This rare art deco Rhead punch bowl measures about 11" in diameter and is about 5.25" tall, although in life it looks absolutely massive. Bound to be either a Frederick Alfred Rhead or Charlotte Rhead design. Fine example of British ceramics--and one of the most stunning European art pottery items I've had the honor to own. (Pattern is not mentioned in Bernard Bumpus's book COLLECTING RHEAD POTTERY.) ...click for details
This Muncie Indiana pottery bowl vase is a beautiful example, measuring 3.25" tall. Not marked but guaranteed vintage and authentic Muncie, with a beautiful deco or Eames era look, made in the 1920s or 1930s. The glaze is a grayish blue high gloss. No nicks, chips, hairlines, or repairs.

This impressive art deco 10.75" tall x 8.25" x 2.75" wall pocket was made in the late 1930s by General Ceramics (New York). The design features a dove of peace (think Noah's Ark), holding a laurel branch in his beak, in medium relief. Very pretty and useful conversation piece.
This approximately 9” d. Roseville Pottery plate is a prototype for one of the last 1954 designs to be developed before the factory suddenly closed (prior to other shapes being designed). Each Blackberry plate is unique, as you can tell by comparing the two examples I am offering for sale. (At one point, I was selling a group of 14 of these on consignment, and I purchased 3 of them myself at that time.) ...click for details
