  • They came to me through my parents, who were in Iran in the early thirties, and the white Russians brought this stuff with them as their only means of currency.
  • They didn't have anything else, they were refugees.
  • and that's how my parents came by them.
  • Well they went to the right place with it because the Iranians are very attracted to this cloisonne enamel, Russian cloisonne enamel, because it's very brightly coloured and I think they saw a reference to their own tradition of enamelling.
  • They're in revival of the seventeenth century enamel work.
  • This one most particularly is not only in revival of seventeenth century enamel but it's a seventeenth century shape called a kofsh, which is a
  • a Russian wine tasting vessel.
  • It's a Slavonic object.
  • It's rather like having a sort of three dimensional Union Jack, if you like.
  • They are spectacularly beautiful examples.
  • It must have been swiped off sideboards in very noble houses just to flee Russia with something.
  • Exactly.
  • This one would appeal to collectors enormously, actually, because it's a cigarette lighter, and I think one possibly doesn't really think of these being possibly XXth century objects, really, made possibly in the years of the Nineteenth and Fifteenth.

  • And it's for exercising your fingers, a finger exerciser.
  • I think it's absolutely wonderful.
  • I think it's probably for people with arthritis and the like.
  • So it's medical rather than musical, for instance.
  • I don't think it's for a pianist or whatever to exercise his fingers.
  • I think it's if you had arthritis or something like that, this would be a good exercise for your fingers to keep the bones supple.

  • Fourteen.
  • Fourteen pounds.
  • Good for you.
  • Well, I've never seen anything quite like it before, so putting a value on it is somewhat speculative, but these sort of unusual items do have great popularity today, and I suspect if this came up at auction, it would probably fetch, oh, a hundred and fifty, maybe two hundred pounds on a good day.

  • Can I have another quick go?
  • Oh, thank you.
  • Digitally refreshed.
