The Countess Potocka after a pastel by Angelica Kauffmann I can't find the original to say when it was done (likely about 1780). All the...
Probably lost the title in the process. The family of my BIL operated a book publishing/distribution/retail business in England before WWI. He...
Problem is: I don't think that's a die stamped book. I think someone has cut off the top margin (at a guess because of damage). If it was diecut,...
Well... they only want $95 for that, so either it's cheap or, once again, I'm totally unreliable at pricing.
I would still consider it a vintage advertising piece. It doesn't specify a product, but that's its intent. As I have stated before: I'm no good...
I'm really very little help. This is a stock poster... a generic advertising image. It would have appealed at the time to anyone who operated a...

I knew this would happen, but I didn't look at all the pics. Just saw the crowned N with a red smudge above it. The modelling of the porcelain...
I think it's more likely Italian. This style of box is usually called Capodimonte, and Capodimonte-style is probably as close as you'll get to a...
Otis. Always makes me think of elevators and this song: ♪ Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, Madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to...
That's an oddity. Cleaning shouldn't be too difficult. Use a moistened (not wet) Q-tip to get close to the top edge of the painting and on the...
Doesn't it seem odd that while the front is Chinese, the back is English? I don't think the bottle is very old. The label is colorful and fun,...
You might be right, but... there are certainly similarities, coverage of Wartin isn't particularly extensive, and this painting isn't showing...
It could be Schloss Wartin in Brandenburg. It might say Wartin on the back. Looks to me like a souvenir painting.
Yes. It's very painterly.
Back in the late ‘70s, a friend of mine was showing me color slides he had taken on a trip to Algonquin Park. Fresh back from the processor, he...
Google Starflower Teapot and you get Höchst, Kahla, Tettau, Winterling, Wallendorf, and Meissen all on the first page. And this pattern had (has)...
I'll bet you can find someone. The books will be full of great art.
Looking at Abebooks, I'm guessing this was originally published as a subscription series and later collected and re-published as these 2 volumes....
