  6. G'day Bellin Thanks very much. We love this piece also Dean
  7. HI Andre No problem at all Dean
  8. HI The 19th century versions and into the 20th century were almost always painted cobalt blue but I have never seen a version with the fish actually painted inside - quite unusual. Iron red and co...
  9. Hi Bellin Thanks so much yet again. This bowl is very feminine and an exceptionally delicate piece so thanks very much for your kind words Dean
  10. Hi Bellin Thanks very much for your kind comment. We treasure this piece and will for all time to come. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but pieces such as this simply blow my mind Dean

  12. Hi Jfrm140 This is a classic Morimura Brothers piece. Morimura eventually become Noritake and they created some stunning pieces. Nice find! Dean
  13. Hi This is definitely Chinese and dating from the 19th century and is known as Monochrome ware which was made popular during the Ming and Tang Dynastys. The double circles were normally reserved ...
  14. Hi Ho2cultcha This is Chinese in origin and probably and probably dating from the late 19th century. It is referred to as a Jardinierre or Fish bowl and is a great example. I have never seen the G...
  15. HI Guys Just one thing to be very careful of is that imperial reign marks are never, ever easy to tell if the piece was indeed made in the reign of referred to as MARK and PERIOD. This is an incre...
  16. Hi It definitely is Moriage ware. Dean
  17. Hi Phiiligirl The term Dresden porcelain was indeed given to porcelain produced in the City of Dresden during the 19th and into the 20th century. During the war, Dresden was obliterated by the En...
  18. Hi Howcultcha I would almost say that these are staffordshire and dating from around 1880 or so. They could also be Austrian as they also did quite a few figures such as these but the dull colours...
  19. Hi Epson A stunningly created Bohemian flash cut glass Etui from around the late 19th century. Cobalt blue glass is one of my favourites and a great piece Dean
  20. Hi Finy This is know as a Tre Fuoci or THREE FIRES apocathery or Drug jar. The process is completed by coating the inner glass piece in 24 carat gold after each firing which is done three times un...
  21. HI Damon I would say and I almost 100% sure that this was produced in Bohemia (Czechoslovkia) around the 1950's. The gold band around the base is so typical of Bohemian glass as the Venetians did ...
  22. Hi Coca This is Veneitan Apocathery Jar without the lid. They gilding style and painted decoration were reminiscent of 17th century Venice and Museum pieces with this style of decoration still exi...
  23. Hi Guys Stephens and Williams around 1870 would be my pick. They were renowned for their applied floral decoration which gave them the creedence they deserved as some of the best glass blowers Engl...
  24. Hi Hornet This piece is made with a combination of Zanfirico and Latticino techniques. Two of the most difficult to master for a glass blower - even the Venetians and very, very few pieces are prod...
  25. HI ArtGlass This could quite possibly be Murano although without a catalogued image or further information, it is impossible to tell. It could even be Czech as they also produced pieces such as t...
  26. Hi Chevy These Angelic figurines were great items produced for the tourist trade. When the furnaces in Venice shut down is August for their summer holidays, they turn out items such as these for t...
  27. HI Jilly Great pieces and clowns are exceptionally time consuming to make. A fantastic collection and one to treasure Dean
  28. HI Justan The ground pontil and inclusions of Murrine florettes are almost certainly and indication of this being Murano. It is a worrying fact that the Chinese are now trying to take advantage of ...
  29. Hi Guys This is so typical of Tapio Wirkala's work. He pioneered the Incalmo technique for Venini and the upward bubble in the centre is a trademark of his designs Dean
  30. HI Artislove This type or style of glass is known as Argento either, Gold or Silver is blown through the glass as it is shaped. I can't really tell from the pictures but it may possibly be Avventu...
  31. Hi Guys A combination of techniques here. Both Filigrana and Incalmo where the Filigrana upper half has been blown first then joined seemlessly with the base. Great piece Dean
  32. Hi Mirekzcech Nice pieces. The first is without doubt Czech in origin and dating from the mid 50's or so. The second clear glass is known as Bullicante where controlled bubbles are blown in the g...
  33. HI Shaandoah This screams Murano and is known as a Cornucopia vase or a derivative of the same style. It is amazing what you can find when you love a certain piece or style of glass Dean
  34. Hi Mac This is known as AGATE glass where multiple strands of glass are melded then blown and stretched throughout the vase as it is blown on the pontil. Not that popular that is why you don't see...
  35. Hi Hardbrake The MON itself is Japanese and represents the Emperor. This was his official motif or seal if you like which was normally only allowed in wares that were made for the Imperial Court. ...
  36. Hi Hardbrake If you look at picture 2 of your photos here, this symbol is known as a MON or badge. It so happens that the MON you have depicted here is Imperial in nature, and that of the Emperor....
  37. Hi Curhistpub These are what look like Japanese Wood block prints on Rice paper. If you look at the artist seals which are the ones contained within a border at the very bottom of the script, if it...
  38. Hi Budek The item you have is referred to as Cinnabar ware. This is a process of building up thousands of layers of lacquer, then carving back the surface with the design or motif you require. Th...
  39. Hi Zsoka The technique used here is called clobbering or a heavy application of enamel paint in certain areas. This technique gives you the raised effect tha tyou see which appears to be contained...
  40. Hi Bjymicbry What normally happens with wares such as this is that anything that if the predominant colors are either yellow, green or red such as this, were normally reserved for Imperial wares an...
  41. Hi again Granny This piece feature the Carp or Koi which was used extensively in Japanese and Chinese Ceramics. The base although unmarked, indicates that this piece is more than likely produced i...
  42. Hi Granny The bowl you have is a footed bowl which is typical of those items produced in the late Qing (Ching) Dynasty. The heavy raised enamel surfaces are referred to as clobbering, a technique ...
  43. HI Steph This is an educated guess due to the patina and the very naive nature of the engravings. It could possibly be a Victorian reproduction but very hard to tell. You are more than welcom...
  44. Hi Steph By the designs which have been scratched into the exterior (sgraffito) and the items overall patina, I would estimate it at possibly being mide 18th to early 19th century. Dean
  45. Hi Stephanie What you have here is a Japanese Cricket Cage. The Japanese thought that crickets were good luck and the more they sang, the more luck the person who held the cage would have. Becaus...
  46. The mark you refer to here "ICE & E Co" was used by an independent English company in the late 19th and early 20th century who used to travel to Japan and source only the finest hand painted wares fro...
  47. HI Michelle The mark you refer to here "ICE & E Co" was used by an independent English company in the late 19th and early 20th century who used to travel to Japan and source only the finest hand pa...
  48. Hi Ziggy This vase is just a hobby piece that someone has made from an old mold. Companies that produced ceramics sometimes went out of business and then sold the molds they used to craft supplier...
  49. Hi Treasures These plates are called Benares Brass from the holy city of Benares in the Varonasi regions of India. They were famed for their brass ware painted in enamels which is what you have he...
