These lovely, hand-painted bowls feature a st...

Offered is a superbly painted pair of 18th Century Japanese porcelain cups, made by one of the Arita kilns circa 1730-80.
These cups measure about 8.3 cm wide and about 5.0 cm high; they are a bit larger than teabowls of the period on average, and may have been intended for wine or saké, or for general use. I don't think they ever had saucers. They feature gobenka decorations in the center ...

This piece also has underglaze blue designs to the reverse, probably stylized bird forms, and a mark observed on pieces from the 1750-80 period within the Shibata Collection at the Kyushu Ceramic Museum (see, e.g., Shiba...

Offered is a lovely early 19th Century Japanese blue and white porcelain long dish, known as a nagazara and meant for serving fish. This dish was probably made for domestic use and features a central motif of the "three friends of winter" (bamboo, pine and prunus (plum)), surrounded by a decorative border and then by scrabbled decoration. The reverse features karakusa scrolls and a set of marks that...

Offered is a scarce and desirable early 18th Century French brass candlestick, circa 1720 - three centuries old now, and still lovely. This piece has good size at about 9 1/2 inches (24 cm) tall. A very similar example is on page 187 of "The Brass Book" by the Schiffers, who note that "this high-domed, faceted, octagonal base is typically French."
The plinth of this candlestick is cast in tw...

Offered is an excellent and early true Victorian Scottish agate pebble brooch or specimen brooch, most likely circa 1850-80, or perhaps a bit earlier, judging by the long pin and the simple brass casing and the overall design. This piece features a good range of colors that really show up in natural sunlight, and the central stone has an interesting inclusion of crystals that is like a miniature geod...

Offered is an excellent teacup or teabowl and saucer in a Chinoiserie-type pattern featuring a figure holding a parasol and another figure holding a flower in one hand and either a toy or another flower in the other. This cup and saucer is very similar in style to New Hall's pattern no. 20 and similar to a Liverpool pattern as well, but is most likely an early Keeling rendition of this pattern, given...

Offered is a lovely and scarce matched pair of quite early Old English Feather Edge pattern platter spoons or stuffing spoons, each fully hallmarked for London, 1774 and each bearing the maker's mark of noted London silversmith Thomas Chawner. Each server is engraved with an armorial of a dog, perhaps a spaniel of some kind.
This is the earliest matched pair of stuffing spoons that I have com...

Offered is a lovely 18th Century Worcester Flight period teacup and saucer with swirl fluting and cobalt and gilt decoration, with a thistle motif. The decoration appears to be entirely hand painted. The small crescent mark in underglaze blue inside the foot of the cup dates that piece to about 1783-92 (the Flight period), and the incised “B” on the saucer would put that piece between 1792 and 1...

Offered is a lovely 18th Century (circa 1770-1800) Japanese blue and white Arita porcelain nagazara (which translates roughly as "long dish") of squeezed rectangular form, painted entirely by hand with a marine view. This is entirely appropriate, as the purpose of such nagazara was to serve fish.
The reverse is decorated to the sides with small vignettes or glimpses of some of the same scener...

To the reverse are cloud decorations and a mark in the form of a running fuku. This piece 22.1 cm at its widest, and weighs about 468 grams. The porcelain has a slightly celadon cast, but is more white than the photos might suggest, despite the na...

Offered is a lovely and extremely rare example of the Old English pattern in the first few years of its development. The first moves away from the Hanoverian pattern were with the larger serving pieces, such as this soup ladle, and with some forks. The primary reason for this shift was the discomfort of using pieces like soup ladles with the turned-up handles of the Hanoverian pattern; the turned-do...
