Chinese Modernist Etched Ceramic Plate Nude Chop Mark




Well this is a very unusual piece. I haven’t found another one like it. Marked made in China on the back, it measures 10 inches in diameter. The front design is a modernist influenced nude that is etched into the surface of the plate as is the signature and chop mark.
In excellent condition.
From the colors I would guess it was from the 70s after the Chinese market opened up in the US.

Early 20th Century Sunset Oil Painting by J. Brichel Listed Artist


This beautifully evocative sunset was painted somewhere in the first quarter of the 20th century by J. Brichel. An artist notable for painting golden light.
The painting and frame has obviously had a rough ride through the last 100 years, making it prime for restoration.
The outside of the frame measures 29“ x 18“. restoration could be done on the frame but it will take a knowledgeable hand. The painting itself obviously needs to be cleaned. Brichel’s work regularly sells for between $400 and $600, all of this has been taken into account in pricing the painting. It may also be hung and enjoyed as it is in your shabby chic coastal granny decor.

$205
