Fine Antique Early Inaba Signed Japanese Cloisonne Vase – Rare Mark w/ Bird. Beautiful yusen -jippo style Japanese cloisonne enamel vase. High gloss black ground with wonderful colors in flowers, foliage and perched bird. Exceptional silver wire cloisonne work. Matching geometric borders at top and base attest to the high quality of this vase. Solid, heavy vase for size. Very old, rare marking of early Inaba with a finer detailed version of the now common Inaba mark we now see. I could not find a good example in my ref materials, but the prior owner referenced the following. Inaba Shichiho was the founder of early Inaba cloisonne workshops which became the modern day Inaba Company. Gary Yoshino’s excellent reference guide, “Japanese Cloisonne Enamels”, p 182, describes early detailed examples. That rivaled works of Hayashi Kodenji.. Certainly a rare mark. Anyone with more information, please share. Approximately 6 1/4″ Tall, 3 1/4″ Wide. Excellent condition for very old age. No cracks, chips or any damage to enamel. No dents to rims but show normal wear. Nicely signed, older pieces are getting harder to find. Please check my other listings. Please see photos as an integral part of this description.

Rare ANTIQUE 2 Tine FORK KNIFE Set 12 Piece SIGNED Cutlery Lamson Goodnow S. The handles are made of a very pretty wood – not sure what type of wood and very nicely crafted. A very high quality lot of cutlery and very hard to find in an 12 piece collection such as this. There is generally a premium paid for sets of this number of pieces which are rarely found. The knives were marked or etched or carved with H K with the owner’s initials on one side only. This was probably done for ownership purposes. The carving could be covered with a dark stain to match the wood color or a light wax could be used as well if so desired. We always maintain the history and condition of antique items as we find them. Lamson & Goodnow was established in 1837 in Shelburne Falls Massachusetts. They still operate a factory outlet in Shelburne Falls. This is one of the oldest cutlery manufacturing corporations in the country, and the fame of its products is world-wide. Two-tined forks largely stopped being used as standard dinner forks by the. Late 17th to early 18th century. When they were replaced by three- and four-pronged designs. While popular in the 17th century for holding meat while carving, their inability to hold smaller food items led to their decline in favor of more practical, curved, multi-tine options. We have collected early cutlery over the past 30 – 40 years and are offering another similar set of 3 tine forks with matched knives cutlery, so please view our other item listings. These are hard to find in any condition and especially in a 12 piece lot with 2 tine forks. Beautiful old color and patina! A well preserved unique example of a hard to find late 18th to early 19th Century matched cutlery set.
Antique and very scarce set of 4 French large wide bowls (9 6/8 or 25cm diameter appx)…. They display very well and are attractive and decorative…. And will look wonderful when combined with other Faience pottery/ceramics. We believe that these are early and although they are signed on the backs with the famous Geo Rouard mark, they also have a seperate but included mark of “OL” which could stand for “Limoges”, however after studying the pattern and also Rouards collaboration with other companies and designers, there is a chance that these are in fact Venetian… And the pattern is called “Alcora”. French classical pictorial in the Art Nouveau style with 2 angels holding a duck and flower, classical statue figure, jugs steaming with oil or incense, Bacchus mask faces, acanthus leaves and scrolls and what appears to be stained glass with punting pole behind, with a hint of the Art Nouveau styling….. All in an “off white” porcelain or could be “Faience” as it is glazed over the decoration. I have attached some, just for your reference and interest. Lots of pics all will enlarge and any questions then please ask and I can provide further pics and measurements if needed. Considering their age, and they are antiques, they are in good condition and I have doubled checked them over. Please note: that 2 of the bowls top facing rims have the merest tiny chips see photo of this and also the reverse facing rims do have nibbles and extremely tiny chips. They have pin pricks and tiny inclusions in the glaze and some indentations in the manufacture under glaze. They all have glaze crazing which is to be expected, however luckily enough this has not discoloured and so they remain a good overall colour. Courier tracked signed and strong box as over 2kg.
