    We have glass & pottery & stuff. Some piece that I pulled out that I found interesting. Not sure if the Nippon is real or not I haven't looked into it. I know there are a lot of fake Nippon pieces. I have a ton of birds, I should post for Gila. All kinds of bird stuff parrots and native wild birds. Lots and lots of birds Gila, if you're listening. I still have so many boxes to go through.

    Okay so the Nippon is most likely fake from what I have read that mark has been so counterfeited it would be hard to know if it wasn't. Oh well.

    However that little piece of pottery I have found to most likely be Rookwood which is apparently pretty good stuff.

    I love researching these things it's so much fun when you find them.

    yes...the pottery is rookwood. Very nice piece. There is a way to date it by counting the "flames" over the R. I can't remember off hand the formula

    I couldn't remember how to date it either, so I googled.

    Yeah nice piece of early hand painted Rookwood Pottery. Currently in a down market for art pottery (past ten years), should make a nice "bargain" for someone.

    So, utilizing the article, it appears to be 1890 vintage?

    Found this about dating rookwood. So if I am counting the flames correctly....your piece was made in 1891 and has the IRIS glaze. which is what the W indicates.

    Between 1886 and 1900 one additional flame was impressed around the logo for each year; such that in 1900 fourteen flames surrounded the Rookwood trademark. For example the photo to the right shows the Rookwood trademark with 8 flames indicating this vase was produced in 1894. Beginning in 1901, the company stopped adding flames to the logo and started using roman numerals below the fourteen flame trademark to date the pottery.

    If I were to guess on the Pink satin vase......It would be Mt Washington. But that's just a WAG on my part.

    The Adams is fairly recent - 1960s. The Wedgwood looks early 20th.

    That urn is interesting and looks rather good. Is it hand painted?

    Where did you find the information on the fake Nippon mark?

    Gosh, I don't know (somewhere online) I can't find it now. They just said that the mark with the wreath and the M had been counterfeited so much and so well that it has made it nearly impossible to tell the difference.

    Oh wow thanks that doesn't look to shabby.

    I will look into that. Thanks

    Thank you. This client seem to have some nice items. I still have a ton of boxes to open which I am about to go do. There is just no telling the treasures she has stored away.

    Your Nippon mark does not look like a fake to me. See what others have to say.

    The Limoges mark was used by Lanternier from 1891 to 1914. It's listed on page 225 of the Collectors Encyclopedia of Limoges, Third Edition by Mary Frank Gaston.

    The Nippon mark looks right to me too; my grandmother bought a lot of it new and I've been looking at Nippon marks my whole life.:) That's Morimura Brothers, the old mark for Noritake. I've never seen a fake Noritake mark, probably because their older pieces simply aren't worth enough to be worth the effort to reproduce.

    Just in case you hadn't picked this up, choir preaching-to alert, a country of origin on a porcelain or pottery piece generally means it was made after 1890. A US import law changed then, and anyone exporting to the US had to mark where a piece came from. The Germans between WWI and WWII would sometimes mark pieces "foreign" because the country wasn't popular afterward, for the obvious reason.
