$250 USDStunning Antique English Victorian Majolica Blended Glaze Ram’s Head Cache Pot
Pottery:Antique:Majolica:Britain
This is a gorgeous piece of antique English Victorian majolica in the mottled shades of green, honey, and brown which the English potters did so well. A deeply molded wave and bead pattern graces the body of the cache pot, while the neck is deep and features alternating grotesque-style ram’s heads alternating with lozenges joined by a stylized rope garland. It measures 5” in diameter and 4” tall. There is no mark on the base, not even so much as a number, but I have no doubt this is English, ...

$75 USDExquisite French Majolica Art Nouveau Tubelined Iris Vase

I am very pleased to offer this lovely French Art Nouveau vase. A gorgeous Iris in shades of pink, yellow and purple, with leaves in sky blue and fawn—all tube-lined—form the central motif. Figural iris leaves in the same colors scheme form handles on each side. This is one of a pair that is currently available. This piece dates to between 1890 and 1910, likely around 1900.

$325 USDExquisite Antique Austrian Majolica J. Dressler Egg Server Plate
Pottery:Antique:Majolica:Austrian
What a treat I have for you here! This is precisely the sort of thing for which Julius Dressler, is rightly famous—specialty food service pieces of majolica . His are, without a doubt the most fanciful and fun, and this one is no exception. In the form of a stylized leaf glazed in shades of green with a chocolate brown twig-form handle wrapped with ivy and cotton candy pink wells for the eggs and condiments—it’s a truly eye-catching piece.

$750 USDExquisite Large Antique French Majolica Teal & Pink Art Nouveau Petal Jardiniere
Pottery:Antique:Majolica:French
I am very proud to offer this exquisite piece of French art pottery. It likely was made in Vallauris in the south of France. At the turn of the century Vallauris was something of a Mecca for artists in general, and ceramicists in particular. This bears a great deal of resemblance to known pieces by Delphin Massier, but it is not marked nor could I find it in any Massier catalog I consulted, so I am hesitant to attribute it to him. But it is certainly safe to say it was likely inspired by the ...
$185 USDStunning Antique French Majolica Figural Fish Caviar Server
Pottery:Antique:Majolica:French
What a treat I have for you here! This was a very popular form of majolica caviar server in the late 1800’s in France. Fives-Lille made the definitive one, but there were tons of potteries that made their own version, even Massier! It dates to between 1870 and 1890. This particular example is not marked, but it most definitely drew on the Fives-Lille for inspiration—the glazing is nearly identical. I've seen these described as wall-pockets, but my reference books state they were intended for ...

Pottery:Antique:Majolica:Austrian
I am very pleased to offer this superb example of a Victorian figural majolica humidor—in the guise of a man in Tyrolean garb. Similar pieces, no doubt made by the same manufacturer as this one, can be seen on page 47 of Jeffrey B. Snyder’s Marvelous Majolica. He states that these pieces represented “local color” around town. This is one of several pieces acquired from the collection of a noted Chicago collector and antique dealer who began his collection in the 1930’s. He measures 5 ¼” tall and ...

$385 USDSuperb Antique Bohemia Austrian Majolica J. Moehling Figural Well Smokeset
Pottery:Antique:Majolica:Austrian
What a treat this one is!

It is glazed allover in a warm honey/caramel color and subtly accented with gilt.

It dates to between 1890 and 1914. This classically Art Nouveau pattern was very popular and I see pieces of it with some frequency, however it is rather rare to find it with the honey-colored background. The deep turquoise background is much more common. In addition, I see the full set very, very rarely. Usually I find single ...
$250 USDStunning Antique Villeroy & Boch German Majolica Art Nouveau Lily of the Valley Reticulated Platter
Pottery:Antique:Majolica:German
This is such a gorgeous piece—I hate to see it go! This was made by the famed German pottery Villeroy & Boch, of Schramberg, Germany. This is so quintessentially Art Nouveau in its colors, style, and details! The circular central panel is composed of Lily of the Valley leaves radiating outward and glazed in deep green with an aqua glazed flower center. The rest of the platter is composed of deep and crisply molded Lily of the Valley Flowers in an intertwined pattern and glazed in bright aqua. ...

$225 USDSuperb Antique French Majolica Scotsman Character Pitcher Jug
Pottery:Antique:Majolica:French
Here is your opportunity to own this fantastic character jug known by collectors as the Scotsman. I honestly don’t understand the name—he doesn’t look at all Scottish to me. These were popular during the late 19th to early 20th century. Though this particular jug is most often referred to as Sarreguemines, it is more accurate to refer to them as Sarreguemines-type. They were produced near Sarreguemines, France to compete with the products of the renowned faiencerie of the same name. The ...

The Sarreguemines character pitchers have mold numbers no higher than the 5000’s, while these particular pitchers carry the numbers in the 7890 series. This ...
$275 USDStunning Antique French Majolica Sarreguemines Puck Character Pitcher Jug

I am very pleased to offer this superb example of one of Sarreguemines oldest character pitchers, Puck, number 653. This was one of the factory’s staple pieces and was very long-lived. It was still being produced as late as 1925. The mark used identifies this pitcher as having been produced after the World Fair of 1889 but before 1922 (according to the book Sarreguemines: Les Marques de Fabrique by the Sarreguemines Museum). He stands 7” tall and approximately 5 ½” in diameter. He is clearly ...
$325 USDGorgeous Antique French Majolica Frie Onnaing Art Nouveau Cyclamen Planter
Pottery:Antique:Majolica:French
This is one of the most lovely pieces Frie-Onnaing ever made (in my opinion!). Glazed in rich carmine, olive, aqua, and chocolate; leaves twine gracefully up the sides in classic Art Nouveau style. The interior is lined in deep carmine. This was made sometime between 1890 and 1910 by one of the most renowned French faienceries, Frie-Onnaing, in the north of France near the Belgian border.

$225 USDFine Antique French Majolica Creil Roly Poly Monk Figural Pitcher Jug
Pottery:Antique:Majolica:French
What a treasure I have for you here in this unmarked chubby monk character pitcher. The very well-fed monk pitcher was a favorite of French manufacturers. I know for certain that Frie-Onnaing, Nimy-le-Mons, and Creil & Montereau all made them with only minute differences between them. I nearly wore my eyes out poring over each manufacturer’s versions with a jeweler’s loop to figure out which one this might be. It took some doing, but I was finally able to find it in Maryse Bottero’s book Pichets ...
