c.1900 Hotel Jefferson Porcelain Shell Shaped Nut Dish - St. Louis Missouri ~ A very pretty 5" diameter nut or candy dish from an estate in Maryland of a man who was nearly 100 when he passed away. The bottom mark indicates it was made c. 1900 by the Maddock Pottery Company in Trenton, New Jersey for the Hotel Jefferson in St. Louis, MO. It reads "Hotel Jefferson" on the bottom, and has their logo on the inside. Probably a memento of a long-ago trip with his wife of 60+ years. |

Czech Erphila Blue Spotted 2.5" Creamer ~ Very nice older piece of Czechoslovakian pottery measuring approximately 2.5" high and 4" wide from handle to spout. No chips, but there is a hairline that starts at the rim, goes straight down to the base, then curves around the side. This damage is facing the camera so, as you can see, the piece is still in nice display condition. In mint condition it would be worth much more, but we are offering it at a lower price to compensate for its flaws. |

Rare Royal Doulton Austrialia Fish Dish ~ The Old Wife Pattern ~ I'd never seen this design before when I ran across this gorgeous Royal Doulton fish plate/dish/bowl in London. It features a really pretty green, blue, red and yellow background, green lily pad type leaves, and two striped fish. The back is marked with the Royal Doulton lion & crown mark, as well as a fish design, and the words "D5966 The Old Wife Regd in Australia". There is also an impressed number 8267 and some other impressed numbers I can't make out. I have searched the internet and cannot find another like it. I assume it was made for UK export to Australia. It is my understanding that this pattern was made between 1938 and 1955. It measures about 9.5" by 7.25" and the edge sits about 1.25" high off the table. It's not a plate, nor deep enough to be a bowl per se, so "snack dish" would probably be the most accurate description. There is fair to moderate crazing (mostly on the back), but I did not find any chips or cracks. Some minor amount of discoloration on the back near the crazing. The front of the dish (as seen in the photo) is as close to mint as could be expected for an older piece. |

CARDEW Ceramic TEAPOT Shaped Tartea Lapel PIN Signed by Paul Cardew ~ Very cute ceramic pin called Tartea (or Tart-Tea) made by Cardew. It measures 1.5" high by 2" wide. The transfer image is glazed, but the rest of the teapot is left in a non-shiny unglazed bisque style. This piece was personally signed for me by Paul Cardew on April 29, 2001 at the International Collector's Exposition. It is very hard to find, and would make a nice gift for the jewelry, teapot and/or Cardew collector. The pin is new, never used. Mr. Cardew told me that the pinbacks had a tendency to become unattached from the ceramic, so you might want to give it a little shot of superglue before wearing it. |

German Hand Painted Sauce or Gravy Dish / Handled Bowl ~ This very lovely dish is marked on the back "Made in Germany in a red circle mark. It does not indicate the exact maker, so I was not able to confirm its age, but it's definitely vintage. It measures 5.75" high and 7.25" across from the spout tip to the handle. It only stands about 1.25" high, so I believe it might be considered a sauce dish or gravy of some sort. In excellent condition with no damage. Some very minor wear to the gold trim. A beautiful hand painted piece! |

Antique French Limoges Game Bird Plate #9 ~ Beautiful early 1900's handpainted Limoges game bird plate entirely hand painted and signed by one artist (Muville), in exceptional condition with no chips, cracks, crazing, or evidence of repairs. Eleven matching plates are available.... buyers can choose any quantity. Our price is only $150 per plate, although the 1996 Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain (2nd Edition) lists an average book value of $250 to $400 EACH for similar game plates. Each plate features a different flying and/or standing bird scene -- they appear to be quail, ducks (mallards), pheasants, geese and/or sandpipers. Each plate measures 9.5" in diameter with a 7/8" ornate scalloped gold rim. All plates from this set are double marked with underglaze green Limoges France and star (Kovels #153G) Latrille Freres Mark #1 (factory), and a red overglaze (decorator mark) Lazeyras, Rosenfeld, and Lehman Mark #3 (Encyclopedia of Limoges by M. Gaston). They were fired between 1899 and 1913, and painted no later than 1922. Both companies were contemporary to Haviland from the Limoges region of France. All plates have a very minor degree of rubbing/swirls in the gold rim from handling and/or age. No other apparent flaws. Shipping is $8 for the first plate, and $2 for each additional plate. If a USA buyer purchases ALL 11 plates, we will offer FREE insured shipping in the continental USA. If you live outside the USA, contact us for your discount. |
