Large Old Porcelain Cat Figurine - Bright
Teal Color! ~ This vintage ceramic kitty is really unusual.
I wish I knew who made it and when, but the only discernable markings are
a number 8 and a 4 in separate places on the bottom. The rather
oriental looking cat is 8" tall and about 5" across the widest
point from the back to the chest. The color is a very striking
bright teal blue with a shiny glaze. Other than some very tight and
small crazing lines, I couldn't find anything to call a flaw. This
is nice quality, heavy ceramic -- the cat weighs just under 1.5 pounds. |

Tall Ceramic German Shepherd
Dog Figurine w/ Shiny Glaze ~ This guy is SO cute! He stands
slightly over 10" tall, is about 4" across the widest point, and
is in excellent condition. There are no chips, cracks or
crazing. The only marking is a tiny blue sticker on the bottom that
reads just "Japan" -- no other makers marks. I have no
idea how old he is. Look at that sweet face.... just BEGGING for a
new owner to love him! So whaddya say? :-) |

Large & Colorful Full
Figure Czechoslovakia Toby Jug / Mug ~ Brightly painted Toby
measuring 6" tall and approximately 6" deep from the front point
of his hat to the handle. I wish I could say he was in perfect but, alas,
it has a hairline crack that runs in a circle through the piece. It
starts in the front lower corner, extends up through his left
leg across to the right under his left arm, down to the back corner, then
across the bottom to the front corner. If you click on the photo for a
close-up, you'll see that he still is an excellent display piece. This
hairline is facing the camera and, as you can see in the photo, it is not easily noticed with normal inspection. Some minor paint loss
around the piece. He would be worth significantly more in mint condition,
and who will know the difference but you?! |

Nice 8" Tall Pink Porcelain Flower Vase - Beehive Mark
~ A very nice baby pink vase with applied flowers and gold painted trim; in perfect condition with no chips or cracks. It is marked on the bottom, but I have not been able to confirm the manufacturer or the date it was made. The mark is a beehive with 2 cross lines inside, a hatch-mark line crossing the flat portion of the hive, and a single dot over the domed portion. There is also a number 7215 under the flat portion of the mark. It is most similar to the mark used by Arnart Imports of New York between 1957 and 1981. I acquired this interesting piece in S.E. Pennsylvania. |
