Hi Tanya,
I was referred to you for your opinion on a Chinese vase that I bought recently. I am attaching the pictures of the same and would appreciate if you can advise what in your experience is it worth and how to tell if its a genuine antique.

FOR: "what is my anitque" ~ you have is a wine ewer from India. These were made for the western world and exported in the 1960's . It is brass with etched inlay enamels. Originally there was a set of 4-6 cups and the main ewer. The ewer alone runs about $ 40-45.00 if you have the cups (that look like the ewer - brass with enlay) the retail price would be a more. Hope this helps in your item.

Good information on describing antiquarian books is the glossary at Abe Books: http://www.woodsnwind.com/Docs/books/book_term_glossary.html

And burkes books has a decent rating system, definitions: http://burkesbooks.com/anatomy.htm

Getting to know all the parts of the books, so you can describe the flaws is half the battle!

The copper drinking dispenser came from the Island of Java. I forgot to note that. Tanya

Hi Frank~~
What you have is a drink dispenser for dinners in a Sultan's Palace. The wealthy had gold ones for large dinners and silver for smaller dinners. The copper ones ( as shown here) were used for common everyday dinners. In the 1890-1920's the servants would use these to keep the drinks flowing throughout the dinner and kept the guests happy. The value is roughly $250.00 ( if the other sides have no dings or dents) It is not an ancient piece nor an important piece yet still a great find. ~ Carl / Tanya
