An exceptionally pretty hand painted porcelain watering can that was possibly made for a child. There are different scenes on each side. One depicts a young girl playing with a dog in a meadow, and the other, a muted forest scene of a tree and grasses. Colors of the can are a delicate pink and white with puce highlighting and bands of gold trim on the handle. An exceptionally beautiful and well designed piece.
Condition: Very good.
Size: Height- 6 inches to top of the handle. Width- 8.5 inches from tip of spout to handle.

This is a lovely Royal Staffordshire saluting Kewpie doll with the Vancouver coat of arms on his chest, and the legend, “ One of the Bhoys”, on the base. This particular coat of arms came into being in 1909,
and given the salute, the piece was quite likely a wartime souvenir. The doll is white china with painted googly eyes, a pointed top knot, and the unusual saluting arm. The coat of arms crest is handpainted in various colors, and the registration mark on the base dates the piece to 1918.
Condition: Fine. No cracks or chips.
Size: Height- 6 3/8 inches.

This lovely antique porcelain ink well is designed to resemble ivory, and is completely covered with Japanese figures and scenes. Each side is in relief with a different scene of samurai, as well as a crane in flight. The scenes are very elaborate, and different from each other, with each fitting beautifully into each panel. The same applies to the top, where the design works in the round. The overall shape is square with tapered corners, and the piece has a metal collar and hinge. Bottom has a hole, but the inkwell insert is missing. Color of the porcelain has made to resemble that of ancient ivory. No markings, and I am not aware of the maker, but I do know that this is a magnificent porcelain item.
Condition: Fine. No cracks or chips. Hinge works perfectly. Insert missing as previously noted.
Size: Height- 4 ½ inches. Each side 2 ½ inches.

This is a late eighteenth century or early nineteenth century piece, very likely by Josiah Wedgwood , an anti slavery campaigner who began to reproduce the figure of an African slave in chains on fashionable jasperware medallions and seals. Was originally adopted as the seal of the Society for the Abolition of Slavery in England in the 1780s
The piece is unmarked, and is made of black basalt with a very detailed intaglio of the African slave in chains with the inscription AM I NOT A MAN and A BROTHER, which is the anti slavery motto.
The piece has exceptional detail for a fairly small item and it is a very unusual piece.
Condition: Fine
Size: Length- 1 inch. Oval face- 7/8 X 5/8 inch.
