RARE & EARLY WOOD & Sons ALERS WARES HAND TUBELINED VASE. This is a wonderful hand tube-lined vase made in the’Alers’ ware pattern at the Wood and Sons factory Stoke-on-Trent, England that dates, I would guess, to between 1912-15 and was designed by the woefully under rated Frederic Rhead for me he is an unrecognised giant of on both sides of the Atlantic, probably with his association with so many factories? In tapering lobed ovoid form over a wide trumpet foot, it is depicted with a lovely hand tube-lined and hand slip (pink) painted motifs in an Art Nouveau / Charles Rennie Mackintosh style on a green ground. The base has the above-mentioned printed factory, pattern, and facsimile signature – see detailed photographs It measures 6″ (15.25cm) H x 6 1/4″ (16cm) W approx; and is in excellent condition with no defect at all to report – see photographs and details. This is a lovely rare, unusual piece of early period Frederic Rhead pottery which is in great condition that presents beautifully and with a low start price should attract a good deal of interest from all collectors.

Fine Antique Early Inaba Signed Japanese Cloisonne Vase Rare Mark with Bird

Posted by admin On September 28, 2026

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. Sometimes the camera catches what I don’t. From my own personal collection, these nice vases would be an excellent addition to yours. All serious, reasonable offers considered. Please contact if interested. Lease check my other listings.

Rare Early Staffordshire Figure Castle Spill Vase (c. 1825) Restored

Posted by admin On August 23, 2026

A rare and very unusual early pearlware figure depicting a castle with many turrets fashioned as a spill vase. The castle is decorated in the round, the same on each side. It is canary yellow with brown windows, brown doors, and red brick steps. The brick texture of the castle walls is very nicely modelled. Each turret is topped with square bricks. The number’60’ is painted on the bottom of the base. An old label affixed to the underside says:’Example of this castle, impressed mark’Dixon Austin’ at Bowes Museum. The figure presents well but most of the squares atop the turrets have been restored. There are some nibbles to both the original and replaced squares. Chips to the red brick steps have been overpainted to conceal the loss, and some of the enamel windows have been retouched. Therefore, this very fragile castle is offered as found with repair and restoration – a lovely display but not in original condition.
