Figurine of Minerva, made England circa 1770-1775 by Derby / Chelsea Derby.Stands 10 1/2inches high. Figurine stands on an ornate, Rococco scrolling base, heavilly gilded. Minerva, the goddes of wisdom. She is the roman counterpart of Athene, said to be a daughter of Zeus. At her feet the wise owl is perched on a pile of books and as she was also a warrior, she holds a shield upon which the head of the Gorgon Medusa is moulded. Behind her are bushes with tiny flowers and leaves. The same figure is to be found in John and Margaret Cushion''s book on porcelain, pg 136. It is unmarked, as were most pieces of the time.Condition is generally very good, considering the age. The index finger of her right hand has lost it''s tip. There is a kiln crack under the base, original to the piece. There are a number of losses to the leaves in the background (as is also very common in a piece of this age). Black light shows no other losses or restorations. Status: For Sale Reference#: 1648 Condition: See Description Year: See Description   « Less

Very rare and exceptional pair of pastille burners made in England in the Coalbrookdale factories, c 1830. While this kind of piece is very difficult to find, a pair is very unusual. Measurements: 8'' high; 5 1/2'' diameter. The base is like a cup with an attached saucer and the lid is in the form of an elongated bell with a long turret of encrusted flowers on top. The holes for the smoke to emerge are hidden amongst this rich encrustation of applied flowers. The entire surface of the bowl, cup and lid is covered with tiny flowers, probably in imitation of Meissen''s SNOWBALL / SNEEUBALLEN. They are light turquoise and white with yellow centers. There are a number of applied modelled flowers, stems and leaves covering this layer as well. The rims of top and bottom have a rich gold border. There are no marks on this piece as was normal in England at that time. Condition:excellent condition. For such very fine detail, they are in fantastic shape: the small encrusted flowers (snowballs) are almost entirely intact, with one or two very minor chips (and you really have to search for them) and the larger applied flowers have the usual, minor losses. Otherwise, there are no chips/cracks to the porcelain and the gilding is also in great shape - not worn at all.
