Art Deco Trinket/Dressing table set - Classical figures
Simba:
I have part of this set in frosted flint and would I be right in thinking it is 'Rebecca at the Well' I found information online that Bakewell, Pears & Co made such pieces in 1876 and was reproduced by Fostoria in the 1970's. She is a standing lady holding a similar pot, this could be a copy of that. I have seen it called the Egyptian set because of the Pyramids on the tray.
Simba:
My set with the ring dish can be seen here

That candlestick in it's general form is not unusual...I think mention of Fostoria and Bakewell, Pears just muddies the water.
I have teal blue pots and they are uranium
Simba:
Didn't mean to confuse issues mentioning the other makers, my thinking was the theme of the set seems to be Rebecca at the well with her handmaidens a very popular religious, in particular Jewish theme.... might suggest the country of origin. ;)
Simba:
I see a seller has one of these trinkets sets on Ebay with a label for Czechoslovakia on two of the pots !
