$1575.00 

Although I can't find this pattern in any of the Gien resource books, it is strikingly and beautifully decorated. The Romanesque or Renaissiance Revival swirls are punctuated with the typical satyr heads on each side, and all perch on the matching underplate. The piece is in very fine condition, and both pieces are marked with a painted "Gien", and manufactured by that company in France. The cache pot measures 10" inside diameter, and 8 1/4" in height. The diameter of t ...click for details

Decorated in lovely Delft blues, this French faience toby measures 11" high, and 6" wide at the arms. The character carries a snuff box and is wearing a floral decorated waistcoat. There are no breaks, cracks or repairs. There are only some rubbing to the glaze on the high points - the hat edges, the elbows, etc. There is a mark which is indecipherable to me (see photo).

$325.00 

Festive and colorful, this fine example of French majolica - called barbotine by the French - is an asparagus serving dish. It measures 14"long by 8 1/2" wide by 3 1/4" high. Only one tiny rim nick keeps this piece from being as pristine as the day it was fired in the kiln. It is unmarked with the exception of an impressed P 6 on the underside.

I am proud to offer this handsome Samson factory chocolate pot. It is decorated in the traditional "samson flowers" decoration, and also has an exceptional Order of the Garter crest on one side. Samson is known for making credible copies of Chinese Export ware, but the Samson design is itself unique and easily identified. It is marked (see photo) and in very fine condition. There is one minor chip touched up on the rim. The chocolate pot measures 11 1/2" high and 8 1/2" spout ...click for details

Here is a marvelous example of aesthetic movement/orientalism design in the form of a highly-decorated French faience vase. The front depicts a French woman in Renaissance dress, while the reverse is a floral motif with a gold background. There is an all-over background design of Moorish arabesque decoration. The piece is incised "St Denis" on the bottom. It measures 10 7/8" high, and 6 3.4" wide approx. 28cm x 15cm. It is in excellent condition.

This reclining clown figural dish is so typical of the marvelous trifles manufactured by French and German porcelain makers right up until the First World War. This character, dressed in magenta and white, with gilt (slightly worn) shoes, measures 6 1/2" x 4 1/2". It is in superb condition with only a bit of ware to the gilt.

$895.00 

This piece of majolica, a rare example of majolica from Limoges (unmarked but we have had other pieces through the years with this distinctive base) is a match holder in the form of a woman astrologer or perhaps a witch. She has a serpent on the medallion which seems to fasten her cloak together. She holds a basket (for discarded matches?), and stands 9"-23cm high. She has a minuscule spot on the hat which seems to be the only bit of wear. Otherwise, perfect, we are proud to present this ra ...click for details

$425.00 

A charming French faience box in lovely pastel colors just perfect for your box collection. It measures 3 1/2" x 2 7/8" x 1 1/2" high. The signature on the bottom is an R with a dot above it, and I am guessing at the maker's name. The box is in excellent condition with only a little looseness in the hinge, where the securing pin has slipped. It is possible that the mark on the bottom is Strasbourg, but I am not certain.

This charming creature, measuring 8" high, and 6 1/2" wide at the base, has seductive glass eyes, and a beguiling face. It was manufactured in the years between the wars, as were dozens of other ducks, dogs, sheep and chickens, by the firm of J.Filmont, Caen, France. Often used outside in gardens and as decorative lawn ornaments, many suffered damage. A fine example like this, having only very minor glaze chips and rubbing, is quite rare. Included with this are a copy of the J. Filmont ...click for details
