Prints of his paintings were popular throughout the 19th century and early 20th. This Prattware lid was such an example produced by polychrome transfer processes.

Of all the porcelain manufacturers in Limoges, we rate Pickard among the crème de la crème as this porcelain pitcher attests.

The hexagonal pitcher sweeps up into a billowing crescendo, finishing with a large spout. The attached handle is fully gilded. Condition of this exquisite pitcher is almost mint, with just the barest of fading in a couple of spots on the handl...

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. The condition of this bowl is immaculate - even mint - and all the more remarkable given...

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. The exterior features a gradient band of heavenly peach blow colors with another bouquet painted on the outside to match a correspond...

This exceptional teapot is from the Staffordshire region of England from the very early 19th century, reasonably dated c. 1800 and attributed to the New Hall factory. It is a porcelain production imitating the very popular Chinese wares coming into the European market, and attempting to convince consumers that it was of the same quality. These pieces often depict domestic scenes but are frequently scenes from theater or novels. While in generally very good condition for its age, the pot has accu...

A larger than usual maiolica dry jug jar painted on the front with the scene of Saint Martin dividing his cloak with a beggar. On the back is the cypher for the Carthusian order and the date 1700. Unfortunately it is highly unlikely that this is the date of manufacture for the jar, which is almost certainly from the late 19th century and is loosely based on the series of jars that were made from 1697 into the early 18th century. If I/m wrong and the date is the time of manufacture then at the pr...

A goblet, presumed to be made by Riverside Glass Works as early as 1906 as pattern number 593. It has a caramel color, not a common find.

Please be aware that this pattern is known by several names such as Old English Colonial, Blucher, and Colonial, in part due to the change of ownership of the molds, during the first quarter or so of the 20th century, during which three companies owned them. As such we are unable to warrant the maker.

Excellent condition. This hard to...
