DianaF: We got a little rain last night while we slept. Sun…

I'm glad ya'll are getting some more rain. With spring coming you need as much as possible. I’m not even going to lie.. we had a great day here. We finally had some warm weather. I don’t think I’ve been so happy to see 60 degrees in my life. Lol.

How was your weekend?

1. pic 13.5 x 14.5 by Wong – That’s an image pulled from a carved piece. It’s called a relief print. You can tell by the way the “image” is impressed in the paper. That looks like a woodblock or maybe a linocut print. For those you carve the wood or carve a piece of linoleum, ink the “raised” portion, and lift the print from it. Fun stuff. It was one of my favorite projects in art school.

That might be a piece by Helena Wong, a mid century artist. I don’t have records of her making any kind of relief art, but it’s possible. Could also be an unknown from one of the nearby schools. It’s a good piece actually. Dual color, nice composition, good carving technique… It actually should be worth about $75 to $100.

2. hummingbirds 13.5x16.5 – That’s a modern deco style print. That’s a painted gold frame right? I would say late 20^th century. It’s worth about $40 to $60.

3. 12.5x15.5 by Jensen – That’s either a print of an original pen and ink or it’s a print pulled from a copper plate. For a plate print, a sharp tool is used to draw in a metal plate. The plate is inked. The ink actually gets in the grooves you’ve drawn. Then you wipe the excess off the plate and take the plate and a piece of damp paper and run it through a press. The image gets transferred. You might be able to take it out of the frame and look at the back of the print. An original hand made print will have bleed through generally and you can actually feel the ink on the paper. If it’s an original pen and ink you should feel the ink of that too.

I’m not sure of the artist.. that sig doesn’t match anything. The first part looks like tag or tog? It’ s an interesting piece. There is a sort of reflective quality to it with the portrait superimposed over the landscape shot. Might be a northern California artist. It should be worth about $100 to $125.

4. 15x15 by Blum – Both of these should be prints of Cheri Blum’s work. She was born in 1969 and passed away in 2003. She produced over 400 paintings in her short career. She was actually an illustrator before moving on to the genre most know her for. Her whole goal was to make art that you could put in your home not just stick in some stuffy gallery. Both 4 and 5 should be plate signed images.

They’re about the same size so the prices will run about the same.. Both should run about $50 to $75 each.

5. 15.5x15.5 by Blum both beautiful frames (4&5) - See above. =)

6. necklace 16" Czecho Slovania – Could that say Czechoslovakia? That looks like Czech/Bohemia beads from about 1910/1920. Very art deco style. That looks like what are called pottery beads. It should be worth about $60 to $85. You might try selling it for around a $100 at first and drop it down if it doesn’t sell fast enough. =)

7. 12" heavy crystal vase with palm trees – That is a piece by Godinger crystal. It’s crystal that is made by the Godinger Silver Art Company. They’ve been around since 1972. This is part of the South Beach Collection. The vase is worth $25 to $35.

8. Mikasa French Countryside Jale pieces are listed on picture – French Countryside is the shape. The pattern is called Jaleh. It’s still being made so you don’t get the lucky value from being discontinued, but it still has some value. Luckily it’s a pretty pattern. Lol.

That looks like dinner plates (which are $10 to $15 each). Salad Plates (which are $5 to $10 each). Cup/saucer sets – ($10 to $15 each set). Just the plates would be $5 to $8.

As a whole set----- $200 to $250.

That should give you a few pricing options. =)

9. made in China gold and mustard vase yuk – The shape is neat, but the coloring..yeah. lol. It’s a studio art style vase. It has a bit of a splatter design. I’m surprised it wasn’t made by Savoy. They made a lot of that style around the 60s. It should be worth about $30 to $40.

10. 11"h blue ginger jar with lid and peacocks – That mark is in the books, but it’s listed as an unidentified seal mark that dates to the late 20^th century. At least it’s not a fake one. =) It’s an enameled design on a cobalt blue ground. Very pretty. It should be worth about $40 to $50.

11. 12"h blue ginger jar with lid and peacocks – That mark is related to the late 20^th as well. It’s more of a factory tourist peace. The characters are more like a sort of gibberish than related to an actual factory. Odds are, based on the style and mark design…It came from the same production facility as the other one. It should run about $50 to $60.

12. 4.75" h vase white with green inside – That looks like a cased glass vase. That’s where essentially the vase is made with one color. Then it’s set and then sort of dipped with the other color---creating 2 separate layers of glass. It looks Italian from around the 50s/60s. The design is actually very similar to some of Paolo Venini’s work. He was a Murano artist.

It’s definitely a Murano vase. The sticker should be the original retailer, Art of Venice. They’re a glass shop down ther—specializing it blown glass pieces. Perfect for this kind of art glass. It’s called a handkerchief vase because of the ruffled look. It should be worth about $50 to $75.

13. 6"h heavy cut crystal – That’s almost a poured glass look, like the glass was poured into a mold. It’s an art nouveau style design, though it likely is more modern than that. It likely dates to the late 20^th century. Based on the style..I would say it’s most likely French or Czech (Bohemia). It should be worth about $50 to $75.

14. 4"h amber votive – That looks to be an old Homco (home interiors) set. It’s a ribbed design on the holder, but the bottom is a diamond point pattern. Indiana glass made a similar bottom (though their candle holder didn’t look like that). I don’t think they’re the original set. I think someone put that holder with the Indiana glass bottom. That’s okay though. They look good together. As a set…about $15 to $20

15. green bowl 10.75 diam 4.25"h heavy – That’s a mod art style bowl. Sort of like what Blenko used to make. It’s by Indiana glass. The pattern is luau. And it’s made by a method called Turbo from the 1970s. That refers to the way the glass is froze while being spun. The color is called Lime. It’s worth $30 to $40.

16. 11" diam 3.5"h cler glass etched outside 4 footed bottom – That’s an etched glass piece. Very similar to old Viking and fostoria glass. It looks like fostoria’s chintz pattern from the 40s to 70s. It’s listed as a baroque handled toed bowl. It’s actually worth about $60 to $85.
