$250 USD ReducedREDUCED Boehm - Fledgling Red Poll - Rare Closed Edition, c. 1969
Porcelain:Boehm:"Red Poll"
The Boehm artists created another beautiful porcelain sculpture with this Red Poll. It is a piece that is not seen as often as other Fledgling Birds. This was released in 1968, and closed in 1973.

This was listed at $395.00 in the 2003 Complete Guide to The Porcelain Art of Edward Marshall Boehm, by Carol Marren. I have only seen a few Red Polls in recent years, and they were offered at $500.00. It is in Excellent ...

This is a modern Capodimonte porcelain sculpture by Germano Cortese, who has distinguished himself with his detailed and appealing pieces. All his pieces are signed and numbered.

$200 USD ReducedREDUCED Fenton Sample - Transparent Smoke Colored Owl Ring Tree
Glass:Fenton:Owl:Ring Tree
I bought some intriguing Fenton samples at auction; some of which were never put into production. Even the ones that were produced were in small quantities. I always consider that the designer's sample is going to be the best; the equivalent of an artist's proof in porcelain. Glass is always a challenge to photograph, and glass pieces look better in person than in photos, in my opinion. This Sample: Transparent Smoke Owl ring tree, 4.5" tall. Label indicates that this piece was made on 8-1-84, ...

This piece is so arresting; a real focal point of any room. It is a foot and a half tall (18 inches) and nearly two feet long (22 inches!). The colors are vivid and beautiful.

Fine Art:Sculptures:Carved Wood:Bible:David And Goliath
The story of David and Goliath is a beautiful and inspiring one. For the small shepherd boy to have brought down the giant Goliath and saved his people.

$2,000 USD Offers ConsideredREDUCED Very Early Borsato - "Orchardist" - Multi Figural Group, Exquisite Detail ; Signed,
Porcelain:Borsato:Capodimonte:"Orchardist"
How wonderful to find a Borsato with NO DAMAGE. Every leaf intact; colors vibrant. There is a great deal of difference between various pieces of the same design. Borsato is arguably the finest porcelain sculptor in the 20th Century. He died in an automobile accident in 1982. Partly because Borsato produced fewer pieces, since he wanted every detail to be perfect (and occasionally different). The turn of the head; the fingers (so rare to find them all intact!); and the expressions, have made ...

It is in Good to Very Good Condition, with somewhat less than the expected signs of age.
$250 USD ReducedREDUCED Lenox Belleek Pastel Floral Ewer Embossed in Gold, Elegant, c 1906-1924

By the shape, we must technically call this a ewer. I think it is incredibly beautiful if one puts perhaps 3 short stemmed blossoms; or else put it in your cabinet; a lovely piece of American Belleek to treasure. This is in Excellent Condition.
