A very pretty Victorian Blushware Jug and decorated in gilt and fine jewelling with flora This is an extraordinary pretty Jug - buyer will be completely delighted Condition: Good - internal light crazing as expected and a small flake under the glaze from time of manufacture - this is not easily noticed unless you are looking for it (as I obviously have to). Manufacture quality is particularly good, in my view far superior to even the fine Carlton or Devon pieces I have handled 8 inches (20cm) Height approx   « Less

For Sale is a wonderful piece of pottery made by Vance Faience Company of Tiltonville, Ohio. I have a rather larger Pitcher with a unique handle. The Pitcher has some size to it as it stands 9 7/8" tall and is approximately 8 3/8" in diameter at the widest part of the spout and back side of the handle. The rim measures 4" across inside measurement tapering smaller as it gets to the spout. The Pitcher has a wonderful Matte dark Cucumber Green Glaze that is pretty uniform throughout. The Pitcher depicts an embossed Hunt Scene of Dog chasing a Stag and Boar through Grapevines with a Meadow in the background. The detail is quite detailed. The Pitcher is further finished with a Molded Handle that resembles a Greyhound Dog. The ring of the underside foot is unglazed. It is believed that the Vance Faience Company made this Pitcher from an early Bennington Pottery mold. This matte green glaze was made at the when all the other American Potters were using this matte green glaze that was extremely popular at the turn of the century. The Pitcher is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The only issue is a small one as there is few areas on the side in which there are thinning in the glaze and you can see the white/beige clay underneath. These are pictured and I personally think it adds character to the piece. The piece is unsigned but it is a well documented form from The Vance Faience, Company. This is a wonderful and Rare Pitcher to find in this condition. Usually there is damage to the handle but this one has none. That fact that it has survived 110-115 years without any damage is amazing!! This Pitcher will work just fine in any Arts & Crafts Mission Style Decor. This pitcher was made at the turn of the century, Circa 1898-1902.   « Less

For Sale is a nice piece of Art Pottery made by The Roseville Pottery Company of Zanesville, Ohio. The Pattern is called "Silhouette" and it is in a Paneled Ewer Shape. This piece of Pottery has some size as it stands 10 1/2" tall, 5" wide outside handle measurement and 4 1/2" deep. The Ewer displays a very unique brown background glaze with some green over spray at the bottom of the 4 sided platform. There are 2 Panels, Front and Back, that displays a Waterlily Flower in full Bloom with a Cattail Rising up behind it. These are set inside of panels with vertical ribbing. The pattern is done in raised relief. This is a very pleasing pattern and will work with most decors, especially Mid Century Modern. The opposites sides are smooth with one sided having an attached triangular handle. The Ewer has the daintiest spout for pouring water. The Ewer is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips, or dings. There are a few areas of lighter glaze imperfections but nothing obtrusive. It is extremely clean and appears to have seen minimal use. The Ewer is signed on the bottom "Roseville U.S.A." and the mold number 717-10" in raised relief. There is also the letter "B" written in a Blue Ink or Grease Pencil and a impressed "34". This was more than likely a finishers or Artist initials and inspection #. Those of you who collect Silhouette Vases and want an excellent example both in form and glaze should not let this one pass by. This is a stylistic influenced Ewer with a sleek Art Deco Style. This Ewer was made Circa 1950 just after World War II.   « Less
