$103 USDc1900 Large Redware Bowl with Green & Brown Slip from Denmark
Antiques:Redware:Denmark:Slip Decorated Bowl
A festive antique redware large bowl or milk pan from Scandinavia that is just over 100 years old. This bowl is made from common red clay and was finished by turning on a pottery lathe (see photos of back side). The interior of the bowl is covered with a cream colored thick clay slip and then trailings of rich copper green and iron brown slip were applied following a very ancient European decorative tradition going back more than 600 years. This bowl has ‘DENMARK’ impressed into its base along ...
$159 USDc1830 Yellowware Toy Chamber Pot with Relief Sprigging decoration
Antiques:Yellowware:Toy Chamber Pot
A miniature, toy-size yellowware chamber pot with applied sprig motifs from about 1830. And if you collect antique Staffordshire yellowwares (aka yelloware, yellow-ware), then you already know how scarce it is to find these miniature examples today, especially one with applied flower sprigging from more than 160 years. The applied sprigs on this chamber pot are very detailed and even the small handle has splayed foliate terminals. One of the applied clay sprigs is identical to sprigging found on ...
$165 USDBennington Parian Lily of Valley Porcelain Plate from the 1847 to 1858 period in Excellent Condition
Antiques:Parian Porcelain:Bennington:Lily Plate
Nice decorative Parian porcelain plate with flower pattern in strong relief and produced by the United States Pottery, Bennington, Vermont in about 1850. The United States Pottery (Bennington) produced a limited range of parian flatware between 1847 and 1858. In fact, of the roughly 2,000 examples of authenticated Bennington USP wares described in Barret (1958), there are just nine examples of Parian plates, underplates, cup plates and saucers. This includes all pottery, stoneware and porcelain ...
$84 USDc1890 English Ironstone Stick Spatter/Cut Sponge Plate
Pottery:Antique:Stick Spatter:Cut Sponge:Plate
A primitive but pleasing cut sponge decorated plate with rich red flower heads between blue bands adorning the rim. The deep red stamped motifs make this plate stand out in most any setting or lighting. Some Staffordshire collectors also refer to this type of decoration as stick spatter or design spatter because of the unevenness of the stamped motifs and their spatter-like qualities. And this particular plate is rather scarce today since it falls at the very tail end of the cut sponge tradition ...
$52 USDc1835 Staffordshire Creamware Cup Plate with Blue Willow Pattern
Pottery:Antique:Blue Willow:Cup Plate:Creamware
A late transitional creamware, 4 inch diameter, Blue Willow pattern cup plate in superb condition for the ultimate cup plate connoisseur. It is a thinly potted cup plate from the 1830s and has a notched rim that creates a “rounded octagonal” rim pattern. The rounded octagonal rim is created by eight notches that separate eight gently rounded or arcing rim subsections. Rim notching on more angular octagon plates (i.e., less rounded octagons) goes back to the mid to late 18th century on many ...
$135 USDOil Painting on Oval Canvas: Still Life of Fall Fruit & Bowl c1890
Fine Art:Paintings:Still Life:Oil Painting:Canvas
American Still Life oil painting with fall harvest theme of ‘fruit in a bowl’ from the first aesthetic ‘arts & crafts’ movement of the late 1800s. And the more I study this oil painting, the more unanswered question seem to arise. While upon first reflection, this painting simply looked like a late Victorian Period still life with a distinct harvest theme of peaches, grapes, flowers & foliage of the fall season. Then upon closer study, one notices the missing tips of some the leaves along the ...
$91 USDc.1818-25 Historical Dark Blue Plate in Musketeer Pattern by Rogers
Pottery:Antique:Flow Blue:English:Rogers & Son
Nice dark blue plate in the Musketeer pattern (Rogers) from about 1818-25 period with a wavy and gadroon rim after the style of silver dishes of the period (see notes below). And this plate also exhibits some distinctive and important attributes that place it among the higher quality Staffordshire type wares produced during the earliest phase of the historical dark blue tradition. Of course, it is made of the earlier pearlware paste and not the later and heavier ironstone varieties that were ...
$133 USDc1860 Texas Stoneware Double Handled Loving Cup
Antiques:Stoneware:Clay Slipped & Saltglaze
This is a nice example of early North Texas stoneware dating from the Civil War period or earlier. The brown clay exterior slip used on it is not the high gloss Albany type slip that would become so dominant after the railroads were extended through Texas, but rather the more localized natural clay washes found in before 1870. This all changed after 1872 when railroads reach North Texas and imported new materials and influences now affected local stoneware potteries. This stoneware cup is ovoid ...
$769 USDc1830 Golden Amber Midwestern spiral ribbed hand blown demijohn with pontil and folded lip
Antiques:Bottle:Demijohn:Hand Blown
An American Midwestern spiral pattern 20 rib globular demijohn with ring pontil and outwardly folded lip from the 1820s or 1830s. This large bottle was once covered with wicker as stains on its base reveal (see below). The bottle holds about 2.4 gallons (about 315 ounces) and stands almost 16 inches tall. It has a maximum diameter of about 10 inches and a circumference of 32 inches. The exact color of the glass is hard to capture perfectly and so the photos included here show this bottle under ...
Antiques:Pewter:English:Hot Water Plate
Antique pewter hot water plates with identifiable maker’s provenance are uncommon today. According to one Winterthur reference, plate warmers were an 18th century manifestation and two American pewter makers probate inventories from Philadelphia help illustrate how these vessels increased in frequency toward the end of the century. They were simply called water plates in probate inventories. Pewter maker Simon Edgell died in 1742 and an inventory of his pewter wares listed just one water plate ...
$85 USDc1840 English Porcelain Cup & Saucer with Temperance Movement
Porcelain:Antique:Commemorative:Temperance Movement
In the 1830s, various Temperance movements began to organize and spread across the United States and Europe. This particular cup and saucer comes from the mid to late 1840s when these movements were gaining greater momentum. The cup and saucer offered here are an original matching set and both have the same primary printed motif of a young man and woman flanking a temperance coat of arms and holding banner flags with ‘SOBRIETY’ and ‘ DOMESTIC COMFORT.’ Other logos on the coat of arms include ...
Pottery:Antique:Yellowware Bowl:Brown & White Bands
Large 19th century yellowware bowl (aka yellow ware, yellow-ware, etc.) with a nice rolled rim, protruding foot ring and a broad band of white slip that is tastefully accented with reddish-brown slip trailed borders. This huge antique bowl is even larger than many 19th century platters. The slip bands lines are visibly thick and rise up from the surface, and this is an attribute not present on many post 1900 banded yellowwares. Also, the base on this bowl is recessed upward and sits on a tall ...
$95 USDTWO 1850s Copper Luster Bands English Ironstone 12 Paneled Gothic Plates by Edward Walley
Pottery:Antique:Copper Luster Ironstone:Edward Walley
A fine matching pair of bluish tint twelve paneled English ironstone plates in superb condition (see below) with lustre bands in the gothic genre by Edward Walley. These plates follow in the foot steps of the popular paneled Gothic patterns of the 1840s. Edward Walley (see Walley backstamps in photos below) produced these plates and his pottery was in production under his name only from 1845 to 1856 (Godden 1964:644; mark # 3988). And so these two plates are from the period precisely when upper ...
$108 USDc.1810 Country House & Stags Lustre & Transfer Printed Staffordshire Pearlware Dish
Antiques:Lustrewares/Lusterwares:Transfer Print:Staffordshire
A large saucer dish (8.25 inches across) from a tea service that would have been used for serving breads or pastries. Its decoration features a pleasing combination of purplish luster bands encircling a bat printed transfer of a British country estate overlooking a wooded pond as two antlered deer move in the foreground. The use of stags in Staffordshire transfer prints extends back to the late 1700s although this dish dates to the early 1800s, about 1810 to be more precise. All of the ...
Antiques:Stoneware:Salt Glaze:American
Although this stoneware crock does not have a maker’s name it certainly shares many characteristics with the earliest wares produced by the Red Wing Stoneware Company that operated from 1877 to 1906. The crock is marked with a bee sting style motif along with the number four trailed cobalt blue. Others have called this style capacity mark a Target, Lazy 8, Drop 8, Bumble Bee, etc. These markings are rendered by hand and are not stamped or stenciled as found on later wares produced after about ...
$385 USDc1760 Polychrome Rouen Faience “decor a la Corne” Plate
Antiques:French Faience:Rouen Tin Glaze:18th Century Polychrome
A true museum-quality 18th century French faience plate or dish decorated in the cornucopia pattern in high temperature polychrome enamels (Grand Feu) that was very popular in the 1740 to 1770 period. French faience surpassed the best English and Dutch delftware of the period and its patterns were often copied by other European potteries. This plate has a distinctive lobed rim made up of 12 reverse curved segments that was popular among faience makers in the 1750s and 1760s. Also, the tin glaze ...
$68 USD1911 (dated & signed) BIGELOW, KENNARD Co. Royal Worcester Porcelain Cream Pitcher
Porcelain:By Maker Or Type:Royal Worcester Porcelain:Bigelow, Kennard Co:Signed & Dated
This little blue ground cream pitcher comes with a legacy of famous names stretching back more than four centuries. In fact, there are two clearly printed marks in purple, a hand painted 8682 (seen in reflected light only) and two sets of small numbers scratched into the glass (520 and 766). The purple printed marks include a Royal Worcester mark of the style used after 1891. In this particular case, there are twenty small dots added around the Worcester mark to indicate that this little pitcher ...
$138 USDT&R Boote 1851 Octagon Ironstone Covered Tureen & Stand
Antiques:British Ironstone:Tureen With Tray:Dated Pattern:Bootes Octagon
Nice molded white antique Ironstone tureen, cover and matching tray in Bootes Octagon Pattern from 1851. This pattern was very popular in the United States and this example has the impressed mark of the firm of T&R Boote along with the Registry date of July 21, 1851 on the underside of the stand. The Boote pottery was located in Burslem, Staffordshire, England and exported its ironstone wares around the world.

$57 USD1904 St. Louis Exposition & World’s Fair Souvenir Nickel Plated Folding Pocket Cup
Collectibles:Historical:1904 St Louis Exposition:World Fair:Folding Cup
This antique plated brass collapsible cup is the perfect gift for the commemorative collector or historical relic connoisseur. It displays a view of the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy at the 1904 St. Louis Exposition and World’s Fair. That particular exhibition hall measured 525 by 750 feet and offered nine acres of exhibits and public space. It was designed by Theodore Link and had grand overhanging eaves and deep porticos making it one of the most interesting of the great exhibit palaces at ...
Fine Art:Paintings:Water Color:Sepia:Artist Signed:19th Century
An original antique watercolor in sepia brown signed by artist (signed LJL) of a harbor scene with American tall ship under sail in foreground and other water craft activity. The water color dates from the 1800 to 1830 based on the painting medium and style, the types of ships and the style of signature of the artist. The scene also portrays various atmospheric effects that were fashionable to capture in the early nineteenth century paintings. Sepia or monochrome brown water color paintings were ...
$375 USDc1765 Italian Polychrome Faience Plate by Pasquale Rubati (Milan)
Antiques:Italian Faience:Milan Polychrome:Pasquale Rubati
A superb example of an Italian tin-glazed plate (aka Italian faience) with hanging garlands of flowers and a central rose spray in the petit-feu tradition. The polychrome floral decoration follows the style of the latest European porcelains of the period, which in turn were fashioned after Chinese enameled porcelain of the early to mid 1700s. Some collectors also prefer to place Italian tin-glazed under the label “maiolica” (also spelled majolica) rather than faience. Others use the term ...
$180 USDc1785-95 SPODE Brown Decorated Creamware Brimmed Bowl with Impressed Mark
Antiques:Creamware:Spode Plate:18th Century:Brown Hand Painted
DESCRIPTION: A visually attractive creamware dish from a historically well known family that started with the factory of Josiah Spode I in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. Initially, the Spode family made their name in transfer printed pearlwares and subsequently went on to produce high quality bone china (after 1790) and then very durable grayish stone china (after 1805). Consequently, this dish is a rare example that dates back to their initial ceramic ventures during the last two decades of the ...
$64 USDc.1840 Pair of Gaudy Welsh Small Dishes in the Grape Pattern (two dishes)

NICE Pair of Gaudy Welsh Small Dishes in the Grape Pattern in Very Good Condition with free USPS insured shipping for any US mainland address. Docs Antiques is able to offer these for a price of just $65 for the pair (both dishes are 4 ½ inches in diameter). They have the same hand painted motifs of rich underglaze dark blue fanned leaves and stems covered with overglaze fruit and leaves in enamels of reddish-orange, red, light green and pink lustre accents. The pink lustre over the dark blue ...
$169 USDc1840 Southern Ash Glaze (Alkaline Glaze) Stoneware Mortar & Original Pestle
Antiques:Stoneware (American):Southern Ash Glaze/Alkaline Glaze:Mortar & Pestle
Southern US alkaline glazed stoneware mortar with original wood pestle in very good condition. This mortar was thrown by undoubtedly an expert who also knew the merits of designing a good mortar first hand. That is, potters in more remote areas frequently had to grind and powder their own metallic additives for coloring glazes or making special slips. This mortar has the perfect interior lip to prevent its powdered contents from splashing out during grinding. It also has a nice olive green ash ...
$42 USDc. 1900 Checkered & Brown Slipped Cream Colored Child-size Teacup and Saucer
Collectibles:Decorative Arts
Child or toy-size teacup and saucer with overall brown slip and a checkered pattern (engine turned) band on the cup. This type of ware is frequently called “mocha” by some folks, however, that is merely a popularized label than an accurate use of the term. Nevertheless, Docs Antiques is pleased to offer this interesting C&S set for those who enjoy slip wares trimmed on a pottery lathe. The cup and saucer listed here has a cream colored slip covering a cane colored body which is also typical for ...
$89 USDc1795 Green Feather edge (aka Shell-edged) Staffordshire Pearlware Cup Plate
Pottery:Antique:Featheredge:Shelledge:Green:Cup Plate
Late 18th century 4 3/16 inch diameter British Pearlware Cup Plate with strong emerald green accenting and an asymmetrically lobed shell-edged rim motif. The cockled rim motif and strong green color make this cup plate very desirable among shell edge/feather edge plate collectors. And while many folks like to refer to this rim motif as “featheredge” (or “feather-edge” or “feather edge”), it was originally marketed as shell edge as ceramic historians and others have noted for over thirty-five ...
$52 USDc1845 Green Peacock Feather & Flowers Transfer Printed Plate with Hand Painted Highlights
Pottery:Antique
Very appealing green peacock feather transfer printed 9 1/4 inch plate with hand colored flowers from the 1840 to 1850 period in superb condition. This plate displays a nice balance of between the crisply printed feathers and the limited use of color highlighting in the same period that dense flow blue and flow mulberry were also fashionable. In comparison to those often muddy and very dense patterns, this plate would have stood out as a pleasant change. And while some of the transfer on this ...
Antiques:French Faience:Teapot:Polychrome
A fine globular faience teapot with enamel flowers in the stylized Chinese famille rose manner adopted by Strasbourg decorators after 1749. The crimson-purple (carmine) on this teapot is one color that has not yet been perfectly matched by any post 1800 reproductions (Savage and Newman 2000:276; Cox 1968:803; Lane 1946) The asymmetry of the floral sprays show the rococo style even though the vessel lacks the associated molded elements. And although some Strasbourg decorators under Paul Hannong’s ...
$115 USDPrimitive Antique Baby Walker on Iron Castors as an Unusual Decorative Accent
Antiques:Primitives:Baby Walker:Iron Casters, Iron And Wood Parts
Puritan-Style Baby Walker made from wood and iron with all parts in working order (recommended for decorative use only and not for toddler use). This primitive baby walker is from the early 1900s. And while many of us today may think walkers and baby scooters were a 20th century invention, this example reminds us of their timelessness. In particular, I recall seeing a walker in a 17th century Dutch painting depicted with toddler in tow skidding across a tile covered floored. In fact, there were ...
$66 USDc1805 Flying Pennant Transfer Pattern Pedestal Pearlware Egg Cup
Pottery:Antique:Pearlware:Flying Pennant Pattern:Egg Cup
Nice framed (or belted) early blue transfer printed pearlware pedestal style egg cup in the Flying Pennant pattern from the 1795 to 1815 period. This rather rare pearlware vessel form was originally made to be seated within a larger holding tray. And while collectors often view this vessel form simply as an ‘egg cup’, it could also function as a “pot de creme” (if covered), custard cup, mustard pot or even an individual salt cellar (with or without a cover). Mankowitz (1972:63) notes that a ...
