BobBlock Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Just returned from a 10 day trip to Europe. Here's an image of what has to be the weirdest thing (or creepiest thing) I have ever found in my searches over there. The bottom is porcelain, marked with an N symbol. I'm pretty sure it is French. The mouse and marble are glass and I am pretty sure they are Italian. I found it in an antique market over there. Luckily it only cost me 5 euros.

Steph Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I made a post here and it disappeared! Should I try again or give up? lol That's a fantastic whimsical piece. Any chance the marble is hollow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmuehlba Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I got a pair right from the artist when I was at a bead and button show , got a lot of my marble trade beads at the button and bead shows . he was in states just to do the bead show in Milwaukee and just happen to brought two marbles , the only one so just had to have . Tried his web sight but nothing there now . Mike I guess it was good as he is very well named for his beads and he said he made a few only .

spara50 Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I thought it looked like the German pieces from Lauscha. They make the hollow ornaments that look exactly like that. Just keep it out of your bedroom, I wouldn't want that staring at me all night. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 The bottom marked with an N might be Capodimonte. Is the N mark crowned on top? That would keep all the components in Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
