I have two of these, priced individually. These are charming French majolica plates from Carole Stupell Ltd. in Manhattan, circa 1960-70. Excellent condition with only miniscule frits on edges, approximately 7" by 7.5".
These wonderful little French cachepots have among their many attributes the fabulous colors of yellow and puce. Each little pot has a different scene painted in this wonderful color on the front and the back, and each pot has slightly different scenes than the other. We have little fat cherubs on one side and a serene little landscape on the other. Under each painting is a swag of tiny unglazed white porcelain flowers and leaves, hand formed mind you, not molded, and they are kind of caught ...click for details
These wonderful plates are French majolica, made sometime between about 1900 and 1930. They are each in the form and color of a deep sea scallop shell. The deep coral color in the center of the plate fades to a lighter color towards the rim. Each plate is about 6" in diameter, each has a little crazing in the glaze (almost invisible), and each is in excellent condition with no cracks, chips or repairs. Priced individually. (Two left.)
Offered here are 6 hand painted, floral or botanical motif, French Old Paris plates that date to around 1900. They are absolutely lovely, and will make a wonderful grouping. Each plate has a different flower represented on the front. Each plate has the same green border and gilt enamel scalloping on the edge. There are some minimal spots of white showing through two or three of the plates, which only shows that the plates are early. I think you can tell these apart from highlighting. They ...click for details
Offered here is a vintage,,,I would say early 20th century, porcelain box with decorative brass trim and fittings. The porcelain is ivory in color with a grained pattern that simulates real ivory. The clasp is embossed in a rosette motif and the trim around the edges has the raised dots. The box is in excellent condition and the hinge and clasp works fine. The is oxidation on some of the brass which I elected not to remove (I think it's pretty), but could easily be removed with a little ...click for details
I could not resist these odd plates! Each plate is hand painted with a single insect of some kind in the center of the plate. There is a large beetle, a butterfly, a huge beetle with long antennae, and a small beetle with red dots on his wings. Each plate has a pale blue border with a gilt enamel edge. They measure about 7.25" in diameter. The gilding on the edge is worn some, and there is a tight hairline on the butterfly plate (barely visible). Not to worry...your guests won't w ...click for details
This is just a fabulous antique French porcelain toiletry box in a charming sea life motif. Made by Jules Lesme from Limoges, France, between 1853-1881. In 1853 he received a patent for the art of lead oxide enamelling on porcelain. He is the only known ceramist to have produced rustic porcelain ware. This box would have been for storage of a toothbrush or other type of toilet articles. It has a wonderful fish atop the box sitting amidst seaweed. The fish has the shape and features of a my ...click for details
This is a delightful little cream jug from Limoges, France, around 1852. In faux bois style, it appears to be little twigs tied together with vines. The handle is a work of art in itself, but the entire piece is a charming and early piece, hand made and hand painted. Perfect condition, it stands 5.5" to the top of the handle.
This set of faience plates bear the 1904-1922 mark. They are approximately 10" in diameter. They are of rustic design in iron red, with a simple border and a single flower in the center. All of the plates have slight roughness to the edge and one plate has a hairline that runs from the edge to the center of the plate (pictured). The price reflects the one damaged plate.
