I am thrilled to present to you this exquisite lap desk or writing slope. This piece is English in origin, and was manufactured in the mid to late 19th century. It is made of papier mache and has a glorious castle scene on top, all done in mother of pearl. The castle is surrounded by trees that have tiny pieces of mother of pearl, inlaid to look like leaves and/or flowers.

$150 USDFantastic Dog Smoking Pipe Tin Type in Leather Case
Collectibles:Photographic:Tin Types Early Photography Ferrotypes:Dog:Dog Smoking Pipe
This is the first time I have ever seen something like this, although I did see a gorilla smoking a cigar at the Central Park zoo many years ago. This adorable black and white dog is posed standing on his hind legs with a white pipe coming out of his mouth. How his owner got him to stand like this is beyond me, but I have never owned a dog, so who knows? The tin type is sixth plate size, measuring 2 3/4" by 3 1/4". It is housed in a black leather case with a nice floral embossed design on both ...

This is a wonderful ewer, made in Japan in the late 19th century. It is a form of Nippon known as moriage because of its raised slip-work designs. The ewer has a green background with gorgeous hand painted orchids done in shades of purple and yellow. On top of the porcelain is a raised moriage design of leaves, vines and flowers in a creamy white tone. The handle is decorated with the slip-work, as well as the top and bottom borders.

$150 USDSixth Plate Dog Tin Type in Leather Case
Collectibles:Photographic:Tin Types Early Photography Ferrotypes:Dog
I don't know the breed of this precious dog, but I'm sure you do. He is seen resting on a flowered coverlet and what I think is so endearing, the owner is resting his hand on the dogs back. As you may be aware, it was difficult to get one's pet to pose the required minute or so it took to shoot the tin type photo, so I guess this owner was encouraging him to be still. The tin type is housed in a brown leather case with matching geometric patterns on both halves and a single latch. It has an ...

Porcelain:Antique:Moriage Nippon:Biscuit/Cracker Jar

The top and bottom borders also have the raised slip-work. The cover has the slip-work around its border as well as on top of the knob like handle. The entire piece measures 7 1/2" in height including the cover. It has a 3 1 ...
$295 USDLalique France Vase Clear and Frosted Leaves and Grapes
Glass:By Maker:Lalique Vase
I am not familiar with this lovely pattern of Lalique, perhaps it is a discontinued style? If someone cares to inform me as t the pattern name, I'll be happy to add it to the listing. It stands 5 1/2" high and has a flared out shape. The diameter at the top is 5 1/8". It has large leaves and grape clusters done in frosted glass against the clear crystal. Quite stunning. The vase is in excellent condition and clearly marked Lalique France. Please Note: Advanced approval is required on any ...
$140 USDWonderful Sixth Plate Tin Type of Retriever in Leather Case
Collectibles:Photographic:Tin Types Early Photography Ferrotypes:Dog:Retriever
This is a tin type of a dog who I think is a retriever, my favorite kind. It dates to approximately 1880. The pooch is posed standing on his hind legs, which I imagine would be quite difficult considering the relatively long exposure time needed to take such tin types. Such an obedient pet. He is housed in a leather photo case with a pretty embossed design showing a floral bouquet. The tin type measures 3 1/4" by 2 3/4". It is in fair condition showing some emulsion loss on one side, which doesn ...
$85 USDElegant 10K YG Bar Pin In Original Box

The pin itself dates to the art deco era, 1920's and is made of 10 carat yellow gold which has a lovely filigree design. At its center is a small aquamarine round stone enclosed in a diamond shaped bezel. It closes with a safety catch. The pin is housed in an adorable brown leather box with a silk and velvet lining and a slit to accommodate the pin. The inside cover has the name of the shop in London where the pin ...| Items 1 - 10 of 10 | Page 1 of 1 |
