Columbian Expo 1983 A bout 20 years ago I acquired a lightly gold washed dessert set in the Tiffany Vine pattern. After I got it home I examined it closely and noticed that five of the individual place pieces had a strange mark added to the reverse of the bowls.

Shiebler letter opener with “shalom” engraved in Hebrew Shiebler Pin with the word “Roma” Engraved George Shiebler’s engravers used Roman and Greek related words on their Etruscan pattern flatware, hollowware and jewelry and many people are curious as to the purpose and meaning of the words. After acquiring quite a few pieces and checking around I think I can safely say that the words are meant to look as if they were dug up with the old Roman and Greek pots and pans in an excavation
Excerpt from:
What the words inscribed on Shiebler pieces mean…….
Christopher Dresser had a huge influence on design in Britain and America and until recently I was not aware of his collaboration with Edward Moore of Tiffany. This rare and important Tiffany tea caddy has Japanese influenced applications including the decorated ivory plaque on the front with two copper jesters. The ivory plaques are rumored to be part of a large purchase made in Japan by Christopher Dresser on behalf of Edward Moore for Tiffany
