Hi Pinecone -welcome to the board! I believe your vase dates to the very late 1800's. Leonard was an importer that went bankrupt in 1898. I...
Eickholt himself retired in 2013. I don't know if the studio is still active or not. The site still seems active though. Don
There are some reference books on marks that you can pick up fairly cheaply (Under $10) on the second ary market. My favorites are Godden's...
Hi PaulaJedi - with that glaze I would say Italian. The N mark is meant to suggest capodimonte. The 1846 is most likely a shape or decorator...
That would be a good start. Also keep in mind that most auction houses keep a percentage of the sale. Around here it's 30%. I run very little...
Thank you for sharing, TallCakes. I see a lot of the coin pattern but very rarely the cake stands. Don
Welcome mhc4444! I couldn't be more thrilled when I see a young dealer/collector. At shows I often try to fill them in on items they haven't...

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...
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...
Hi Tom_G - I was able to turn up a few of these on eBay's UK site. They are plaster plates which were cold-painted hence the flaking. One of the...
Here's a link that might be helpful. It lists the codes. http://www.restaurantwarecollectors.com/forums/misc.php?do=page&template=syracuse Don
Hi Stanzerl - Syracuse China has a Wikipedia entry which will provide you with a pretty comprehensive history of the pottery. These dishes would...
Wow - thank you all! UncleChuckTX found it and it is stained! And ownedbybear, Eastern Europe makes sense. There were several other items at...
Hello everyone! I don't know why I'm attracted to these types of items - they seem to be almost impossible for me to ID. Good thing I've got you...
Hello everyone - Does anyone recognize this little terrier? He stands 7 1/4" tall. Not the best made piece of pottery - there are several glaze...
