Hi Sheauran,
The photograph
hasn’t really clearly shown them, so we have a bit of a blur.
However, the enquirer is local and I would like to take you up on your kind
offer. I’ll be in touch.
Many thanks and best
wishes
Becki

Many thanks Mark and Steph. Mark – Could I ask you if
the enquirer need to take this further? Or, do I need to advise them on
the item if they wished to sell it? We don’t get many of these in
the

This is an opium pipe, not sure about the legalities of ownership
with this. (I used to be Curator for Customs and Excise so saw a lot of these!)
They also come with enamel decoration.

Hi,
This lovely object was bought in over the weekend. It’s made
from possibly electroplated silver and has removable tweezers and has what
looks like to be Chinese hallmarks.
Thing is, it doesn’t look like anything we have in the
collections? Has anyone come across one of these?
Many thanks
Becki
