For Sale is a very unusual piece of pottery made by a factory in Japan to compete with Weller's well known and desirable pattern, Coppertone. The shape is a vase or figural vessel and measures approximately 4" tall, 4 3/4" in overall length and 3 3/4" deep. The Vase depicts a frog clinging to a Water Lily in full bloom perched upon a lily pad. The frog and lotus blossom have crisp details and is molded from an original Weller Coppertone frog as it is the same exact size and form everyone is familiar with. The difference is all in the high gloss Jade Green glaze accented with pink highlights for the details. There is also a slight frothy white glaze around the edge of the lily pad and tips of the flower petals. The piece is signed on the bottom with an impressed "MADE IN JAPAN" in block letters. It is somewhat difficult to see and when I first picked up this little piece I was baffled that I had never come across a Coppertone piece in a high gloss glaze before. Imagine my surprise after closer examination to find out it is a vintage import. The clay on the bottom is even close to the color of Ohio Valley Clay. The Vase is considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. There is a firing line or separation of the clay by the center hole on the bottom that happened during manufacturing and does not show or hurt the value. This is rather a rare find. You can search the Internet and Ebay and you will have a problem in finding a similar one. I have never seen one before this one and I have collected and sold Weller Coppertone for some 38 Years. The Vase was more than likely made sometime during the 1930's.   « Less

For sale is a beautiful Amphora art pottery vase made by Reissner, Stellmacher and Kessel who was considered the best manufacturer of this type of pottery. The Vase is rather large as it measures 7 3/8" tall and is approximately 7 3/4" in diameter. The outside rim measures approximately 4 1/4" and the mouth measures 2 3/4" wide. The Vase depicts a wonderfully detailed Rooster in a barnyard scene with what appears to be Birch trees in the foreground and nice fields with trees in the background. This painting is done in various shades of Blue and White with nice outline details of both the rooster and the trees. This is all on the belly or the bulge of the vessel. The bottom third of the vase is done in a classic amphora iridescent cobalt blue background glaze with mauve mottling. There is a nice raised gilded decorative pattern over the blue glaze with circles and scallops that is quite pleasing. There is also a raised gilded dot to accent each scallop in the pattern The top rim of the Vase is also gilded in gold. The Vase is considered to be in Very Good to Excellent condition as there are no cracks in this lovely piece. There is some minor flaking to the gilding at the base of the vessel where it has been set down too hard or from spinning the vase on the surface instead of picking it up and turning it to view the scene. It does not detract from the piece however as the main subject matter is the proud rooster strutting his stuff for the ladies! There is also a few of the raised dots with small surface glaze chips that do not detract from its beauty and finally some wear to the gilding on the top rim. The Vase is marked with a Red ink stamp that reads "R St. K TURN TEPLITZ BOHEMIA" surrounding a kiln in a circular manner as well as the words "MADE IN AUSTRIA". There is also an incised mark in an oval that reads "AMPHORA AUSTRIA". Finally there are impressed block numbers that read "3264" with the number "26" impressed underneath that. The first Amphora manufacturer was Reissner, Stellmacher and Kessel beginning in 1892 and they were recognized for their superior quality. They had many unusual forms with spectacular glazes. There were many other potters in the Turn-Teplitz region as well however. R St. & K's was introduced to the United States in 1893 at the Chicago World Fair and they were awarded "Best in Show". In 1905 Stellmacher left the company to start his own business and R St. & K's name was changed to Amphora Werke Reissner. There is the possibility that this Vase was decorated by Paul Dachsel. This Vase was made Circa 1892-1905.   « Less

For Sale is a beautiful piece of carnival glass made by the Millersburg Glass Company of Holmes County, Ohio. The shape is a Creamer and the pattern is "Hanging Cherries". The Creamer measures 4 1/4" tall and is 5 5/8" in diameter from outside spout to the outside handle measurement. The Creamer depicts very detailed clusters of hanging cherries from branches and stippled leaves that are realistic with attention to the veining and serrated edges. The piece has one molded handle and is finished with a soft scalloped edge to the top rim along with a spout to pour the cream. It has a collar base and smooth interior. The iridescence on this Creamer is excellent and stunning. You can see vivid colors of Gold, Blue, Purple, and Teal on the exterior and interior. This iridescence is considered to be a Radium finish. This Creamer is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. All the teeth on the top border are damage free, not even a flea nick. The mold is crisp and the detail in the leaves is outstanding. The piece is not signed but the pattern is a well documented Millersburg pattern. Millersburg Glass Company began constuction in 1908 by John W. Fenton after breaking away from the Fenton Art Glass Company where he and his brothers, Frank and Charles, were partners. He began glass production in May of 1909 however the company filed for bankruptcy in 1911 most likely due to his lack of business experience and remote location. John was noted for his extravagance and attention to detail in his workmanship making Millersburg some of the most desirable carnival glass available. I have also read that Black Cherries were John's favorite fruit and several of the trees planted on the property surrounding the factory. He would sometimes have his workers climb the trees and break off a branch for him to study and work on his patterns. This Creamer was made Circa 1909-1911.   « Less

For Sale is a beautiful piece of Carnival Glass made by The Northwood Glass Company of Wheeling, West Virginia. The pattern is known as "Strawberry" and the shape is a Ruffled Bowl. The Bowl measures 2 1/2" tall at the tips of the ruffles and is 9 1/4" in diameter. It has a base diameter of 3 3/8". The Bowl displays a sprig of strawberries and leaves that circle the entire interior area of the bowl. The leaves have Stippling and the Detail in the Strawberries is outstanding. The Iridescence is almost as good as the day it was made. It is quite brilliant as you can see beautiful hues of Golds, Fuchsia, and Blue/Purple Iridescence. The backside of the bowl has the Collar foot with the ever popular Basket Weave back. The piece is in excellent condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. I can only see 1 tiny scratch in the iridescence on the interior bottom. This was too small to photograph. This piece must have sat in a cabinet most of its life. The piece is not signed on the bottom but there is no mistake that this is Northwood's "Strawberry" pattern. Here is your chance to own a wonderful piece of Carnival Glass that has outstanding Iridescence as well as a Crisp Mold Strike. This bowl is not that commonly found. According to the reference books this pattern was found 80% of the time with the Pie Crust edge and only 20% with the Ruffled Edge. Since this one has the Ruffled Edge makes this all the more Rare and Desired! The Bowl was made Circa 1910-1915.   « Less
