This Ming Chinese blue and white plate with bird decoration is 8-1/2" in diameter, 1-3/4" high. It has an amusing bird painted in the center, perhaps a crane, surrounded by trees, little flying things and a ship on the left. The border is hand painted with somewhat abstract flower designs and diamond shaped lozenges. The color is deep blue on a grayish ground. The bottom of the plate or bowl has a characteristic base with messy glaze and gritty remains of sand or other grit around the rim. The piece is heavily potted. It is a little wonky, that is to say, not perfectly level at the rim, probably a careless manufacturing flaw. The condition is very good for an antique that is about 400-500 years old, no cracks. There is a minor manufacturing flaw on the rim, visible at the upper left of the first picture, where it appears that there was a scrape in the pottery, and it was simply covered with glaze and fired. You could say that this adds to the charm. This is Swatow ware, produced in China for the Southeast Asian market during the Ming Period. It is almost like folk art pottery and an amazing survivor today.   « Less

Setting for 6, bone china tea service by Adderley, England. 6 cups, saucers and side plates, two large cake serving plates, sugar bowl and cream jug. Also an additional two saucers and side plates spares. Twisted lobed body, a beautiful pale mint colour with gilded rims and a pattern of blue daisies. Strangely, the creamer jug is yellower than the rest of the set, but carries the same pattern number. Not a very noticeable thing. All in excellent condition. Circa 1950 to 1962.   « Less

Beautiful early Victorian plate. No maker's marks, but in the Rockingham style, with handled sides, gilding and self-embossed scrolls to borders.

Excellent condition - the tab glue marks on the rear shown in the photos, have since been cleaned off.   « Less

This Flora Danica large oval pierced fruit basket is quite special. It is an usually large size, about 10-1/4" long including the handles, 7-1/2" wide, 3-1/2" high. The hand painted plums in the center of the bowl, identified as Prunus domestica L. on the bottom, form the best decoration I have ever seen in the center of these baskets. The full Royal Copenhagen marks appear on the bottom. The basket dates to about the second half of the 20th century. The condition is excellent, no damage to any of the flowers, no cracks, chips or wear to the gold. This type of basket sells for about $16,000 at retail.
