$77 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Sly Fox Decanter/Figural Bottle with 2 Cups - Germany
Collectibles:Bottles:Figural German Majolica Decanter & Matching Cups
Pink and purple and high gloss glaze make this debonair fox in a dressing gown an eye-catching and amusing example of German Earthenware manufactured in one of the many pottery factories operating in Germany in the late 19th century through the mid 20th century. These factories were known for their figural pieces. Many, like this one, are on the whimsical side. I believe this bottle is most likely from the early 20th century. It is stamped "Germany" in black on the base where you will also find ...
$53 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Schafer & Vater - Begging Bulldog with a Derby - Bottle/Nip
Collectibles:Bottles:Schafer & Vater Figural Bulldog Nip
The expression on this bulldog's face is priceless. He may be in "begging" position, but he doesn't look happy about it. This little fellow was made in Germany, sometime around 1900-1920.Quite a few pottery factories were located in the same area of Germany during this pre-WWI time period and they made many items that were exported empty...to be filled upon arrival in the US and elsewhere. These bottles, often called "whimsies" or "giveaways" came in a myriad of forms and sizes and also can be ...
$152 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Schafer & Vater Bottle with Humorous Saying - Great Baby Gift!
Collectibles:Schafer & Vater German Figural Bottle, C. 1920
Schafer & Vater made this unusual bottle meant to hold liquor or some form of alcoholic spirits. It is in the shape of an old fashioned baby's nursing bottle, complete with removable nipple (the bottle's stopper), a pacifier on a long baby blue ribbon, a long handled gold rattle and numbered lines on the side of the bottle, presumably to measure how much formula the baby takes. This bottle is an example of German "Giveaways" or "Whimsies" manufactured in Germany during the early part of the 20th ...
$21 USD SaleSALE Spotted Porcelain Egg Candy or Trinket Covered Dish
Porcelain:Decorative & Figurines:Egg Shaped Whimsical Covered Dish
I collected porcelain eggs for a while and I still can't resist them when I come across an especially nice one. Measuring approx. 4 1/2" long, about 2 1/2" wide and 2 1/4" tall, this one has a lovely pure white background and is decorated in a sort of denim blue with just some touches of a light yellow. As you can see by the pictures, the egg, top and bottom, is decorated with irregular splotches of color. I think that's what appealed to me...the fact that there is no particular pattern. ...
$55 USD SaleSALE Dog in a Basket Porcelain Scent/Perfume Bottle
Collectibles:Bottles:Perfume Dog Stopper
This is an unusual and amusing bottle You could practically make up a story to explain the composition of this little piece. Starting at the bottom, there is a round wicker-looking basket with 2 handles. The basket is a rich dark brown. The color settled into the crevices allowing the higher portions of the basket to remain lighter or white. A very realistic looking basket results. Coming out of the basket is what looks like the top of a round bottle in a deep forest green. And emerging from the ...
$15 USD SaleSALE Vintage Terrier Dog Figurine Holding Red Hat in Mouth
Collectibles:Decorative:Seated Dog With Large Red Hat
This is a beautifully modeled dog sitting politely holding a large brimmed red hat in his mouth. He is mostly white with beautiful brown and black markings. He has a lovely long tail curled around his back side, black folded ears and black paws. His musculature is well shown. I do not know the country of origin, but I am fairly certain he was manufactured in the 1960's. I am very partial to this dog because he reminds me quite a bit of my current dog who, in all honesty, runs my life. This dog ...
$34 USD SaleSALE Black Old Fashioned Telephone Bottle
Collectibles:Bottles
Am I the only one who remembers telephones with dials? Here is a shiny black bottle to commemorate the days before cell phones and touch tone. The telephone stands 12 3/4" high and about 5" across at its widest. It is highly glazed black pottery. There are no marks indicating the country of origin. I estimate it to be at least 40 years old. The part you listen to is permanently attached to the main shaft of the bottle. A rubber/plastic tube comes out of the end of the hearing device and attaches ...
$42 USD SaleSALE Colorful Butterfly Figure Bottle
Collectibles:Bottles
A lot of hand-painting went into making this charming little butterfly bottle. Perhaps it was designed to be a perfume bottle or maybe even a "little nip" for someone. The bottle is about 3 3/4" at its widest, from wing tip to wing tip; almost 2" from the top the of the head to the bottom of the body and it is about 1/2" deep. Both sides are hand decorated under a glossy glaze. Both sides are similar but not identical. The 1/2" outside edge of the bottle is painted a bright blue all the way ...
$67 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Exotic Woman's Head Porcelain Figural Bottle
Collectibles:Bottles
This lovely lady is a true mystery woman. The bottle is off-white or ivory with a shiny high glazed finish. The base on which the head stands is concave and has no marks or country of origin. A gold band about 1/2" thick circles the base at the bottom. Thin gold bands about 1/2" apart circle the neck in rings of smaller and smaller diameters, ending below the head. Her face is serene and truly beautiful with high cheekbones, full lips and a small nose. Her eyes are closed, but are delineated by ...
$55 USD SaleSALE Miniature Souvenir Opera Glasses - Old Orchard, Maine
Collectibles:Bottles:Miniatures:Pottery
Here's a little bottle which looks like a miniature pair of opera glasses. It is only 2" high and about 2 1/2" across. The opera glasses are shiny, white, luminescent - like mother-of-pearl, trimmed in gold at the top and bottom, gold on the vertical rod and 3 horizontal pieces in between the eye pieces, the widest being part of the bottle's base. "Souvenir of Old Orchard Me." is written in gold cursive writing on the mother of pearl on one side only. The bottom is white bisque. It is marked by ...
$55 USD SaleSALE Vintage Pig's Head Bottle
Collectibles:Bottles:Smiling Pig's Head:Figural Bottle
I don't know how to explain this bottle....Why would someone make a bottle in the shape of a pig's head? I don't know the answer, but I know this bottle really has a beauty all its own. Made sometime in the early part of the 1900's, most likely in Germany, this bottle has no clear marks of origin. It is a lovely shade of of light blue and is beautifully fashioned. This little piggy has a smiling mouth, lips partially open in the very front. His snout is accurately made and has wrinkles near the ...
$38 USD SaleSALE Miniature Monk Bottle - Lejay Lagoutte Freres Cassis Decanter/Nip
Collectibles:Bottles:Miniatures:Pottery
This little bottle standing only 4 1/2" high is a product of the Lejay Lagoute, Freres Company, located in the Burgundy Region of France. It originally contained "creme de cassis" which translates into Black Current Liqueur. The bottle is mostly one shade of brown with a parch of lighter brown or tan mostly on the front of the monk's habit. It appears as if the brown glaze was "poured on" because the lighter areas are in the form of "drips." There are tiny black speckles in all the dark brown ...
$30 USD ReducedREDUCED Reserve D'Elite Champagne Flask Decanter
Collectibles:Bottles
An unusual pale blue decanter designed to look like an old, side stitched flask or water bottle meant to be worn over the shoulder with a strap attached to the 2 metal rectangular pieces that are threaded into holes created in the pottery on each side of the flask.Perhaps a strap was part of the bottle when it was new? The bottle is mainly a luscious light blue covered by a thick glaze. It's at least 40+ years old. The bottom is marked, "Sarreguemines" and "France" in raised letters that were ...
$19 USD SaleSALE Miniature Money Bag Bisque Perfume/Scent Bottle
Collectibles:Bottles:Hand Painted Bisque Perfume Bottles
Here's an old and unusual figural bottle. Because of its size, 2 1/2" tall by 1 1/2" across, I'm assuming it was designed as a perfume or scent bottle. I don't think it would hold enough "spirits" to qualify as a "nip." I describe its shape as a money bag because I have 2 much larger bottles in the same shape that are labeled as "money bags" and are liquor bottles. This little bottle looks like a "full" bag that has been gathered closed by a ribbon or twine. A tiny red bow hangs from the opening ...
$43 USD SaleSALE Lovely & Delicate Orange and Yellow Fish Bottle
Collectibles:Bottles:Fish
Normally I don't find fish beautiful, but this delicate bottle with its intricate details just appeals to me. 7" from the opening in its mouth to to tip if its tail fin, this little fish could be a carp or goldfish like the one's people keep in garden pools. This bottle does not appear to be glazed or is very lightly glazed since it has a matte finish. With his mouth wide open, it almost looks as if he tried to swallow a flower pot! The opening is round and 3/4" in diameter. The fish is ...
$67 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Penguin Decanter & Matching Cups Pottery Figure Bottle
Collectibles:Bottles:Vintage Figural Pottery Bottle/Decanter And Matching Cups
Penquins have always been a favorite of many, but never so much so since the abundance of "penguin movies" released in the past couple of years. This is a very handsome and proud Penguin, standing 10" tall, seeming to look over his realm. He is a dark chocolate brown with a golden orange chest. His wings are held close to his body and each foot has 3 toes. And what a remarkable beak - about 2" long! The entire figure and matching cups are finished in a high gloss glaze. The penguin's head is the ...
$50 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Perfume/Scent Bottle -Little Pink Basket of Roses - German
Collectibles:Perfume/Scent Figural Bottle, German
This is an adorable little porcelain bottle that is made with so many lovely details. The basket and handle are made with a number of different patterns in the weave. A little dove has found a spot to sit near the base of the basket. A number of large flowers, most likely roses, and their leaves fill the basket almost to overflowing. One side of the basket has flowers and leaves. The front side has the spout of the bottle rising from amidst the flowers. There is a bow tied on top of the handle. ...
$100 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Seated Regal Dog -Figural Bottle/Decanter
Collectibles:Bottles
I love all kinds of dogs, but I am partial to short haired varieties like this one. Perhaps he is a Weimaraner? His coat is tan marked with darker tan patches and areas of black. The bottle has a lovely high gloss glaze. He holds his head proudly, brown eyes looking forward, long hanging ears flat against his regal head. As he sits, his strong musculature is obvious. He has a short cropped tail. The colors flow naturally into each other. His front legs are implied, but not shown in detail. Since ...| Items 1 - 18 of 18 | Page 1 of 1 |
