Large Cardew
Designs Yellow Porcelain Leaning Clock ~ Made by Cardew Designs of
England, this whimsical porcelain clock measures approximately 12" tall.
The top comes off, so it could also be used as a cookie jar. The
piece is in perfect condition with no damage. The clock mechanism
runs by battery. You can hear it working, but the hands don't seem
to want to move. Someone who is handy could probably adjust it to
fix this. The clock movement could be easily and inexpensively
replaced. The retail issue price was $150, but we are
offering it for significantly less to compensate for the clock movement
sticking. An adorable decorative item! |

porcelain plate measuring about 10.5" in diameter, entirely hand painted.

blackberry fruit, and
greenery connecting them. The back is marked with a shield logo with
"Thomas" inside, and "Bavaria" below that in an aqua color under glaze.
SIGNED by the artist "H. Fowler" in brown next to one of the
berries on
the front. The nice gold rim is about 90% intact. No chips or

German Kaiser Porcelain
Nanking Bird & Flower 12.5" Charger Serving Plate ~ Gorgeous and very
large fine china charger made in Western Germany by Kaiser. It
measures about 12.5" across and the rim sits about 2" high from the table
top, so it is a nice deep serving plate (good for food with juice that
might run off a normal plate). The image is some sort of peacock
type bird with long colorful features, and a multitude of bright flowers
all over. In excellent condition with no damage. A couple tiny
knife scratches can be seen on the bottom of the plate, but only if you
look hard for them. Matches a very large tea kettle we also have for
sale in this pattern. See the teapot
section of our website to find it. |

2 Running Dogs Fine Porcelain Figurine
~ This quality figurine of two running dogs is marked, but I can't seem to
determine who the maker is, or when it might have been made. The
mark is an overglaze red bird (eagle or sparrow, perhaps) with it's wings
spread, much like the German, Austrian and Polish marks shown on Kovel's
Marks Dictionary page 23. there is also an impressed number
"7287". Possibly Erphilia of Germany, but I'm not sure. In any case,
it measures approximately
6.5" long, 4.5" high, 3" wide, and is in excellent
condition with no damage. The porcelain is nice quality and the piece is
weighty for it's size -- nearly a pound. There is some paint rubbed
off the large dog's tail (see photo) which is underglaze, and 3 short
firing splits on the bottom -- both are slight manufacturing
defects. I believe the large dog is a hound or hunting dog, while the
smaller one is a Spaniel of some sort. |

Antique French Limoges Game Bird Plate #10
~ Beautiful early 1900's handpainted Limoges game bird plate entirely hand painted and signed by one artist
(Muville), in exceptional condition with no chips, cracks, crazing, or evidence of repairs. Eleven matching plates are available.... buyers can choose any quantity. Our price is only $150 per plate, although the 1996 Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain (2nd Edition) lists an average book value of $250 to $400
EACH for similar game plates. Each plate features a different flying and/or standing bird scene -- they appear to be quail, ducks (mallards), pheasants, geese and/or sandpipers. Each plate measures 9.5" in diameter with a 7/8" ornate scalloped gold rim. All plates from this set are double marked with underglaze green Limoges France and star
(Kovels #153G) Latrille Freres Mark #1 (factory), and a red overglaze (decorator mark)
Lazeyras, Rosenfeld, and Lehman Mark #3 (Encyclopedia of Limoges by M. Gaston). They were fired between 1899 and 1913, and painted no later than 1922. Both companies were contemporary to Haviland from the Limoges region of France. All plates have a very minor degree of rubbing/swirls in the gold rim from handling and/or age.
No other apparent flaws. Shipping is $8 for the first plate, and $2 for each additional plate. If
a USA buyer purchases ALL 11 plates, we will offer FREE insured shipping in the continental USA. If you live outside the USA,
contact us for your discount. |
