The glass bottle looks to be a perfume bottle and very modern. Any makers marks?

You need to check the spoon for hallmarks (stamps) to check if gold/plated and if hallmarked this will indicate the year and where from. Check the indentation outline if the velvet to see if it's the original box - will add some value if so.

Now Lalique - Yum!!! Looks very interesting. Lalique is a top name. Does it say R. Lalique/René Lalique or Lalique. If it has his name it's worth more as older and when he was alive(pre-WW2). Do you know its history of ownership ? There are some fakes around. Looks lovely and the style looks right. Is the archer copper?
Also, if you look underneath the base, is there any marking/cavity there?

Best to look up the web for any other similar pieces for approx value and might indicate rarity - his pieces are well known and the rarer the better. You will also probably need to get an official valuation and insure it. You lucky thing!!

Oh and any hallmarks on the cow?

The cow has marks so Im hoping someone can give me more information.
I think is says BM or RM then looks like a D.

Well the car mascot looks like it could be worth a least $1000 US. see this link

saw a lalique car mascot on ebay with a reserve of 9 K.

Been offered $2500 already. The link in your post is from 2001... seen one on Ebay last year sell for $2800

Have more info on the cow cremer though


It's german made but bearing import marks for Chester. I can't see the date
letter but it is going to be around 1900 or therabouts. Maker Berthold
Muller who was a prolific german importer to England at this time. It is
actually a copy of a type originally made by a London silversmith called
Schuppe in the 1760s.

maybe the Classic cars board might be of help re the Lalique. I'd say the value could escalate if you had two people vying for it. Miller's Antiques Guide may have some guidelines for value. No matter what, insure it!!

Good to have photos of your valuables anyway.

The last glass piece looks to be from the same place as the glass bottle. No marks stamped?

I will have a look for my hallmark book (could take a while!). Is it a capital/lower case D? - can't tell from photo

get that car mascot valued by Christies or Sothebys , that is London tarde for sure.

some of these thing can be little lottery wins, or similar..well 6 figure sums.

the creamer you know plenty about,.. i would have said dutch instead of german but then you checked out the marks already. went out of fashion at one stage because the cream keep getting lodged in arkward places and smelling sour all the time. but as novelty silver thrived, the creamer is a top lot.
the original creamers are unbelievably expensive.

i dont know about the studio glass bottle and stopper... prob 1970s?? but very nice quality and strong colour.. is it heavy or light thin glass ? and marks on the base as you put it up to the light ?
