Cabinet plate with Lady and Cupid – Cobalt and Gold

$85 USDCabinet plate with Lady and Cupid – Cobalt and Gold

Porcelain
We were first struck by the wonderful whimsy of the picture in the middle of this early 20th century cabinet plate. And then we were caught by the luscious cobalt blue and gold on the rim, and those soft hand painted flowers. A hard-to-resist display plate! The center transfer is of a rather mischievous young lady who appears to have stolen Cupid’s arrow filled quiver. Cupid has retaliated by handcuffing the lady with a silken scarf. They are both smiling at the game – who will make the next ...
SALE Porcelain elephant creamer – Nippon Made in Japan

$85 USD SaleSALE Porcelain elephant creamer – Nippon Made in Japan

Porcelain:Japanese
What a charming fellow this is, as he sits with his mouth and eyes wide open, hoping to pour cream into someone’s coffee. This figural creamer is glazed with a soft satiny glaze – not matte, but definitely not glossy either. Details are painted on by hand. He is in perfect condition, without chips or cracks and only very slight paint loss on one ear. The mark is one we have not yet been able to identify. It does say Nippon, which was generally not used after 1928; however we believe this little ...
Goebel Hummel #57/0 Chick Girl

$95 USDGoebel Hummel #57/0 Chick Girl

Porcelain:Goebel:Hummel
Time to gather up the chicks who’ve wandered off from their mother, and this little girl won the task. She’s already put two into her basket and has found a third. What a cute scene this is! This is a smaller figurine at about 3.5” high and 3” in diameter. The mark on the base is the early TMK#3 – stamped within an incised circle, which dates it between 1957 and 1960.

Footed Nippon Vase with Sunset over water scene

$95 USDFooted Nippon Vase with Sunset over water scene

Porcelain:Nippon
Look at this vase on a dreary winter day, and you will be transported to a dreamy sunset by the water. Depending on where you live, you may want to do that a lot! This is a lovely Nippon vase, hand painted in soft, rosy colors with a matte finish. The sun is just setting behind the water, almost silhouetting the trees in the foreground. The design wraps to a certain extent around the vase. The vase has four legs and two handles, which are decorated with pale green and red “jewels.” Measurements ...

$365 USDGoebel Hummel #178 The Photographer

Porcelain:Goebel:Hummel
Helped by his “best friend”, this little man is ready to join the ranks of Ansel Adams. He gazes intently into the old-fashioned camera, while his pup waits patiently to become part of the photo. A polka dotted bandanna and unruly cowlick complete the look. This adorable Hummel figurine is in perfect condition, with no chips, cracks or crazing to be seen. It measures about 4.5” high, 4” wide and just under 2.5” deep. The trademark is a variation of #4, which dates this piece to between 1964 and ...

This is the 6” sized Apple Tree Girl, with the early TMK#3 - stamped within an incised circle. This dates it between 1957 and 1960. The number 141/1 is impressed into the base, and the number ‘6’ has been hand painted on ...

It was made in the Steeple Mold #17 (again, based on Gaston’s numbering). This bowl is loaded with gold trim and little flowers. Condition is very good to excellent.

RS Prussia Covered Box – Night Watchmen

$185 USDRS Prussia Covered Box – Night Watchmen

Porcelain:Antique:R S Prussia
This is a quite rare and unusual R.S. Prussia box featuring Rembrandt’s Night Watchmen. The Schlegelmilch company used two different Night Watchmen transfers; this is the one with a woman in the center. The background is light brown shading to dark brown – a typical background for this transfer. The shape is an asymmetrical diamond with rounded corners.

R.S. Prussia – Tillowitz Plate with Bird

$90 USDR.S. Prussia – Tillowitz Plate with Bird

Porcelain:Antique:R S Prussia
This perky nuthatch clings to a branch that scarcely seems thick enough to hold him, but he doesn’t seem to care. The branch is filled with pink blossoms and spring has arrived! This plate bears the R.S. Tillowitz mark which was used by the Reinhold Schlegelmilch company during the 1930s and into the 40s. This plate measures 9 3/4" in diameter and has two cut out handles.

RS Germany (Tillowitz) Bowl with Mill Scene

$115 USDRS Germany (Tillowitz) Bowl with Mill Scene

Porcelain:Antique:R S Prussia
This pretty scenic bowl has the RS Tillowitz/Silesia mark and dates to the early 1930s. The border has a luster glaze. The image is one of two Mill scenes found on RS Germany marked dishes – they are not the same Mill scenes found on RS Prussia marked dishes. This one presumably shows the mill from the back, as the water wheel can’t be seen. Similar dishes can be seen in Gaston’s ‘Collector’s Encyclopedia of RS Prussia: Fourth Series’ on page 74. Condition of this plate is very good. There is a ...
R.S. Prussia Bowl – Mold 29 with Wildflowers

$215 USDR.S. Prussia Bowl – Mold 29 with Wildflowers

Porcelain:Antique:R S Prussia
The wildflowers in the center of this lovely bowl look as though they might be nestled in a woodland meadow somewhere. Their beauty is accentuated by the molded flowers around the edge, and the rose buds and stenciled leaves decorating the sides. Although unmarked (except for an impressed ‘17’ on the base), this bowl is unmistakably R.S. Prussia. A plate in the same mold and floral pattern can be seen in Gaston’s Collector’s Encyclopedia of R.S. Prussia (Fourth Series) on page 55. This bowl is ...
RS Prussia Bowl with flowers and cut-out rim

$195 USDRS Prussia Bowl with flowers and cut-out rim

Porcelain:Antique:R S Prussia
An early summer bunch of flowers peeks out from this sweet, delicate bowl. This bowl has the Steeple Mark #3 (based on Mary Frank Gaston’s numbering system) and was made in the Steeple Mold #7 (also based on Gaston’s numbers). The wonderful thing about this bowl is the way the rim has been cut out, adding a lacy feel to this piece. The finish on this bowl is semi-gloss rather than a high gloss, which also adds to the delicate look. The colors are pastel, other than one part which has a fairly ...
Pair Royal Worcester Vases – Worcestershire Cottages, signed Holford

$375 USDPair Royal Worcester Vases – Worcestershire Cottages, signed Holford

Porcelain:Antique:Royal Worcester
These two little vases are from a series produced by Royal Worcester called ‘Cottages in Worcestershire and Warwickshire’ (pattern #Z160). The marks on these beauties date them to 1929.

Rosenthal studio-haus bisque angel blowing a horn

$65 USDRosenthal studio-haus bisque angel blowing a horn

Porcelain:Rosenthal
This sweet little angel looks ready for Christmas – or possibly to become someone’s special guardian angel. Made of unglazed white bisque, it is the perfect little figure, sitting with legs partially crossed, a little cloth draped strategically over his (her?) lap. His cheeks are puffed as he gets ready to play sweet music through his horn. The base is marked Rosenthal studio-haus. This is a Rosenthal line that primarily creates pieces for home decoration and as gift giving. This particular ...
R.S. Prussia plate – Mme Recamier with lattice edge

$325 USDR.S. Prussia plate – Mme Recamier with lattice edge

Porcelain:Antique:R S Prussia
Madame Recamier gazes soulfully from this elegant 8” plate. The unusual reticulated lattice work provides a nice counterpoint to the rich red and gold decoration surrounding the portrait. The portrait itself fills most of the plate, and is really marvelous. The plate bears the green R.S. Suhl. mark which, according to Mary Gaston, dates this plate to sometime between 1900 and 1917. Condition is excellent, with no chips or scratches. The gold details are 100% intact, and there is just a little ...

$99 USDR.S. Prussia – Germany Three Handled Nappy with Bird

Porcelain:Antique:R S Prussia
A nuthatch perches jauntily on a branch of spring blossoms, ready to burst into song. Spring is here! This little dish is marked with the blue R.S. GERMANY mark and dates to the 1920s or possibly early 30s. It features three handles with a geometric, almost Art Deco shape. The background is a pale, spring blue. The bird, and we believe the blossoms as well, are decals while the branches appear to be hand painted. Condition is excellent with no chips, cracks or scratches on the decal. There are a ...

This pretty syrup pitcher with under plate is the perfect blend of simple and ornate. The mold shape has clean, elegant lines but the decoration is quite detailed and ornate.

Limoges Porcelain Box – Inkwell Shaped, Signed Parry Vieille

$135 USDLimoges Porcelain Box – Inkwell Shaped, Signed Parry Vieille

Porcelain:Limoges
The blue of this inkwell shaped novelty box glows and mesmorizes, while the flowers and gold trim bring back by-gone days when quill pens and inkwells were the common writing utensils. This box was made by the Limoges company Parry Vieille in the later part of the 1900s. This company is considered one of the best contemporary Limoges companies; their pieces were all designed, manufactured, decorated and mounted by their own artists. Parry Vieille is no longer in business, which means that this ...
