This windmill is a pocket watch whimsy or holder, the watch would have caught on a tab in the back of this Delft style piece and the time would have shown through the “face” of the tiny grandfather clock form. Hard to come by in any condition, this one remains unused with the original paper face in the front. Exceptional piece for the pocketwatch collector. Measures 7″ high. Also shown in the photo is a sterling silver wire and citrine nugget necklace and earrings.
In the world of lustreware, it doesn’t get better than this. Underplate, saucer and handleless tea cup all in matching pink trimmed lustre with butterfly transfer decoration. Gorgeous set, all three pieces are decorated at the center. Also in the photo, 14K gold wire and deep mauve / rose pearl necklace and earrings.
19thc blue willow pattern transferware, ironstone handle less cup or waste bowl. Measures 4″ in diameter. Also shown in the photo is a red coral bracelet with antique brass miniature padlock charm.
One of my favorite types of turn of the century clay casting was to make really elaborate aquarium castles, that look like ruins. Most were made in Ohio, at the turn of the 20thc – give or take, ten years. Measures 4 1/2″ tall and 4 1/2″ wide, with minimal chipping to the gold and green glaze.
Occupation mugs were designed at the end of the 19thc and used until the beginnings of the 20thc, this one dates most likely to 1900-10. While some occupations (doctors seem to be the most frequent) are easy to find, labor and speciality professions are hardest. I can think of none harder than a Tobacconist. Minor wear to the subject’s paint, and hairlines to the bottom of the mug – but overall, very nice condition.
Gorgeous little piece, egg cup or minature chalice that measures 3 1/2″ high and 2 1/2″ in diameter at widest. Gold gilt inside and base, with beautifully detailed rabbit and carrots in a playful field. Looks British to me, but the quality of painting is very similar to the best Limoges. The painting is signed “M.V. Price,” so perhaps someone out there will know which company they worked for. Stunning piece, no damage.
What? I haven’t a clue what company made this, or how the image is so close to the iconic early cherubim’s that Warhol used in his advertising ventures…but here it is. Drop dead gorgeous, measures 10″ in diameter with 1/2″ foot. Clearly early 19thc, perhaps even late 18thc and Chinese (it is stamped in kanji). Nice condition, stunning piece. 
Beautiful marblelized Maastricht transferware handless cup or wastebowl, measures 4″ in diameter – no damage. Incredibly hard to find pattern.
