We offer this scarce and wonderfully decorative Silver Luster Character "Toby" Jug created by the firm of Arthur Bowker. This item is marked on its base "Arthur Bowker Fine Bone China, Made in England. The Toby stands 6 1/4" tall and measures 5" across at its widest point. Here is some additional bio on Arthur Bowker England; Arthur Bowker was the son of a miner, born in 1909. He gained a scholarship for the local grammar school but left at 14years old, to contribute to the family purse. He resisted mining as a career and followed his dream of producing something beautiful amidst his depressing background. He was apprenticed to E. W. Brain & Co (Foley China) and developed his talents as an artist. This was followed by time spent at Salisbury Crown China. In 1948, he took the gamble of going alone and began Arthur Bowker, Staffordshire Fine Bone China. In a single room in Longton, he began producing miniature items, jugs, kettles, simple brooches and then Figurines. One of the earliest, a small crinoline lady, was named Christine, after his only daughter. He gradually expanded and moved to King Street, Fenton. A wide range of decorative china was begun. This included figurines of ladies; memorabilia (especially for the Coronation of Elizabeth 2nd); china flower posies; character figures; various animals; dogs; birds and many other designs. Most items bore his self-explanatory mark. Figurines were signed with their identification name, usually by the painter. Very many items were exported around the world, including U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and others. In 1958, the business failed, largely due to changes in purchase tax and other export regulations. He died in 1962. No chips, cracks or repairs.

We very proudly offer a Stunning Vintage German/Continental Porcelain Grouping. This item measures 10" tall and 9" wide. The detail and the quality of this Porcelain Grouping is right up there with the best of known firms. As with many of these early and very intricately created groupings there are some very minor damages. The most offensive is one of the ears on one sheep is partially missing and there is a base chip on the edge below the Mans hat. There are some minor rough flakes to the edge but all to be expected again for an item of this age and quality. One sheep has a rub on the top of his snout but it blends in with the white ground of the porcelain. The detailed painting on this item and model workmanship clearly shows this to be a magnificent addition to any fine arts or porcelain collection. The base has what appears to be a Company Mark that I have been unable to locate to date. It is under the glaze and appears to be a modified capital "A" and another mark just below it. This item has no cracks or repairs. Shipping in the Continental U.S. is $16.00 plus Mandatory Shipping Insurance. The Insurance fee will be determined at the time of purchase.
