Rare Antique Early Victorian Mercury Cameo Roman Medallion Hand Mirror Pewter

Posted by admin On December 19, 2025

From my parent’s estate. They collected antiques including unusual pieces and silver. This particular piece is an early Victorian Hand Mirror 4 1/2″ long and 1 7/8″ wide. I do not know what kind of metal it is – looks like pewter to me but it is not indicated in their notes. A cameo medallion bust of the Roman god Mercury (god of commerce and financial gain, also Roman messenger god) is on the back side of the mirror with ornate and delicate handle. You can see that the mirror has a flaw in it (streaks and a mark inside the glass – see photos) but you can still see your face in it. Also see bottom of the handle. I don’t have much more information other than what was left in their notes. It really is a nice piece – 44.6g of metal and mirror, and a charming conversation piece. I can imagine a Victorian lady having this in her purse to check on her appearance at a ball or spy on someone behind her….. The detail in the cameo is quite good. I have done nothing to clean it. This piece is very nice and should be loved and displayed.

Rare Early Minton Hand Painted Tea Cup and Saucer, c1825

Posted by admin On October 13, 2025

A charming early Minton bone china tea cup and saucer made in 1825-30. This tea duo has a very elegant “N” shape with slightly fluted, waisted cup featuring shaped rims and a raised, curved handle with a uniquely moulded paw shaped lower terminal. The same model of a cup can be found in the A Compendium Of British Cups by Michael Berthoud, plates 757 and 758. The cup and saucer are finely painted in unusually vivid and striking colours (yellow being a notoriously difficult shade to fire). Expertly painted gold highlights further enhance this duo, giving it an additional touch of splendour. Dimensions: cup – 5.6 cm high to the handle, top diameter 9.6 cm, saucer, diameter 14.7 cm. There is one small chip on the underside of the saucer and a hairline crack of approximately 2.5 cm on the cup. These imperfections are minor and do not detract from the overall beauty of the set. Considering its age of nearly 200 years, this tea cup and saucer remain in good antique condition. Please examine all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
