You don’t see several characters after the N?
Glad I’m not alone in enjoying this charming scene! I think this style of pipe was smoked in France and other Northern European countries as well...
Doesn’t seem a far fetched stretch! Thanks for tracking that Pratt down. I still may shoot them an email. I’m so sentimental that I’d never get...
Looks like maybe just board, rather than cardboard. Or particleboard maybe. Edit: L. Minet on signature?
I love this little watercolor that I picked up in a lot a while back. It is so jolly and funny. I think those long pipes were popular in Northern...
I was just flipping through a book I bought at the same house. It was inscribed as a gift to a member of the Pratt family. No B initial in that...
I realized that I kind of forgot to mention an important distinction. The items I referred to were from V&B’s Mettlach production. Those are the...
Yours looks like it must be V&B too. There are big time V&B collectors. Their stuff is tremendously good quality usually. I’ve had some really...

Long shot time. This came with a bunch of old doll clothes. I don’t think it matters all that much but I’d love to know where this was from if...

I just assumed it was a sharpie or marker but it could be something more thought out and permanent. Yeh could be an early piece. Maybe I’ll shoot...
I love both of your gents. Well the one you got and the one you didn’t. I have a small collection of miniature portraits. It’s one of the things I...
I was totally unfamiliar with this manufacturer. What stunning pieces! I’ll hope to find one some day. here’s an interesting little blurb I...
I did wonder if it was made via a mold. The Pratt ceramics guy seems to have a pretty unique mark on his pieces which unfortunately doesn’t match...
Once again I doubt someone will know this mark but worth a try. Nice quite thinly potted bowl. Glaze is understated but handsome. I’m a sucker for...
I’ve only had one lady. They are definitely quite a bit more rare than men. I listed mine in auction format. I don’t recall what I got but I know...
Sounds like an interesting life! At least you know more about it now even if you’ll never know exactly where this particular one’s been.
