Antique Early Royal Dux Figural Candlestic with Antique Staple Repair RARE

Posted by admin On April 11, 2026

This is a beautiful Royal Dux Bohemia, one of the early porcelain pieces. The piece depicts potters with a large column, which is actually a candlestick. It’s an interesting piece due to its historical repair with staples, which was typical for the 19th century (porcelain cost a fortune back then), so I wouldn’t call it a flaw, but rather a feature of sorts. Even this isn’t detrimental and is virtually invisible from the front. Another imperfection is that the pot is missing from the back of the figurine on the pedestal. Apart from that, the porcelain and paint are in near-exhibit condition. Height: approximately 42 cm.

Rare c. 1770 Dr Wall Early Royal Worcester Lily Scalloped Soup Plate Bowl Antique

Posted by admin On July 22, 2025

Wall first period of Royal Worcester porcelain bowl / soup plate decorated in underglaze blue decoration in the Royal Lily pattern with a scalloped and pointed rim. Manufactured in England during the late 18th century, circa 1770. In 1788, King George III and Queen Charlotte visited the factory where they ordered a breakfast service in the design, which was known as Blue Lily until then. Wall period Royal Lily pattern pieces are relatively rare, but those without gilt and the red accents more so.. I wonder whether the examples without the gilt and red trim represent the earliest iterations of the pattern? In excellent condition with no chips or cracks. A true collectors piece. Diameter: 24.5 cm – Height: 4.5 cm. Please enlarge all images and inspect thoroughly, if you have any questions or require more photographs please do not hesitate to ask.
