More folk art, pre ebay and Pip's trip when you made your own pretties. You could keep your whatnots inside it, the circumference is 20 inches so plenty of room for did dads too!

Hi Sue,
I have always assumed that it is but have not done any research.Dealers often describe these pots as Russian for what it's worth!

I see this style of work in OXFAM shops new stuff section quite often, but I can't recall where it says it's made.  There are some super designs though.

Here is my photo (finally) of my paper mache.  I have this an appraisal on this.  It is victorian, the late 1800's (1880), and it has mother of pearl inlaid on the top, with hand-painted designs.  Value I was told, approx $ 150 about 4 years ago.  It is in good shape considering it is 127 years old.  (Hope I look that good at 127 yrs old...lol)

Some of the jewrely from it is also Victorian. 

On the right side (appraised also) is a large black *Victorian mouring* necklace/cameo.  I was told that the locket was made of GUTTA PERCHA.  Approx value for just locket $ 80.00 (*).  The black lin chain attached with 27, 1 inch links was BAKELITE.  Approx value $ 120 (*). Total value $ 200.

Please note this was apprasial locally, and a few years ago.  I was told the market was getting hotter for these Victorian pieces, and would only rise...so I hope that you find fair market, or have any other opinion. 

The others have not been appraised yet (as I had several other items that day at the apprasal), but the is a pearl necklace, and the Victorian shell necklace similar in age/idea/ on this web page:  http://www.jantiques.com/jewelryhistory/lesson3.html

There is also a Victorian silver link bracelet, with the tinyest, tinyest key I have every seen.  similar to the "curb link bracelet" on this page:  http://www.jantiques.com/jewelryhistory/lesson5.html about half way down the page...In my pix, you can see the tiny little key attached to the string....it is so small.
