I should keep an eye out for those tumblers -- great for kids. I think they used to come with plastic tops as well. Mom and Dad had a pile of...
Could be a fairing, but not sure as it's pretty tall -- I think continental and not British manufacture. Late 19th/early 20 c.
I call stuff like that "American art pottery." :smug:
Dealers' tags are not the most reliable. Japanese egg shell porcelain. For $50 CDN, not too bad as that's less than $10 per cup and saucer. But...
Huh, that diagonal line on the base makes me wonder if it is studio pottery, or something factory made. I dunno.
Good information, thanks for sharing. Don't we wish factories would have come up with their own marks instead of copying/imitating others --...
All those Ws make me think of Weiner Werkstatte, but that's not correct. I also think the base and shade are a marriage

Italian?
I'm finding this a bit of a puzzler -- likely a late 19th c. Staffordshire factory, but could possibly be German. If you could do a drawing of...

Perhaps try a pencil rubbing of the impressed mark. It is a lovely vase.
Quality is good. I'm not familiar with the marks, but one site shows a similar mark for C. G. Schierholz, 1865 to 1907. However, the marks are...
My Dad had a sailor figure that puffed smoke rings with those little cigarettes. No idea what happened to it, but thanks for the memory!
I dunno, the colours are right for the c1920's/30's and does have a vintage vibe. OTOH, the squiggly lines for the dragon's tail could be a...
There is something odd about the glaze. Looks refired?
I think it might be Continental -- German maybe. The brash gilding reminds me of souvenir safe that the Germans made in the late 19th and early...
Separate names with a comma.
