New York Estate...

Here's a few more items from the same estate. The blue and gold piece is the most intriguing to me, Limoges? One piece is Campodimonte I believe. I was hoping the tooling on the crock could pinpoint a maker. I don't think milk glass carafe is from the estate, but it's unusual. Any thoughts on anything are appreciated.

 

I think everything here is unique enough that I didn't number the photos. The stoneware has no markings. There is a set of these Demi C&S. I've already bought the little Chinese lady figurine.

 

Unique is not a synonym for unusual.

 

Thanks for the enlightenment!

I'm using "unusual" as it is defined in the English dictionary. I think unusual is the appropriate word choice.

However, unique is defined as such,
"being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else.".

Are you implying that this milk glass carafe is one of a kind? I didn't realize it was so rare and unique.

 

I think everything here is unique enough

:-(

 

Unique as a word is unique, I don't think you can call distictive a synonym, and it certainly takes no compatives such as 'enough'. By applying the word 'enough' the OP is allowing relativity of uniqueness, indicating that the word they intended to use was 'unusual'.

Just a pet peeve.

 

All this is JMHO of course - On the blue and gold I would say not Limoges but for some reason the mark says Italian to me. The $65.00 asking price is way too high. The trophy vase also looks Italian but capodimonte can mean different things to different people so I'm going to leave that one alone. I can't help wondering if it should have had a lid though. I'd need to see more pictures of the brown vase but unless it's studio pottery it is an import. White carafe with the ring pattern I would guess mid-century - love that handle - most likely another import. Chinese lady is most likely brand new or close to it. As for the demi tasse (or chocolate cups?) I'd take a pass unless the pot is also there. Be a tough sell otherwise. I don't recognize the mark but I'll look around. Dates would be very late 1800's - early 1900's.

 

I agree with your comment except the date on the figure. I think it is no less than 50 years old or so. Unfortunately it has been broken and glued in a few places. The lady is Kuan Yin. I have a celadon piece of the same figure that I do suspect is nearly brand new. Here are some others. They are not very valuable.

I think the flea market owner that bought the estate might be trying to recoup some losses. I wouldn't pay her asking price on the vast majority of her stuff.

 

Here's the celadon piece that I suspect is newish.

 

I could very well be wrong on the Chinese figurine. I really don't have much of a talent for dating them - I think because the Chinese have produced some of their pottery in the same style and the same way for hundreds of years. If I buy Chinese pottery I do so solely for aesthetic reasons. It was the word "China" that led me to believe it was more recent but I guess all that really means is that it's most likely 20th century.
