$185 USD SaleSALE Georg Fischer Penny Toy Touring Vehicle and Half a Driver to Boot!
Collectibles:Toys:Penny Toys
From the very famous Georg Fischer toy company, you are viewing a top down touring car. This can be determined from the GF insignia on the sides of the doors. Condition is good by penny toy standards. There is the usual bare metal oxidation, paint scrapes and rubs. At some point, the windshield on the passenger side separated from the main body of the car. It’s difficult to see. It has only half a driver. But half is better than none! Items with a name brand command a higher price. But this one ...
$215 USDHammered Copper Arts and Crafts Inkstand
Collectibles:Writing Instruments
This is a wonderful example of early Arts and Crafts metal work, dating to the late 1800s. The metal is copper, hand hammered to create a wonderful rippled effect. The base is a thin sheet formed into a rectangular saucer. The inkwell is glass with cut facets around the side. The lid repeats the hammered design, but with smaller indents than the base. A ring tops the lid, creating a comfortable finial for ease of opening. Condition of this piece is very good, although someone at one time used it ...
$115 USDRosenthal Inkwell and Rocking Blotter
Collectibles:Writing Instruments:Inkwells
The clean lines and subtle gold trim of this set say elegance; the applied blue flowers say feminine. The perfect writing set for an early 20th century lady. The Rosenthal mark on the base of the inkstand dates it between 1907 and 1953 – we believe this was made in the 1920s or 1930s. The set is made up of an inkstand with attached inkwell and a blotter. The blotter has a porcelain ‘screw’, topped by the applied flower, which allows one to loosen the rocking portion and insert blotting paper. ...
$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. A small gold branch with leaves and three cherries adorns the inside bottom of the box. The base is double marked, once with the green R.S. Suhl ...
$125 USDH.L. Judd Expanding Book Rack – Owl design
Collectibles:Writing Instruments
These wise owls are silent guards of any books placed in this expanding book rack. Beautifully detailed, they perch on pine branches and are surrounded by an elegant Art Deco design style. This book rack was made by the H.L. Judd Foundry, probably in the early 1900s. We have included the page from an undated Judd catalogue that shows the book rack (bottom left). Since book ends with Teddy Roosevelt also appear on this page, we can assume the catalogue dates to after 1901 when Roosevelt became ...
$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. The wide rim is lusterware with an interesting geometric pattern around the edge. The bird, blossoms and leaves are decals ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$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 ...
$315 USDR.S. Prussia Bowl – Honeycomb Mold with Flower Basket
Porcelain:Antique:R S Prussia
This is one impressive and gorgeous bowl. Made in the honeycomb mold, Mold 34, this bowl features a basket full of roses and wild flowers in the center. The dome shapes around the side are soft green; every other one is decorated with a rose. The molded flowers around the top are white and blue, with gold highlights. Condition is very good, with just a tiny bit of wearing on the decals. There are no chips or cracks or scratches. The mark is the red R.S. Prussia mark; there is also the number 29 ...
$127 USDRS Germany Syrup Pitcher & Under plate – golden roses
Porcelain:Antique:R S Prussia
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. It was decorated with a combination of decal and hand painted gold embellishment. The decaled roses began as red, and were painted over with gold so that just portions of red show through. The leaves are also embellished with gold trim. A shadow foliage effect, used often in RS Prussia and Germany porcelain, can be seen ...
$115 USDRS Prussia Relish Tray – Roses, Watered Silk and Satin
Porcelain:Antique:R S Prussia
Everything about this little relish dish screams elegance, from the subtle pastel watered silk smudges on the edges, to the gently rippling mold pattern, the shadowy leaves and pink and white roses – and finally to the sensual satin finish. This is really a beautiful piece that really shimmers in the light. It includes open handles and bears the red wreath mark. It measures 9 5/8” long, 4 3/4" wide and 1 1/4" high. Condition is excellent. The decals are 100% intact and there are no scratches on ...
$650 USDRS Prussia – Large Hidden Image plate with two faces!!
Porcelain:Antique:R S Prussia
What a glorious and romantic plate this is – and one that you won’t see again soon. This large plate was made with a double image mold, featuring both a full frontal view and a profile. Both are of dreamy Art Nouveau styled ladies. The colors are spring: various shades of green with pastel lilac and blue around the ladies and highlighting the irises. There are two cut out handles; interestingly they are slightly different shapes in order to match the design on the plate. A simple spray of ...
$60 USDHand Painted Ceramic Inkwell – Square with attached Saucer
Collectibles:Writing Instruments:Inkwells
Picture the lady, gently nibbling the end of her pen as she considers the note she must write. Her delicate inkwell stands open, filled with ink, its saucer ready to catch the drips once she begins to write. What a sweet inkwell this is. The attached saucer’s corners are molded and outlined to look as though they are folded over. The delicate blue flowers and the red and gold detailing are hand painted on both inkwell and saucer. Condition is very good, with one flaw which likely occurred during ...
$65 USDRS Prussia – Tillowitz Tray – Pink Hibiscus and Gold Trim
Porcelain:Antique:R S Prussia
A simple shape but gorgeous flowers make this tray stand out. Various shades of pink and white hibiscus grace the surface, while a delicate gold trim laces around the edge. The background is green and yellow, and handles are double cut into the ends. This tray has the blue RS Tillowitz mark which dates it to the 1930s. Measurements are 11” by 8” and about 1/2" high. Condition is very good with the exception of a spot on the edge where the yellow glaze has come off (about 3/8” x 1/8”). The gold ...
$355 USDKralik Draped Iridescent Glass Inkwell with Art Nouveau Stand
Collectibles:Writing Instruments:Inkwells
We offer you a wonderful Art Nouveau inkstand and inkwell from the Bohemian glass house Kralik. The soft cranberry color, with its gold toned iridescence and draped pattern is complimented by the fluid shape and cut-out designs of the inkstand. It is truly a marvelous and elegant piece of Art Nouveau work from a by-gone era. The glass inkwell is in excellent condition, without chips, cracks or scratches. It features a hinged lid, cast in a leaf pattern. The hinge may be slightly bent, as the lid ...
$185 USDSmall enameled brass inkwell
Collectibles:Writing Instruments:Inkwells
This is a beautiful and rather unusual little inkwell. We believe it is made of brass, although it could possibly be bronze. The top and sides have been tooled with great detail, and then painted or enameled. The stand holds two metal inkwells, which can be seen when the hinged lid is lifted. The metal around the inserts is also tooled and painted. We are not sure of origin, although it came most recently from Britain. It has a bit of a Middle Eastern look to it. If it is Middle Eastern in ...
$155 USDSmall Black Cut Glass Inkwell
Collectibles:Writing Instruments:Inkwells
This small and elegant inkwell has the look of obsidian or jet; it is that most unusual color of glass, pure black. The faceted cut of the lid adds to the look of stone. The inkwell itself is nicely gut and beveled on the edges. It dates to the late 1900s and is probably English. Condition is good, with a couple of exceptions. There is a rather deep but very small (2 mm) chip on the back top edge right under the hinge. Based on its look, we think this may have been a burst bubble, but it could ...
$95 USDSmall Banded Agate Dip Pen and Box
Collectibles:Writing Instruments:Dip Pens
Although short (at 4 1/4" without nib), this pen has a wonderful feel to it. The beautiful banded agate handle is smooth and cool and feels great in the hand. The collar is metal. The nib is probably not original to the pen, but is in good usable condition. In fact, this pen is in excellent condition overall. There are no chips or cracks in the stone. The metal collar is intact with no cracks or dents. The color of the agate is marvelous – take a look at the picture with the light shining ...
$625 USDSigned Steuben Ivrene Grotesque bowl
Glass:Antique:Steuben
This is an unusual and rather misleading name for an absolutely gorgeous bowl! The Ivrene glass shimmers with an iridescence when the light shines just right, and the undulating folds make this a striking example of Steuben glass. It was made around 1929, and the shape is #7535. It measures 11 1/2" long, 7 1/4" wide, and 6” tall at its tallest point. The bowl is signed with an engraved ‘Steuben’ on the base. The photo shows part of the signature – it has to be viewed at just the right angle to ...
$137 USDSmall Champleve inkwell with flowers
Collectibles:Writing Instruments:Inkwells
Champlevé is similar to cloisonné in that it is made with enamel fired onto metal. But while cloisonné involves placing fine wires on a base metal and placing the enamel within the spaces remaining, champlevé involves carving those spaces out of the base metal. Many champlevé items were made in Europe, particularly France, during the late 1800s and early 1900s. This is a sweet example of such an inkwell. The main color is turquoise, but the corners are nice pale cream ‘lyre’ shapes, decorated ...
$170 USDSilver and Guilloche compact – Birmingham
Collectibles:Vanity Items:Compact
What a sweet little compact! This lovely silver and guilloche compact even has a ring, allowing it to be hung to a belt, or inside a handbag. The enamel is a beautiful soft, butterfly wing blue, with a nicely detailed pattern cut into the metal below. It measures just over 1 1/2 inches in diameter and is about 1/4" deep. The hallmarks inside are clearly imprinted: WMC (Wilmot Manufacturing Company); anchor (Birmingham); lion passant (standard mark); and an ‘s.’ The letter is the date mark, and ...
$1,225 USDSigned Steuben Aurene Perfume Bottle #1414
Glass:Antique:Steuben
This is one gorgeous piece of Steuben glass. Different backgrounds, different angles, different lighting all bring subtle changes to the color in the gold iridescent glass. We've tried to take pictures in a variety of ways to show all of the glowing shades hidden in this beauty - from blues, to greens, to rosy pink. Made in the early 1900s, this elegant perfume bottle measures just under 7.75" from base to top of stopper. It is in perfect condition - no chips, cracks or scratches. It is signed ...
$225 USDIridescent Bohemian Art Glass Inkwell – Kralik
Collectibles:Writing Instruments:Inkwells
The smooth green glass of this lovely inkwell begs to be stroked, while its subtle iridescence offers glimpses of purple and gold when light shines on it. This elegant inkwell is a lovely example of Bohemian art glass from the turn of the last century. It was made in the late 1800s or very early 1900s by the Bohemian glass house Kralik. This attribution has been made, following extensive research, by Bohemian glass expert Alfredo Villanueva-Collado. More information can be found on his Loetz and ...
$255 USDStollwerck Lilliputian Savings Bank with Key
Collectibles:Banks
Stollwerck has been a household name for chocolate for almost 170 years in Europe. Today it is multinational organization with candy producing plants in Russia, Germany, and Poland. In 1902, it had a plant in Stamford, Connecticut. What better way to keep your name in front of the public than putting your candy in an age-enduring container such as a bank. Eat the candy, fill the bank up with pennies, and go buy some more candy! Undoubtedly, this bank came from that plant in Connecticut. The bank ...
$345 USDSeated “Black Forest” Bear Inkstand with pen rest
Collectibles:Writing Instruments:Inkwells
We do enjoy Black Forest Bears, and we just love this one. This bear’s personality shines through his open mouthed grin and wonderful brown glass eyes. He was probably carved at the end of the 19th or very first part of the 20th century. These Black Forest bears were actually carved in and around a city in Switzerland called Brienz. This region of Switzerland considered the bear its mascot and many of the famous wooden pieces carved here included bears. This is a particularly nice example of ...
$325 USDIrice Czechoslovakian Dangle Perfume – Green Bell Dangles
Collectibles:Vanity Items
The bells of spring are ringing on this cute little Czechoslovakian miniature perfume. These little perfumes were originally called “Little Drams”, although they are commonly known now as Dangle Perfumes. Made in Czechoslovakia in the 1920s and 30s, they were imported into the USA by Irice. Irice was an import company run by Irving W. Rice (hence the company name). Irice still operates today, but their current products are made in Asian countries. This little bottle has the name Irice molded ...
