$1,875 USD Offers ConsideredHuge Antique Royal Worcester Melon Shaped Potpourri Jar w/ Both Original Lids - 1889
Porcelain:Antique (More Than 100 Years Old)
Royal Worcester pieces in this monumental size are uncommon indeed. This stunner stands 13" tall, and nearly 30" in circumference around it's melon shaped, bulbous belly. Quite dramatic with Moorish, spire shaped finial and lovely blush ivory surface, it is accented with openwork on the outer lid that is both decorative and functional, allowing the jar to serve it's intended purpose as a potpourri container by letting the fragrance of it's contents perfume the room when the inner lid is removed. ...
$225 USD Offers ConsideredLimoges Vase w/ Hand Painted Roses - Signed - T & V - Tressemann & Vogt - Limoge
Porcelain:Possibly Antique (Marks Not Definitive)
Not only is this lovely vase hand painted with full blown summer roses, but it's squat shape and small mouth are perfect for displaying a few of your own beautiful short stemmed garden blooms. Condition is very nice with some wear to the gold around the lip. There is one flake on the bottom that has been touched up some time in the past. It cannot be seen unless you pick the vase up and turn it over, and although it is shown in the pictures, I'll bet you didn't notice it as it's not very ...
$165 USD Offers ConsideredJapanese Biscuit Jar w/ Lobed Melon Shape
Porcelain:Possibly Antique (Marks Not Definitive)
A very nice Japanese biscuit jar with traditional decoration. The highly stylized chrysanthemums and a highly stylized double Phoenix (also called a Howo or Bird of Paradise) are disposed around the surface of the jar and lid in an asymmetric arrangement with one medallion continuing from the lid onto the body of the jar. Lovely, and typical of Japanese sensibilities. The piece is signed only in Japanese which suggests an early date (before 1891), but I feel it was more likely made during the ...
$295 USD Offers ConsideredHand Painted Porcelain - Signed Footed Nut Bowl w/ Chestnuts - Bavaria - Paul Muller - C B Meredith
Porcelain:Possibly Antique (Marks Not Definitive)
Chestnuts... what could be more perfect for the season of crackling fires and festive gatherings? Not your usual floral, this fabulous hand painted bowl displays these wonderful treats as they grow, a sight not many of us are familiar with anymore. An unexpected subject. Just beautiful. China painting was a popular hobby from the late 19th thru the early 20th centuries in the US. And I've seen many painted pieces that look to have been done by amateurs, but C. B. Meredith was a pro. The ...
$85 USD Offers ConsideredPair of Porcelain "Baby" Cups - Perfect Gift for Twins!
Porcelain:Possibly Antique (Marks Not Definitive)
These lovely antique porcelain baby cups display a delicate molded detail just under the rim, which is ringed in gold. There is a bold, gold Gothic "Baby" lettered on the front of each cup, and the applied handles are quite dainty. The marks are the same, but different. Both are marked "Germany", and have "OC" in a circle in red... but I do not recognize the mark, and have been unable to find it. If you recognize it, please drop me a line. Each cup is marked with a different number... not sure ...
$275 USD Offers ConsideredPretty in Pink - Set of Six Royal Worcester Porcelain Plates
Porcelain:Vintage (Less Than 100 Years Old)
This lovely set of six, nearly antique Royal Worcester porcelain plates is elegant enough to serve even the most delicious confections. The mottled pink color, encircled with a single, simple band of gold will mix with many styles and complement almost any color. Originally sold at S. & G. Gump Co., one of the oldest, finest, and most respected retailers in San Francisco, really the whole Bay Area. Condition is very nice. There is only the most minimal expected wear to the gold rims, and one ...
$895 USD Offers ConsideredPair of Signed Rosenthal Lamps - Hand Painted Porcelain - Lighting
Porcelain:Vintage (Less Than 100 Years Old)
A wonderful pair of Rosenthal lamps. The creamy white porcelain globes are supported by little feet that have a bit of visual 'spring' to them...just perfect, don't you think? They're covered with lovely hand painted meandering cobalt blue vines with flowers, gold accents, and little red berries. This Rosenthal mark dates from 1936-1954, and appears on both lamps. Rosenthal pieces from these years are rare. The pair is a wonderful expression of this transitional time, their shape being 'moderne' ...
$165 USD Offers ConsideredPair of Framed Swiss Langenthal Plates w/ Scenes After Bartolome Murillo
Porcelain:Vintage (Less Than 100 Years Old)
An elegant pair of porcelain plates with a real antique vibe. This lovely pair displays images from the wonderful 17th C paintings of Bartolome Esteban Perez Murillo, perhaps the first Spanish artist to achieve renown throughout Europe. These two scenes are well known from his early works; affectionate studies of beggars and children, conceived before he began to paint religious scenes almost exclusively. Condition is grand, with no problems to report. Both plates are framed in classic, matching ...
$225 USD Offers ConsideredPair of 19th Century Cold Painted Bisque Figurines - Girl & Boy with Dogs
Porcelain:Antique (More Than 100 Years Old)
This charming pair of cold painted bisque figurines will steal your heart. A boy and a girl each cuddle a puppy while the mother dogs watch protectively. They are wearing what look like loose nightshirts with bare feet. The pieces are unmarked except for the impressed number "414", although looking closely at the bottoms it seems as if there might be the remnants of a black ink or paint mark in the lowest left corner of the picture. The base looks very much like a Heubach base, and the figures ...
$350 USD Offers ConsideredPair of Royal Worcester Mer-Baby Compotes or Salts - Bone China - Mermaid - Shell - Oyster
Porcelain:Vintage (Less Than 100 Years Old)
How beautiful! Pure white sea sprites, little mermaids or mermen, tails and all... each riding the waves, head thrown back in exhilaration, proffering an oyster shell. A perfect complement to a collection of fine antiques. A true pair, facing in opposite directions with slightly different poses. The details are exacting, their wave-swept hair, tiny fingers and scales, the dancing waves... all are simply perfect. Condition is great with no after market problems to report. There is something I can ...
$225 USD Offers ConsideredRoyal Copenhagen Crackle Glaze Porcelain Vase - 1938 - Krakelee
Porcelain:Vintage (Less Than 100 Years Old)
A smart little vase with a classical shape and a brightly colored belly; a melding of old and new that will mix beautifully with your antiques or almost-antiques. That bright shot of orange will complement everything from Traditional to Mid Century Modern. The surface displays an overall crackle, with simple rings of gold accenting the foot and neck. I have seen these crackle glazed pieces of Royal Copenhagen referred to as 'Krakelee', although I'm not sure where that term originated. Condition ...
$225 USD Offers ConsideredRoyal Doulton Figurine of Omar Khayyam - Designed by M. Nicoll - HN 2247
Porcelain:Vintage (Less Than 100 Years Old)
Omar Khayyam was a renowned scholar in Medieval Persia. He made substantial contributions to many scientific disciplines, mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, but is perhaps best known in the West as a poet. His verses were popularized in English by the translations of Edward FitzGerald in the 19th C, and there are few of us who are not familiar with them even today; I still have my Grandmother's copy of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on; nor all ...
$495 USD Offers ConsideredRoyal Doulton 'Coaching Days' Pitcher or Jug & Tumblers - Seriesware - Bone China
Porcelain:Possibly Antique (Marks Not Definitive)
A lovely set in Royal Doulton's wonderful Coaching Days Seriesware pattern, a favorite of many antique collectors. Seriesware was invented by Charles Noke in the late 19th C, and conceived to be decorative as well as functional, the items included everything from tableware to lamps, and displayed many designs grouped around a theme. Coaching Days is one of Royal Doulton's best loved and most desirable Seriesware patterns. Condition is very nice. There is some expected overall crazing and minor ...
$895 USD Offers ConsideredAntique 19th C Derby Crown Porcelain Dessert or Luncheon Set w/ 6 Plates & Compote / Comport / Tazza
Porcelain:Antique (More Than 100 Years Old)
Beautiful antiques for your table, this lovely Derby Crown Porcelain set is pretty in pink and ready for tea. Can't you just imagine the low footed serving dish heaped with a pyramid of thinly sliced and sweetly buttered watercress sandwiches? Mmm... The pink color is positively delicious. The combination of pink and yellow always looks very Chinese to me, but the designs on these plates seem to reflect many eastern influences, from far to near. From the stylized lotus blossoms to the mandala ...
$375 USD Offers ConsideredCeramic Brides Basket w/ Roses & Repousse Brass Mounts - Max Roseler, Rodach
Porcelain:Antique (More Than 100 Years Old)
A fabulous reticulated, footed brides basket, decorated inside with lovely pink roses, and bound by delicate, elaborate repousse brass fittings with a 'rose' motif. A beautiful addition to a collection of fine antique porcelain. This ornate piece was produced by Max Roesler, Rodach, in Bavaria near the Thuringian Forest, better known today as Bad Rodach. The company Max Roesler, Rodach was officially registered on July 24, 1894, as producers and decorators of porcelain, stoneware, and other fine ...
$225 USD Offers ConsideredEight Crown Staffordshire Demitasse Cups & Saucers
Porcelain:Possibly Antique (Marks Not Definitive)
Who can resist a freshly pulled cup of espresso with it's rich crema... perfect in the morning, and just what you need in the afternoon, I can smell the rich aroma now. And wouldn't it be even more perfect served in fine porcelain cups like these? This lovely set features wide green borders edged in black and complemented by an ample amount of applied gold. The design is simple and classic... very elegant and able to mix with many patterns. Condition is great. No chips cracks or repairs to ...
$75 USD Offers ConsideredDouble Crown Mark Goebel Figural Pitcher or Creamer - Dutch Boy with Pipe - Toby - Jug - Tankard
Porcelain:Vintage (Less Than 100 Years Old)
An adorable and very early Goebel Dutch boy figural pitcher that bears the Goebel 'Double Crown Mark'. I have also seen this form called a Toby Jug, a favorite of many antique collectors. Some sites say his mark is W. Goebel, Rodental, Bavaria, Germany, used from 1935-1937. But a Goebel expert I contacted says this mark was used from 1923-1939, a span that predates the introduction of the Hummel figures in any case. There seems to be agreement that this piece is from no later than the mid 1930's ...
$550 USD Offers ConsideredEight 19th C Berlin Factory KPM Porcelain Pots de Creme
Porcelain:Antique (More Than 100 Years Old)
A fantastic set of eight antique KPM Pots de Creme that bear the blue scepter mark for 1870 - 1945, produced toward the beginning of that span. The influence of the Art Nouveau spirit was felt by the 1890's - 1900, and these little cups have a much earlier feel stylistically. The set has intricate and delicate hand modeled decoration typical of earlier pieces, but the unadorned monochromatic white makes it unusually compatible with a modern sensibility. Porcelain ribbons loop and flow out and ...
$595 USD Offers ConsideredRoyal Worcester Art Deco Boxed Porcelain Demitasse Set - 1926
Porcelain:Vintage (Less Than 100 Years Old)
This stunning Royal Worcester porcelain demitasse set comes to us from 'down under', where it was originally sold in the 1920's. A perfect addition to an antique table, the design is a remarkably swank expression of Art Deco styling that still looks trendy today. The stripes and checks are vertical on the straight-sided cups, and radiate outward on the round saucers. Condition is excellent, with no chips, cracks, or repairs. There is a bit of age related crazing on some pieces, as expected. ...
$165 USD Offers ConsideredGlazed Skull Cup w/ Gilded Bone Handle
Porcelain:Possibly Antique (Marks Not Definitive)
A wonderful antique cup, representing a skull, open at the top, with a bone laid across it's opening. This fine piece of 'memento mori' is the perfect size for pencils, cosmetic or otherwise, and could be happily pressed into service to offer Tootsie Pops, or other treats on Halloween. It would also look great as a container for a bit of bittersweet. Condition is great, no problems to report, just some wear to the gilding on the bone. This piece has only a number mark on the bottom, but it is ...
$595 USD Offers ConsideredFour Antique Limoges Fish Plates w/ Hand Painted Seashells - Artist Signed "Holcombe" - Tressemann & Vogt - T&V - T & V - French
Porcelain:Antique (More Than 100 Years Old)
Oysters and scallops and conchs, oh my... this delightful set of plates is adorned with exceedingly delicate and exactingly detailed hand painted underwater scenes. Quite lovely. Each of these little masterpieces displays a different grouping of sea shells surrounded by seaweed, with a wispy, watery blue intermingling throughout. Artist signed "Holcombe" on the back in gold. Condition is fine, with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The fancy molded borders are painted green and accented with gold, ...
$50 USD Offers ConsideredHand Painted Blue & White Porcelain Jug or Pitcher with Gilded Fruits in Relief - Creamer
Porcelain:Possibly Antique (Marks Not Definitive)
This little pitcher is the perfect size for serving cream, and the perfect complement to an antique table. It has a lovely scalloped shape, an applied handle. a band of hand painted blue underglaze, and gold details with some kind of raised fruits or berries accented in gold... very unusual. The painting is energetic and sketchy, done with a sure hand... and those little gold fruits are great with their sand-papery texture. There are no marks on this piece, so it's origins are a mystery. ...
SOLDSOLD 19th Century Royal Worcester Porcelain Pitcher - 1891
Porcelain:Antique (More Than 100 Years Old)
This beautiful Royal Worcester porcelain pitcher is hand painted with many different flowers that are united by the lovely pale blue used throughout for the foliage. The delicate creamy matte finish is further decorated with generously hand applied gold. Condition is grand, with no chips, cracks, or repairs to report, and virtually no wear to the gold. In addition to the makers and date marks, there is a style number and makers initials, and some other hand applied marks that I am unfamiliar ...
SOLDSOLD Nymolle Ceramic Trinket Box or Powder Jar by Jacob Bang - Denmark

Porcelain:Possibly Antique (Marks Not Definitive)
A fine old compote, most likely antique, with a beautiful pure shape, and the delicacy and translucence we have come to associate with the finest European porcelain. Pirkenhammer has been producing fine porcelain in what is now the Czech Republic since 1802. This particular piece bears their underglaze mark used during the late 19th and early 20th C, it is marked "Austria", and is also marked with the word "Titanic." As a note of historical interest, Pirkenhammer has been associated with the ...
SOLDSOLD Antique Royal Worcester Dragon Handled Porcelain Ewer or Pitcher - 1901
Porcelain:Antique (More Than 100 Years Old)
This stunning piece of Royal Worcester porcelain has a fantastical dragon handle that rivals any modern day fantasy creation. Its creamy matte surface is further decorated with hand painted floral designs, including single old-fashioned roses and forget-me-nots, and then embellished with glowing gold. A truly exquisite piece. Condition is grand, with only the most minor wear to the high points of the gold. No chips, cracks, hairlines, or repairs to report. This little masterpiece can be dated by ...
SOLDSOLD Antique Parian Pitcher - English Victorian - Bisque - 19th C - British - 1857
Porcelain:Antique (More Than 100 Years Old)
This stunning Parian Pitcher was created during the early to mid Victorian era in England. Parian, or unglazed biscuit, was developed in England in the 1840's. Similar to Sevres porcelain biscuit, it enjoyed a wide popularity in Victorian England, and was most often employed to create figures that resembled marble because of the fine detail work that can be achieved. The design of this lovely pitcher is most certainly a harbinger of the Art Nouveau aesthetic, with its sinuous curves. The pitcher ...
SOLDSOLD Bisque Pug Dog Toothpick or Match Holder / Strike
Porcelain:Possibly Antique (Marks Not Definitive)
This little bisque pug dog sits by a blue glazed basket... "good boy." A perfect piece for the lover of dog themed antiques, he's awfully cute with his pensive expression. His basket and collar are glazed and fired, while his face, tail, and other body details are cold painted. I believe this is a match holder with the rough surface of the basket fashioned as the 'strike', but it could be used for many things... to corral some cotton swabs, or those cosmetic pencils that just seem to multiply on ...| Items 1 - 28 of 28 | Page 1 of 1 |
