Theodore Havilland Limoges China Bouillon Cup & Saucer Sets
8 handsome antique Havilland Limoges china double handled Bouillon Cup & Saucer sets sold separately. These are also sometimes called Creamed Soup cup and saucer sets, although we believe the creamed soup size would be a bit larger. White with intricate gold decoration including band with pink & light green floral and leaf design.
These vintage pieces all came out of the same older home and date to the 1904-mid 1920's period. All the cups & saucers are stamp marked on the underside with "Theodore Haviland, Limoges, France, Patent applied for" in red script (this is easier to read on some pieces versus others but it's there) and the pieces have an impressed "TH".
Saucer measures 5 1/2 in. diameter, cup measures 3 1/2 in. diameter to the top opening (5 1/8 in. wide including 2 handles), together the two pieces stand 2 1/4 in. tall.
The 8 cup & saucer sets are overall in lovely and very usable shape, but there are a few flaws. No major chips, cracks or crazing. There is some gold wear on some pieces (not bad at all but there if you look for it), some stray gold paint marks from the painting process, as well as some in-manufacture pin/pit dots and other slight wear. On two of the saucers on the topside there is a single dark tiny dot. On one saucer this is a round dot near the rim about 1/16 inch in diameter, and on the other saucer the black dot is in a white china area, a tad larger oval size about 1/8 inch (we don't know if one or both of these dots could be removed or scrubbed off and haven't tried, they are visible but likely wouldn't be noticed by most people when the china was in use on a table). On one cup we need to point out what looks to be several made-in-manufacture flaws. First, on this cup there appears to be a very small low flake near the interior rim but the gold rim line goes over/through this flake area which is why we believe the cup was made/sold with this flake on it. There is also a light line of wear near the flake perhaps from the production machine rubbing (and chipping/flaking) in this area. On the bottom interior base of this same cup, if you look closely there is a small "Y" hairline inside the china. This is not visible from the underside of the cup nor does it appear to be a hairline within the surface glazing, so we think this could be a stress flaw from when the cup was made. We don't think anyone would notice this in use, but you should know this is there on this one cup.
Priced for one cup & saucer set. If you wish to order multiple sets, please e-mail us before placing the order. The shipping information has been inputted for a purchase of just one cup & saucer set and will not calculate the savings you would get when purchasing multiple sets shipped together in the same package (we will need to handle this for you). |

Pair Signed Hand Painted T&V Limoges China Bread & Butter Plates
Pair of Hand Painted china bread & butter plates using T&V Limoges (Tressermann & Vogt Limoges China) white bases and showing painters initials 'M.G.B.' on back. The T&V Limoges mark in green dates from ca. 1892-1907. These were likely painted during the period when hand painting china was a popular hobby for individuals in the early 1900s to 1920s period. People would purchase blank white pieces and then hand paint them, afterwards taking them to a store or location for firing in a kiln to "seal" the paint. Pretty pale flowers with yellow center & green leaves, 6 inches diameter, scalloped edge with worn gold paint on edge, otherwise very good condition. Priced and sold as a pair. |

Geometric Design Vintage Glass Perfume Bottle, Light Orange Color
Excellent condition light orange glass perfume bottle with glass stopper, has a clear look. There are no manufacturer markings, but given style and coloring, it is possible this dates to the 1930s-1940s period and may be Czechoslovakian glass or Eastern European glass, but we can't guarantee that. It is clearly an interesting, different geometrically oriented piece. Oval base with geometric line design, 2 1/2 in. x 1 3/4 in. Stopper narrow rectangular shape with pointed top & sawtooth edges, 1 1/2 in. wide. Together stands 7 in. tall. This vintage piece is in lovely condition, no chips, cracks, or major evidence of wear/use. Would make a nice addition to any collection of perfume bottles or colored glass items. |

Victorian Large Pink Cased Glass Fluted Bowl for Basket
Beautiful condition piece of Victorian Glass, pink glass fluted bowl, with color flowing from light pink at center to dark at edges (image may make center portion seem whiteish but it is a light pink in person). The underside of this glass bowl is white and therefore appears to be what has been referred to as cased glass (two layers of differing colored glass). It is circular, about 10 1/4 inches diameter, with raised flutes giving bowl height of 3 inches. This appears to us to be the type of glass bowl used in/with Victorian Silver Plate Baskets (but we do not have such a holder for it). Topside there are several minor tiny dark dots/pin dots in the glass and some surface mars or small scratches. No rim chips. Underside base has some dark spots/surface wear as expected with age. We believe this piece was hand blown (perhaps into a mold as was often done) since there is a large rough pontil in the center of the underside base where the piece would have been separated from the blown apparatus. |

Large 7 Inch Red Murano Glass Bowl or Italian Art Glass Bowl
Angular, flowing red glass Murano bowl (also referred to as Italian Art Glass Bowl), kind of oblong/diamond shaped, with upward curled indentation/handle on one side and downward curled/pointed on opposite side, having 4 half circle raised curled "handles" on underside, with underside slanting downwards towards a smaller round base on which the piece sits.
The bowl is roughly 7 inches long from the point to curled top outer edge and 7 5/16 inches wide across the other dimension and sits about 3 inches in greatest height. There are bubbles throughout the glass. This piece dates from the 1950's and is very heavy in weight, as these pieces usually are.
Nice shape overall but not mint, with some small chips/indentation chips in the glass on the underside base and underside base edges and a tiny bit of scratching on interior topside. |

Jessie Willcox Smith Charles Dickens Framed Antique Print Old Frame
Beautiful framed antique print with printed signature of Jessie Willcox Smith and a copyright insignia with "C.S.S." in the lower left corner. The old print may be an original book illustration, we're not sure. We have not taken the piece out of the frame and glass so as not to disturb it. Through the glass we can see that the print/page sits on top of or is somehow attached to the beige matte board or back piece, onto which there is a brown line framing the print and the handwritten title or words beneath it in the lower right corner, 'Little Nell and Her Grandfather at Mrs. Farleys'.
From some research we believe these characters and the scene are from the Charles Dickens novel, The Old Curiosity Shop. From the overall aged look of the piece, and the style of the frame, we would guess this was framed in the 1920s-1930s period, using a book page print from that age or earlier, but we don't know this for certain as the date is not indicated (perhaps one might find this written on the backside of the print or matting board if the piece was dismantled but again, we have not done so and are selling this as is/as found). Adding to the belief of age is the tanning or browning of the matting board (it is an overall light brown color but of the type a board becomes with age, most likely it was white or ivory in color when first framed) and the coloring of the print itself. The print colors are mainly of the white/green/grayish type which was often used with book prints in older books from the late 1800's to 1930's period.
Vintage picture is under glass in a thin, old wood carved frame, measuring a total size of 11 3/4 x 15 1/2 inches and about 1/2 inch frame depth. We have put new hanging wire on the backside. Excellent condition overall with expected age wear to frame including frame nicks.
A neat antique piece to hang in a study, library room or child's room. Would make a great gift for anyone interested in The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens or collecting items related to the author and his novels or works, or interested in general in great literary works, children's literature, etc.
Relative to shipping, please note: While we think this may be a framed book page/print, this item CAN NOT be shipped via U.S.P.S. Media Mail per the post office. Please do not select this shipping option because we will have to contact you and change the shipping to something else, increasing your postage cost. This item needs to ship within the U.S. via either U.S.P.S. Parcel Post or Priority mail. Also, if you are interested in more than one item we have listed on our website, please contact us before placing the order. The shipping information has been inputted for a purchase of just one item listing and will not calculate the savings you would get when purchasing more than one shipped together in the same package (we will need to handle this for you). |

1883 Framed Puck Magazine Cover New York City Tammany Hall Political
Neat find out of a home. This is a framed antique magazine cover, matted and under glass in a wood frame. This looks to be an original Puck Magazine cover dated September 19,1883 for Vol. XIV No. 341 of the magazine, which sold then for 10 cents.
The cover art is a political cartoon by Bernhard Gillam, marked Gillam on the lower left, entitled "The Temptation" on the bottom center. This is satirizing New York City and New York state politics. It depicts the Tammany organization (Tammany Hall) as a snake (it states "Tammany" on the snake) holding an apple in its mouth that is labelled "Harmony", The apple is being offered to two figures, one labelled "Irving Hall" with the name "Davidson" on a ribbon extending from the cap on his head. The other seated figure is labelled "County Democrats" on his belt with the name "H. O. Thompson" on the lower end of his clothes. The cartoon appears to be a play on the Snake, Adam and Eve from the Bible.
This original Puck cover is double matted with pink and green mats within a two tone wood frame. Total frame size is about 16 3/4 inches tall x 13 1/2 inches wide and about 7/8 inch depth to the wood frame (exclusive of the double metal hanging hooks on the backside). While an antique magazine cover, we are not certain of the frame age. It is not brand new but from the wood frame style and clean paper frame backing, this could have been framed in the past 20-30+ years, we don't know. This is how we got this out of a home and we have not attempted to open the frame to examine the cover.
We've provided 8 images to try and show from varied angles and close-ups. Please note that the camera light causes white "hot spot" reflections on the glass, so we could not shoot images head-on but used varied angles to show detail and condition as best we could. Please use the zoom feature to examine closely.
Excellent overall condition with minor frame wear. The Puck cover looks to be printed on newspaper type paper. It appears to be in wonderful shape under the glass, with all art details clear and clean. We can see a few dot holes in the blank paper area outside the graphics in the bottom right corner, and on close inspection you can see hints of what must be printed on the backside of the cover, such as parts of lines, etc. The vintage frame shows expected minor wear, nothing bad, but there are spots on the topside and edges with nicks, scars, wear marks, etc.
A fun antique piece of political cartoon history which would catch attention hanging on a wall and make a great gift for anyone interested in the political history of New York City or New York state. |

Scheidts Beer Tray, Valley Forge Beer, Rams Head Ale, Norristown PA
Scheidts Beer Ale Tray, marked 'Scheidts, Valley Forge Beer, Rams Head Ale, Norristown PA.' with full color picture of Washington & his troops at Washington's Headquarters, Valley Forge. Round metal tray measuring 11 1/4 inches in diameter and sits 1 1/4 inches in height.
Overall good shape, but far from mint -- shows age/wear flaws from use and time. Please note that we try to describe everything we see to be fair, but most of this won't be visible in the images due to being shot further away to show the whole tray (the white "hot spots" in the images are reflection from the camera lighting on the metal surfaces). Also, none of this is unexpected given the age and probable use of this tray. There are no major dents, cracks, bends, etc. Regardless still very presentable, collectable and usable.
If you look closely at an angle in bright light you'll see many flaws to the center decor, but otherwise they are not apparent, and most wouldn't see them. However, these flaws from use/age include many rubbed areas, scratches, lines, dots, etc. What is apparent on general viewing is some wear to the upper red tray rim, particularly one spot about 3/4 inch in width where you see silver from the red paint being worn away. Elsewhere on the rim you can see silver lines, dots, etc. The most wear is visible on the blue bottom of the tray, as to be expected. There are scratch lines, dots, rubbed wear, etc. On the outer blue side to the tray there is some evidence of wear but not bad, but on close looking you will see some scratches, rubbed spots, dots, etc. |

Single Old Heavy Cast Metal Clipper Ship Bookend or Doorstop
A single cast metal bookend, which can also be used as a doorstop, in the shape of a Clipper Ship, no markings. While it has a copper look, it may be cast iron with a copper overlay finish (we don't know for sure). Very heavy, weighs almost 2 1/2 pounds unpacked. Measures 5 1/4 in. tall, 5 1/4 in. wide, 2 1/8 in. deep. Appears in good condition for its age, but does show its age, with expected age wear, the underside green felt is very dirty or worn, the overall copper finish is very worn (and must have been worn off in some areas). But does have that wonderful old, interesting look. Great for a collector of ship or naval items, or anyone interested in sailing, boating, etc. |
