  1. Thank you so much Apostata! I'm glad to see here. Be well, my friend!
  2. I think it is Italian 17th or 18th c.
  3. one of my earliest memories was waking from a nap with the raucous cawing of bluejays outside the window at my Memere's home.
  4. I love this! particularly because i live in E. Oakland.
  5. thank you everyone for the likes. I haven't seen a posting from apostata in awhile. is he okay?
  6. I'm pretty sure that this painting is of a Poilus - a French soldier from WW1. His moustache and the collar of that blue shirt are indicative of that. I'm going to put in a better photo of it now.
  7. I was told recently that the ring around the bowl represents a snake and that this is a shaman's bowl.
  8. I think that this was made by Johannes Brahm from California Pottery.
  9. Thank you apostata.
  10. Japanese.
  11. Thank you Phil. I'm sure that you are correct.
  12. i also mourned the passing of this gem! Broken English!
  13. interesting dog figure - whenever it was made! i always enjoy reading apostata's evaluation. it took me a long time to understand what he was saying, but i get it much quicker now. i just wish it w...
  14. i was contacted by the grandson of the artist recently. he found me through this page.
  15. thanks Vynil.
  16. That makes sense Kevin although it is written as 'hier-a-soir' which i don't get.
  17. I'm pretty certain that all the cards are from 1903-1905 or within a year or two of this.
  18. well thank you apostata - for your time and expertise. it was my feeling when i got it that they are pretty old.
  19. Thanks kwqd. the vase is 5.5 inches tall.
  20. I was looking at the base of this piece under a very bright light and i made out the words under it. It says 'Lolita' and the number 3 and very faintly around the edge, it has in script 'California'....
  21. Thank you Vinyl and Phil!
  22. This is a really interesting / wonderful tile! The dragonfly is really nice too!
  23. maybe. or maye just a spirit house with a little doll glued in it?
  24. i'm not sure i understand what you are saying apostata. ??
  25. Thanks Newfld!
  26. Newfld - that works - clicking gently and slowly tends to work well. thank you!
  27. Thank you Lizzy. that does make sense. it kind of reminds me of Banko.
  28. this is a pretty amazing sign!
  29. Thanks Newfld. i'll try again.
  30. can anyone tell me why i get an error message almost everytime i click on someone's posts?
  31. i have one just like it, but i didn't know that it was a humidor. Thanks!
  32. I think that these are pine needle baskets from the southeastern usa.
  33. https://gilbertandgeorgecentre.org/art-item/fates/
  34. thanks Kevin!
  35. beautiful painting!
  36. very interesting subject!
  37. This is one of their 'gingko leaf' pieces.
  38. thanks for this post! it helped me identify a pot i've had for a long time. there just wasn't room at the base for all the words on yours.
  39. Thanks enverybody. He had been sick for a number of years, so it was not a surprise. Kiva - añoranza! Esa palabra me tenía perplejo! I think a decent translation is 'sweet nostalgia'. posiblemente...
  40. great piece of repurposed rust! love it!
  41. This looks like a piece of pottery made on Awaji Island, Japan. The base is a little different, but i have seen some unusual bases on them too.
  42. This must have been taken in 1959. My sister and i shared the same birthday with him too! [i was born one year after her and 25 years after my dad].
  43. thanks Blammoammo!
  44. i think you're right. they really have mastered those crystal melts! https://www.etsy.com/shop/dock6potteryandtile/?etsrc=sdt&page=2#items
  45. thank you mp.kunst. i'll check them out.
  46. I think the framer did a nice job with this print. I used an old 1920s maxfield parrish-ish frame and a blue matte which brings out the same shade of blue in the print and the frame.
  47. i guess it's another kind of Canton enamel.
  48. So what kind of enamel would this be?
  49. thanks jscotto! i think it's a rare one too.
  50. these are really cool!
    51. See more
