Pair of Vintage Brass Candlesticks

Measuring 5-3/4” and 6 1/2 inches tall these two handsome candlesticks are matching in style if not in height. Made of brass they have a natural aged patina, that could be shined up to a bright brass if you so choose. I leave all patina decisions to the new owner.

Exceptional Pair of Taisho Period Fine Eggshell Kutani Peony 1000 Butterfly Cups and Saucers

 

Some of the most beautiful Japanese eggshell porcelain combined with outstanding enameling talent went into the making of these two beautiful cups and saucers. Made during the Taisho period, they come from the first quarter of the 20th century. The painting of the peony flower and the greenery and leaves that are painted under the base are breathtaking. The butterflies are painted in elegant, minute detail. There are even a few dragonflies. Very rare Kutani ware. In amazingly perfect condition. Please see all of the photographs as they are proudly part of the description.
The saucers are almost 6 inches in diameter.

Pair of Chinese Export Porcelain Famille Rose Bowls 1820-1840 Beauties

Created in China during the early 19th century, 1820 to 1840, these beautiful matching enamel painted porcelain bowls were made for the export market to the Middle East and India.

Measuring 7 7/8 inches in diameter, they are colorfully hand-painted and in remarkable condition for being 200 years old.

Each dish does have a minor fault, as the arrows point to in the last two pictures. One of the dishes has a small lip chip, the other has a short tight time line.

Please study the pictures for a full condition description, and to appreciate the artistry involved in their creation.

Pair 1930s MIJ Lustre Owl Couples Vases Lamp Bases

Made in Japan in the 1930s these fabulous 11 inch tall matching luster vases are in excellent condition, except that each has a hole drilled in the bottom, toward the obvious intent on converting them to lamps. Truthfully they would make wonderful lamps. They are without chips or cracks or scratches, however one of them rocks slightly. If one was going to use them as lamps, the stick on feet that keep ceramic from scratching tables, would raise the vases high enough for a cord to come out of the bottom, and solve the rocking problem on that one vase.

Adorably whimsical, each vase depicts a pair of Comic owls on a branch. 

The painting was done by a very clever artist.
