Extraordinary Victorian Cut Glass Hand Sculpture Paperweight - New Low Price

 

Queen Victoria commissioned souvenir sculptures of her children's limbs, arms, feet and hands and gifted them to Albert, starting a fad. This hand is worked out of glass. The plinth appears to be molded and cut black glass. This is quite an eye catcher as wherever any light hits the clear hand, it emits an eerie glow.  It is in exceptional condition with some natural faults inside the glass and some flea bites on the plinth. This displays beautifully. Very playful with lighting.  Quite rare. It would be fabulous in a Halloween display. See it in our eBay store here.

Ornate Victorian Nut Cracker Grater Reversible Silver Plated 19th Century

 This fancy, utilitarian nut cracker was designed to go to war against any nut.

The cracker itself is quite a weighty hammer. There are graters for skin removal and the reversible

handle has the force to open pretty much any nut in either direction.

It's very clever and quite pretty. Circa 1800s.

This is silver plated and I desperately want to polish it but I leave that up to the new owner.

It has usage wear and some rust.

Victorian Hand Painted Porcelain Bisque Cherubic Baby in Window Figurine

 

Here is a rosy cheeked, beautiful, milk drinking baby if I ever saw one. 

Blue eyes and blonde curls. From baby central casting.

Ambiguous sex with the babe wearing a pink tasseled stocking cap but also a blue neckerchief. Very clever.

The chubby baby hangs from a shuttered window in a fence or gate shaped container.

It is approx 3 1/2" tall and 2" wide. 

A very pleasing figurine to add to your collection.

The number 72 is stamped in the center of the bottom. 

Above that 29C5 is stamped. Two painted marks that could be the artist's initials.

Very well made for the Victorian era. 

In very good condition. No chips, cracks or crazing. 

Some shelf wear and minor manufacturing flaws.

Please see all the photos to be sure this is to your liking.

Sold as seen.

1850s Victorian photo locket pendant with double daguerreotypes of handsome married couple

I just love the heartwarming sentimentality of this item. For the last 160 years the images of this couple have stared into and reflected each other. From the locket itself and the clothes they wear, they are obviously a well to do couple, I believe her daguerreotype is touched up with just the tiniest hint of gold on the earrings.
The locket is rolled gold and in very good condition, with some slight wear. The images are likewise in very good condition.

Antique Victorian Shaving Mug and Soap Bowl w Drain Hand Painted Iris

Decorated with nicely detailed Irises highlighted with gold, they are larger size pieces ( the shaving mug holds two cups). The soap dish still has both the cover and the ceramic soap drain ) . In very very good vintage condition (especially for two items over 130 years old) they are without chips or cracks but have fine crazing uniformly over both pieces ( seems to be an intentional effect) . There is a bit of wear to the gold on the lip, and occasionally a small darker spot to the glaze.
Really a great pair of matching antique shaving items, perfect for man or woman.

Bronze Baby Vulcan Breaking Nut Match Holder

This little figure has me mystified. I have done my best to look up why this little cherubic figure with a rather manly face, is cracking open that walnut.
Made of bronze and standing 3 inches tall by approximately 2 1/2 inches deep, this figure of a baby Vulcan with hammer in hand and naked except for an apron and a pair of slippers was probably a match holder.
