    That`s nice, Lizzy. Is it Siam silver, too? I think it could possibly be so since I have seen some quite surprising items that were.

    Or perhaps it`s russian.....?

    I believe it's Siam. The Russian work is much finer.

    Mmm, I don`t agree that russian work is always finer. Unless you mean more strongly delineated.

    Whatever, I like it!

    So pleased that my collection is catching your eye! It is lovely to be able to share.

    Love this! I don't think this is Siamese. The work looks North African although I have never seen such a cross. Maybe it is Russian or Caucasian -- after all niello work comes in different qualities ( actually, it looks pretty fine to me)
