Hello. I posted some pictures of my 2 small leaded glass lamps, and a gentleman suggested that they might be Handels. There is a small mark on the bottom of one of them, but i don’t see anything else. They are 16-17″ tall. Thank you![attachment]IMG_6902w.jpg[/attachment]
No one is shouting !! You asked and I gave an opinion based on what I could see !! If you are in Manhattan I would suggest you get an appraisal from someone there !! A hands-on look is always better than poor pics on a computer!! This site only has me and one other volunteer that cares enough to try and help !! No one here is a paid employee !! This site does not enlarge pics so the only way I can see detail is if you take pictures that are good enough to show it !! And the word is “cross hatching” on the ivory !! That is the cellular structure !! That is what your pics did not show to my satisfaction !!
You can get an appraisal for around $100. give or take a few dollars !! That would be your best option rather than wasting your time here !!
On the internet, double exclamation marks is shouting.
“Poor pics”? Is that a joke? You cannot see my large, well-lit photos, full of detail?
The Schreger lines in my pictures of that ivory, could not have been more obvious.
If you are forced to work with bad images for some reason, then don’t make bad guesses.
Dispensing the wrong information, on a forum where people come for answers, is much worse than not giving any advice at all – which is what wisdom would do.
You have been given wrong information twice with me, despite great photos, and both times you tried to insist you were correct. ANd now you still don’t get it. Who cares how much work you do, when what you ‘provide’ is sketchy, unreliable, and often wrong? You think that’s acceptable?
Please just don’t comment when i post anything, ok?
Your excuses do not excuse your behavior.
