Week Sixty Five
Sugar Bowl
Sentimental Value Less than $100 $101 to $500 $501 to $2,000 More than $2,000
Description: This sugar bowl and spoon belonged to my great grandmother. The marking on the spoon is "WM Rogers." The markings on the silver holder are "Meriden and B Company" it also says quadruple plate, "260 USA." Under the lid it has the initials "ohk" in cursive writing. The bowl is thick cut glass with a very small chip in the base. Other than needing cleaned the whole set is in fantastic shape. I would love to find out the history of this piece.


Early Oriental Marble Slab Portrait		Sentimental Value Less than $100 $101 to $500 $501 to $2,000 More than $2,000
Description: This is an Oriental Marble Slab Portrayal. I'm unsure of age but the fracture was repaired with gold. How about ship's design - could that be a hint? I've exposed the back of slab and there is no writing and it has been hand tooled from appearance. Could it have been made to make prints? The Origin is from Howard Estate, especially. of Howard Steamboat Museum family origin. It was most likely obtained by Captain Edward Howard, Jeffersonville, Indiana on one of his journeys. The piece has been observed by several aficionados in Oriental Field and no clues other than gold being used for repair have been determined. It measures about one foot square. The colors are somewhat subdued due to age and note the glass front provides some glare.
