People kept pointing Tocuro at the clock on the mantel, the old book on the shelf, the perfume bottle on the vanity, and the little vase that never moves. Here is how to recognize each one when you see it at home.

Clocks — 8× vs. last week

Antique French Figural Mantel Clock

Found this week: Antique French Figural Mantel Clock — Est. $1065

Clocks showed up much more often than they did last week, led by a gilt bronze mantel clock with figural hunting details.

Look for a brass or gilt bronze case, a round dial, and small figures worked into the Rococo Revival form.

Books — 12× vs. last week

Carl Stephenson Mediaeval History Book

Found this week: Carl Stephenson Mediaeval History Book

Books jumped as well, and the example this week is a hardcover textbook on medieval European history.

Check the hardcover binding, the paper cover, and whether the text is a school edition of medieval history.

Perfume Bottles — 7× vs. last week

Art Glass Perfume Bottle

Found this week: Art Glass Perfume Bottle — Est. $109

Perfume bottles also rose, including a hand-blown art glass bottle with green ribbon inside the glass.

Hold it to the light and look for color trapped inside the glass, a small stopper, and a studio-made shape.

Vases — still a Tocuro staple

Capodimonte Style Miniature Pitcher Vase

Found this week: Capodimonte Style Miniature Pitcher Vase — Est. $18

Vases barely moved, and they remain a staple, with a miniature porcelain pitcher covered in molded flowers.

Look for a small pitcher body, raised porcelain flowers, and a glossy white ground.
