19th c French Motto Politically Charged Chamber Pot McNICOL POTTERY Co Liverpool Ohio ENDS TODAY!






1800's chamber pot has been cold painted with a message of some sort of political discord but I am unsure about what. 

The motto is written in French and I have taken a picture of the translation. 
The surnames around the sides of the pot may be from the East Liverpool, Ohio region but I am unsure what it all means. Maybe something to do with the region's potteries?
The French translates to, "The one who burns his right behind sits on bells? 
I am hoping you know what it all means and offer this at auction for your consideration.
This semi granite pot has a painted over chip on the top rim, all over crazing, wear to the cold paint and typical manufacturing flaws.
The bold red, white, blue and black colors are very eye-catching. 
It's a real curiosity.

19th Century Artful Dodger Desk Thermometer Grand Tour





Standing five and three-quarter inches tall on a three and three-quarter inch by two and a half inch base, this antique thermometer is in excellent working condition. The thermometer itself is French. The little figure dancing around the palm tree looks very much like the artful dodger and how he was depicted at the turn of that century. Why this little boy is with a palm tree is beyond me. As you can see, one of the palms at the back of the tree has been curled down - I hesitate to straighten it out as I don’t want to end up breaking it. It doesn’t interfere with the look of the piece. At over 140 years old, the thermometer is in very good vintage condition and has light wear and accordance with its age. It does not sit completely flush but again, doesn’t affect the look of the item. There’s a tiny ding in the base. The palm tree which has the thermometer attached to it, screws into the base and can move back-and-forth.

Pair of Girandoles w Clear Amethyst and Amber Crystals- Both Work!


 


These super hard to find French lamps, were most likely made in the 1930s. Although each one of them works, as you can see in the photos, I recommend you re-wire them as the wires are original.
Marked France on the bottom, each lamp stands slightly different height. One is a shade under 12 inches, the other is about a half inch taller. I say restoration because each lamp is missing parts, you can either work on restoring to to their original condition, or you can combine them to make one lamp. The smaller of the two lamps has four purple drops, six Amber drops, nine crystals, three clear drops, 19 glass flowers, six center stars and a finial.
The larger of the two lamps, has three purple drops, five amber drops, nine crystals (2 of which are a smaller size one of which is chipped) two clear glass drops ,10 glass flowers , four center stars, and a finial.
They do need work,cleaning, and some more glass pieces,but they do both work.
This pair of unique lamps are primed for restoration and are priced accordingly.
