RARE ANTIQUE Staffordshire Aesthetic Transferware Pitcher Early, UNUSUAL Find
Posted by admin On June 28, 2023
I cannot locate any other examples of this design, nor the’Disraeli’ ribbon mark. It’s clearly an early example of Staffordshire Aesthetic Transferware, but there is no record I can find of a maker using the name,’Disraeli’. There are other examples of Disraeli dedicated, & “themed” items, but nothing with this mark, & the design itself is utterly unlike any other I’ve seen. Hard to make out, but the impressed stamp also leads one to give this baby an early date. I’m thinking about 1860. It’s in fantastic shape, considering its age & likely distance traveled in its life. Terrific crazing showing its age beautifully! No significant chips not repairs apparent anywhere.

Huge Rare Early 19th Century Sicilian Marionette Puppet Opera Dei Pupi 47 Tall
Posted by admin On June 27, 2023
Stunning and very rare Sicilian Marionette dating to the early 19th century. This particular example is the largest I’ve ever owned, standing at 47 inches tall (119cm) & weighing the same as a small child. Very solid in structure throughout, made from a timber skeleton, which is connected with metal rods and finished with stuffing, such as horse hair, and finally covered in material. There would of been more clothing, and potentially a suit of armour. The hands, feet and head are all beautifully hand carved, the eyes on this particular example also move up and down. Wear commensurate with age, crack on the head as picture shows, which is still solid and intact. They became popular in Sicily late in the Middle Ages, during the fifteenth century, and marionettes are still considered an important part of Sicilian folk culture. Sicilian puppet theatre (opera dei pupi) or, more properly, “marionette theatre, ” developed into its present form in the eighteenth century. Strictly speaking, “puppets” fit over the hand, while marionettes are figures controlled by strings, but in common parlance the terms are often used interchangeably; what we’re describing are actually marionettes. Typically, the marionettes and their theatre depict medieval characters and legendary events based loosely on history. 47 / 119cm Tall. 15 / 38cm wide at shoulders.

Rare Grenier Dark Oxblood 9 Tornado Antique German Handmade Marble Early 27/32′
Posted by admin On June 25, 2023
An Antique German Handmade Oxblood Tornado’Grenier’ Marble. This very collectible and interesting early antique marble was hand made between 1850 and 1860. It is among the earliest type of handmade German glass marbles, from an important and formative period in history of marble making. Grenier’ marbles are consequently highly sought after by collectors and marble historians alike. They are now known as known as’transitional’ marbles due to being produced during a short period of time in Thuringa, Germany; before the cane and rod types. They were handmade by the Grenier family using a hand-gathered technique of swirling and forming the marble; in this case this has created an embryonic floating form within, surrounded by tornado-style swirl-and-tail patterns with a perfect’9′ in generous helping of very dark cochineal oxblood from tip to tail. With whiplash lines and creamy white, in a translucent, galactic base. It is finished with a finely crafted single ground faceted pontil, in the manner of all Greniers; and remains true to type with the muted, sophiticated colours, and beautiful, spontaneous abstraction of design. A real collector’s marble. Size: 21.5mm or 0.84” or 27/32” inch. Condition: In very good condition for it’s age, this marble has a chip near the pontil and a patch of pitting. The wear is all upon one side only; as can be clearly seen in the pictures and video. The slightly textured appearence is a hallmark of this type. Please view the photos to reveal the surfaces, forms and colours of the marble, this allows a visual evaluation of condition. We take every care to ensure your orders are securely packaged.
