I wish I could help but unfortunately I don’t collect Australian pottery (in fact I’m currently selling off the few pieces we have) and there’s...
Probably mid to late 20th century, slip cast commercial porcelain and of little or no interest to collectors. Such items are still in production,...
Wonderful expressions! I’ve no idea but the quality is similar to these:...
Very similar to these: http://www.drawrm.com/4715.htm and the painted, presumably decorator’s mark, similar to these but they have no...
Thanks for your useful observations - if we buy it we’ll keep it and I’ll make some repairs. The good thing about delft is that it’s friable and...
Same here, there’s so little in the way of anything antique, even from the Victorian era, that we grab whatever’s going. I’m very fond of delft...
Thanks John, it doesn’t surprise me that it would be hard to sell over there in such poor condition, and you’d know. Of course English delft...
Thanks for your reply, Laura. I think you are right, unless it's a more interesting piece, which this one isn't. Of course most old delft has some...
I am not knowledgeable about Delft but presume this dish, which is about 14 inches in diameter, is Dutch. As you can see, it's in poor condition...
Perhaps the ‘other bits’ are available under the counter .
When I spotted a BBC story about the Nigerian Black Axe mafia, I was amused by the similarity of the 'crest' on your innocent cup and saucer and...
It’s very frustrating when links lead to a dead end - it’s happened to me so many times, often with images on Pinterest.
I’m inclined toward German/Austrian/Czech porcelain. The sceptre looks like that of Berlin and the floral decoration reminds me of folk art from...
John, what a fascinating piece and an interesting puzzle. I was going to suggest Po Hing but I see all has already been revealed.
Well, you could be right but they are usually dated to the Tongzhi reign. The question is whether the style persisted into the 20th C. Of course,...
Thanks for your concern, luckily the wind was blowing from the east or south east, taking the fire away from us. Tragic for the many with houses...
Zwiebelmuster or blue onion pattern, one of the most enduring patterns seen on Meissen and other European porcelain. I like the feature of hiding...
Genuine Chinese, I’d say Tongzhi (1862-73) period, typical enamels and shape. Google and eBay should come up with many similar examples. Yes, the...
I am surprised! Linton spoons fetch big money here and they turn up regularly at auction. The few we had, we sold many years ago. Thanks again for...
