Title: Small Aurene something? Help
Post by: sdelzer71 on September 11, 2014, 11:58:17 PM: One more of the Grandmas' collection, is a small gold aurene thumb indented something? I don't know the first place to even start research since I'm not sure what to call it! ??? Its about 2 1/4" tall and 1 1/2" wide. It was with her other Quezal salts and bowls but I don't see any identifying marks.

No.

Is it because the shape is wrong or is it that the "aurene" is wrong? By judging from googling the WMF pieces seem to have more iridescense than this one?

Post by: sdelzer71 on September 12, 2014, 10:34:46 PM: I am so glad that I have found this Message Board. I am learning a whole lot of new things about something I wasn't interested in until I started dealing with my Grandmothers estate, and all the 1000's of antiques she has. I have only gotten through two boxes. Several more to go.......so look for new pictures of things I cant find....Thanks again to everyone who has responded!
