Featured chinese? blue & white vase

Hi folks, from another local auction lot.

guessing its got to be chinese, was a bit disappointed at the pick up, as its not as old as i thought it looked, but had no pic of the base in auction pics

the brown Majolica google suggests as minton, but unmarked

the other interesting one is japanese and hideous

any thoughts or info appreciated

 

The blue an' white does seem Chinese...a flask of some kind, perhaps wine or other beverage. I like it!
The 'hideous' vase may surprise you...is it marked?

 

hang on whit ill just grab it.... i'm using it as a door stop

L&Co Nippon in a reef

What's a 'reef'?

great name to have attached, but i have always thought it was nice.........

a doorstop no more

 

wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't for the clash of colours, the gilding is outer glaze so might be able to tidy that up

 

I like the Art Nouveau shape. This could be the one that brings some nice money.

 

surprisingly the best of the bunch possibly Aj. Might photo better with a darker background. Great that the handles are damage free as well, those buggers are usually broken at places

 

A reef is how people with no teef pronounce wreath.

 

I can see why you bought the blue n white. Hand painted and the banana leaves draw you in.

I'm surprised at how plain the liberty mark is. I would have expected gold leaf and diamond dust. I usually put anything down again if it says Nippon on the base. Next. Who knows, I may have rejected several liberty pieces in my life time. Now we know...

 

laugh......i nearly spat my dentures out

 

This site is suggesting dudson for the brown jasperware. Although it does mention that they sold their designs to others.

Are we sure about the L & Co being Liberty? That said, whichever is the money-maker, I'd take the brown one. Not sure who made it. But I like the scene in a cartouche on a rather simple pot. So different from seeing that type of decoration on Wedgwood and painted on cabinet plates, etc.

 

Agreed, Kent...doubly so for the shape of the cartouche. Very elegant, overall!

 

?


OR….

 

you clever thing you

does actually look better with a darker background, still don't like it though, can't get past the colour clash

 

Going for the IKEA look now

 

gonna have to work out how to do that, very impressed. would improve sales as well i bet
