This an interesting period Art Nouveau tin or lead glazed pottery pair of vases. I have heard this type of work is called “Flemish Art Pottery.” The color, design, craftsmanship and patina are great and is definitely in the Majolica family. The rounded square shape give these pieces their look. They measures 12” tall and has a maximum diameter of 4 ½”. Wouldn’t they make an impressive pair of lamps?
We have a wonderful brass ormalu mounted animal horn Epergne. Some might call this a cornucopia or horn of plenty. The detail of the mounting alone is wonderful, but the addtional fittings on the horn itself show that this epergne was quality made. Pieces like this in the $1,000's when you find one. This antique piece though is quite reasonable. The brass base is sturdy and has very ornate scrolling detail. It is a quite large, measuring 14” from end to end and is 17” tall and measures ...click for details
This unusually designed Japanese Porcelain We specialize in Japanese Imari. This plate from the Arita region of Japan is quite heavy for its 9” diameter size. The color and design of this scalloped edge plate is very attractive. C. 1880.
This finely painted and beautiful design Japanese porcelain plate measures 8 ¼” in diameter. Notice the amazing detail of the artwork. It dates from the late 19th Century. We currently have an extensive selection of fine Imari pieces. Please contact us for details.
I actually have two pair of these enormous and incredible altar sticks (a total of four available). This listing is for just one pair. They are painted wood and have a great look and feel. They are around 100 years old and stand 28 ½” tall and have a maximum diameter of 6 ¼”. These likely came out of a church in Eastern Europe.
This is an early hand forged metal tray that has a nicely painted boarder, but just needs some touch-up to the center of the solid black area of the tray. This still shows well and has a nice 100 year old original patina. It measures 14” x 11 ½”.
This is a nice size Toleware Tray that measures 17 ½” by 14”. The hand painting is not original, but is vintage. The tray is from the 1930’s and has a nice Pennsylvania - Dutch or Colonial feel to it. This shows nicely on the wall, and we will even through in a new fitted plate hanger. The colors of this tray are very versatile in today’s decorating.
We normally don’t do much in the way of glass, but this little cup caught my eye. The thick ruby glass cup just drops down into the brass holder which has nice workmanship on it. The bases is weighted much like a brass candlestick would be. The Chalice is 7 ½” tall and has a maximum diameter of 4 ½”. The red glass cup has a clear quartersize bottom and when removed, it measures 4 ½” tall by 3 ¾” in diameter.
These cute little square plates we believe to be Imari even though they do not have the typical under-glazed blue rings on the underneath foot of the plate. They could be a Chinese version, although the porcelain seems to be consistent with the Arita region. These are likely the from the first quarter of the 1900’s. They measure just over 5 ½” square.
Isn’t this a cute little bowl? The small oval bowl, C. 1890, measures 6 ½” by 5 ¼” by 1 ½” deep and depicts in the center an open book and a fan along with a finely painted inside rim. You don’t see this form everyday. It would be a great addition to the person who needs a different piece other than the typical 8” plate.
