This gem was the product of the Gundersen-Pairpoint Company in the mid 20th century, but ended up the collection of an avid glass addict. For serious collectors, we can offer limited but very interesting provenance for this and other goblets we are selling from a socially prominent philanthropist who settled in north Georgia and died in 1939. The underside retains an identification tag from the collector. Dimension: 7 1/8" h

In our humble estimation, Pickard China porcelain from its early years was the Tiffany of table china. Its enameling and gilding aesthetic in the years from 1898 to about 1930 had no peer. This console bowl is testimony to that opinion as it blossoms with natural beauty from its hand painted flowers which circumscribe the interior rim in a tasteful lush gold band...

As enormous fans of early Pickard China, we are always excited to present fresh wares from this most successful period of the company's history. The footed bowl, or tazza, we offer is hand painted with transitional Art Nouveau and Art Deco influences, while still serving traditional themes such as these peaches framed with angular geometric richly gilded borders. Subtle gold flower triplets space the frames...

Of all the porcelain manufacturers in Limoges, we rate Pickard among the crème de la crème as this porcelain pitcher attests. It is a hand painted masterpiece featuring resplendent lilies of the valley bordered in some of the finest gilding we have seen. The hexagonal pitcher sweeps up into a billowing crescendo, finishing with a large spout. The attached handle is fully gilded...

Francis Wheatley ( 1741-1801) first earned his fame as a portrait painter for the aristocracy, but when he fell out of favor, his landmark series of paintings of the Cries of London depicting the working poor hawking their wares on the streets of London ensured long lasting fame. Prints of his paintings were popular throughout the 19th century and early 20th...

A nicely detailed pierced Rococo Revival boat with exceptionally detailed swags, flowers, and cross hatching for a formal setting. The shape mimics a boat and may have once had a liner. Condition is very good with no material defects. Underside is marked Depose 800, which in normal circumstances might be French, but we believe that the crown and possibly crescent to its left indicates a German article, dating c. 1890-1910...

These wonderful early ceramic pieces are a treat to find, and often bear evidence of their 200 years of life, and this one is no different. The foot suffers 2 small chips which we have photographed, and the outside and underside have foxing as shown in the photographs...

A fine Spode New Stone china small covered double handled tureen with under plate painted in the Imari palette featuring floral themes in the Chinese style. Spode introduced New Stone c. 1820, so we feel safe dating this item to c. 1825. It is in very good condition with the only flaw being minor to moderate gilding loss around the edge of the plate...

The large helmet shaped mouth has gold leaf as does the attached two part handle. The creamer sits on four gold decorated feet. The underside is unmarked. I...
