1913 Women's Suffrage Parade Photographs from Schofield Barracks Hawaii
1913 Women's Suffrage Parade Photographs from Schofield Barracks Hawaii. I'm selling Two Suffrage Photo's from either 1913 or 1914 largest is 4" x 6", top one is 3 3/8" x 5.5" They are labeled as different years but close examination shows they are from the same year likely taken by different cameras contributing to the variation in size. But close examination shows some of the same signs and banners including "Discuss women's rights, recuss her wrongs, cuss the men" which surely isn't a common sign, lol. These two photos could be removed with care they are glued but it's 100 year old glue and many of the other pics in the album are falling out. I felt it appropriate to include the whole page front and back for provenance sake, the other pictures while interesting are free. I'm selling the two Suffrage photos which would be rare and important even if they weren't from an army barricks in Hawaii. I feel fairly confident these are likely the only photos in existence from that event. Buying what you see 8 photos on 9.25" x 13.75" sheet of paper.

Made from cigar boxes as shown from the exposed section on the base.<br>From a San Antonio, Texas estate.<br>The first picture is actually the back of the box with the initials on the front<br>and the date on the back.<br><br>Tramp art<br>Tramp art is a style of woodworking which emerged in America the latter half of<br>the nineteenth century. Some of tramp art's defining characteristics include<br>chip or notch carving, the reclaimation of cheap or available wood such as that<br>from cigar boxes and shipping crates, the use of simple tools such as penknives,<br>and the layering of materials into geometric shapes through glue or nails. One<br>technique used in tramp art is Crown of Thorns joinery.<br><br>History<br>Although widespread use of wooden cigar boxes in the 1850s sparked involvement<br>in tramp art, it was most prevalent during the Great Depression. Tramp art was<br>made around the world but it prospered in the United States. Examples can be<br>found in every state. The most common forms were the box and the frame and<br>although there were no rules or patterns to lend commonality in the artists’<br>work there were objects made in every conceivable shape and size including full<br>sized furniture and objects of whimsy.<br><br>Tramp art was a democratic art form made wherever the raw materials used in its<br>construction were found. It appealed to men who might have made an important<br>body of work such as ‘Sunflower’ artist John Martin Zubersky (active c. 1912 –<br>1920) or the wonderfully expressive wall pockets by John Zadzora (active circa<br>1910) but also to men who might have made one piece in their lifetime. It was<br>easy to make and appealed to anyone who had a desire to take a pocketknife to<br>wood.<br><br>There were countless men, some women, and even children who historically<br>constructed tramp art.<br><br>Origins of the Term<br>A 1959 article by Frances Lichten in Pennsylvania Folklife used the term "tramp<br>work" to describe crafts constructed from waste materials such as discarded<br>cigar boxes and assembled with a penknife. Contemporary scholars and art dealers<br>such as Clifford A. Wallach have noted that while this art form may have been<br>practiced among America's itinerant population, it was by no means unique to<br>them and was practiced by factory workers, farmers, and laborers in other<br>occupations.<br><br>In 1975 Helaine Fendelman published the first book on tramp art, Tramp Art an<br>Itinerant's Folk Art. The book acted as a catalog to the first museum show on<br>the art form sponsored by the American Museum of Folk Art.<br>b30

1920's Awaji Japanese Deco Art Pottery Vase Tubelined Squeezbag Decoration in th
1920's Awaji Japanese Deco Art Pottery Vase Tubelined Squeezbag Decoration in the Style of Moorcroft. Very unusual and wonderful piece. Period art deco, signed Made in Japan and the Awahi Kiln Mark. The outlines of the hand painted decoration are Tubelined. 7.5" tall x 7.25" wide at rim. No cracks, chips, or restorations, some expected crazing, but no stains. While the decoration is also Gouda style, this is really next level quality with the tubelined squeezbag and the great matte glaze. In my opinon this would be a Book Cover type example for a few diferent collecting areas, it's fresh to the market for the first time since the internet. Awaji pottery has got its name after the Japanese island at which it was made during a period of about one hundred years, between 1830 and 1939. Most of the pieces we find are made from the mid 1870's when Awaji began to export its products, to the mid to late 1930's when the last of the kilns closed. Earlier wares from the active period of this kiln catered to the Asian taste and could be found imitating Chinese monochromes from the Kangxi period and later. Wares from the turn of the century, the shapes got more inspired by the western art movement such as Art Deco (Jugend) and Art Noveau. Awaji pottery is usually hand thrown. The body is made of high-fired, white or cream colored clay. Footrims can vary from pink or buff to white or grey. The glazes are lead based and often brilliant in tone. They are typically translucent and have a fine crackle. The lead in the glaze gives the colors brilliance and makes the translucent enamels glassy and often iridescent. Most common are the green and yellow Awaji monochromes. The yellow can range from pale lemon to deep amber but also cobalt blue, aubergine, light green, blue, light and dark turquoise, mirror-black, and burdy occurs. Other wares can feature two-tone glazes, three-color glazes that are very similar to Chinese sancai), pieces, with incised decoration (most commonly featuring iris flowers), and applied relief decoration. Also more gaudy examples from the last decade are Flambé and drip glazed wares similar to Japanese Sumida and Chinese Shiwan pottery, or later Jindezheng Jun or transmutation glazes, with generous layers of thick glaze B35

1920's French Legras Cameo Art Glass Vase
1920's French Legras Cameo Art Glass Vase. 9" tall with no cracks, chips, or restoraitons.The Legras glassworks – ultimately a multi-centred concern employing hundreds of people across several manufacturing centres – produced enough highly-distinctive pieces to be considered an art-glass movement in its own right.It’s more accurate, of course, to consider the name one of the foremost in the panoply of innovative, experimental and overtly artistic producers who revolutionised decorative glassware from the mid 1860's, throughout the fin de siècle, across the duration of the Great War and beyond The founding father of the company, François-Théodore Legras, came from humble stock, having be life as a woodsman in the Vosges department south of Strasbourg. In 1859, Legras determined that there was potentially more to life than trees and leaves, and secured himself a clerical apprenticeship at the glassworks in Clairey, a long-established manufactory producing drinking glasses and tableware which – crucially for Legras – included the manufacture of crudely-frosted pieces. After learning his trade for five years, Legras moved to Paris and took a job at the Plaine St Denis factory, securing a senior managerial role by the age of 27. He was director of the works when, underwritten by expat-philanthropist Sir Richard Wallace, it was significantly extended and modernised; the duo also took over another factory at Pantin, on the northern fringes of the city. Unrestrained by the financial strictures of facilities lacking patrons such as Wallace, Legras was able to encourage an experimental approach to glass production, harking back to his childhood in the Darney Forests and using opaque glass – based on Clairey’s frosted material – as a canvas on which designs could be created. The businesses were also underwritten by the production of utilitarian glassware for industry – distilleries and pharmacies – and this security gave François-Théodore the freedom to develop his art-glass production techniques. Intricately cut cameo glass pieces, acid-etched and enamelled imagery – requiring up to five separate firing processes to achieve the desired effect – became the Legras hallmark, with many pieces featuring forested landscapes and the favoured themes of the artistic director - irises, orchids and chrysanthemums.Additional members of the Legras family were apprenticed in to the company, notably a nephew – Charles – whose expertise in the chemical treatment of glass to produce marbled, opaline surfaces on which designs could be overlayed, was to prove a valuable commodity. Charles was ultimately to take over the running of the businesses in 1909, seven years before the death of his uncle. He was able to maintain a level of innovation which sustained the company for another decade – achieving notable successes in developing synthesised “gemstones” which could be ground up and incorporated in to the glass melt to give an extraordinary depth of colouration which provided the base for the production of striking cameo vessels.tw108

1920's Fulper Porcelain perfume lamp
1920's Fulper Porcelain perfume lamp. 6" tall x 5" wide in working condition<br>with no cracks, chips, or restorations. Embossed fulper on base. The same Fulper<br>American art pottery company from New Jersey.<br>tw212<br><br>The Fulper Pottery Company was founded in Flemington, New Jersey in 1899 by<br>Charles Fulper and his sons. However, the pottery had existed since 1815 when<br>the first pottery was created by Samuel Hill. The pottery initially produced a<br>wide variety of utilitarian ware, and drain tiles and storage crocks and jars<br>from Flemington’s red earthenware clay. In 1847 Dutchman Abraham Fulper, an<br>employee since the 1820s became Hill’s partner. He later took over the company.<br><br>It was not until the early 1900s when William Hill Fulper II (1870-1953) started<br>to experiment with colored glazes and the company started to create some of the<br>art pottery it is famed for. Fulper is credited with inventing the dry-body slip<br>glaze, which was used to create colorful designs on his pottery. He also<br>developed a method of using electric kilns to fire his glazes, which resulted in<br>brighter and more consistent colors.<br><br>Fulper Pottery’s Vasekraft line was inspired by the work of German potter John<br>Martin Strangl. The line includes a wide variety of vases, bowls, and other<br>vessels, all with Strangl’s signature clean lines and simple forms.<br><br>The company is especially known for the Fulper lamps-with glazed pottery shades<br>inset with colored glass-were truly innovative forms. The firm’s most<br>spectacular and innovative accomplishments are the table lamps made with glazed<br>pottery bases and shades, which were inset with pieces of colored opalescent<br>glass. These were produced from about 1910-1915 and are very rare, especially in<br>perfect order.<br><br>William Hill Fulper II was also an excellent advertiser and marketeer and<br>Fulper’s Vasekraft products were sold throughout the United States in the most<br>prestigious department stores and gift shops. Fulper’s pottery was exhibited at<br>the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, where it<br>received a gold medal. His work is also included in the collections of the<br>Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Philadelphia<br>Museum of Art.<br><br>During its first twenty-five years, Fulper Pottery was particularly known for<br>its flambé glazes, which were heavily influenced by Chinese and Japanese ceramic<br>traditions. These glazes, which resulted in vibrant and often unexpected colors,<br>helped to establish Fulper Pottery’s reputation for innovative and high-quality<br>art pottery.<br><br>After World War I, Fulper Pottery began to shift away from its Germanic roots<br>and move towards more Oriental-inspired forms. The company’s designers began to<br>experiment with new shapes and glazes, inspired by the Art Deco movement that<br>was sweeping Europe at the time. The Vasekraft name was changed to Fulper<br>Pottery Artware. These new pieces were softer and more graceful than the<br>functional stoneware that Fulper had been producing up until that point, and<br>they proved to be very popular with the public.<br><br>In the 1920s, Fulper Pottery was one of the leading producers of Art Deco<br>ceramics in the United States. The company’s designers created a wide range of<br>vases, lamps, and other objects that were both beautiful and stylish. Fulper’s<br>pieces were featured in some of the most prestigious design magazines of the<br>day, and they were popular with both collectors and everyday consumers.<br><br>In 1925, Charles Fulper died, and his sons took over the operation of the<br>pottery. Under their leadership, Fulper Pottery continued to experiment with new<br>glazes and firing techniques. They also began to produce a line of dinnerware,<br>which was very popular during the Depression-era.<br><br>The Great Depression hit Fulper Pottery hard, as it did many other businesses.<br>The company was forced to lay off a large number of employees and cut back on<br>production. However, Fulper’s designers continued to experiment with new ideas,<br>and the company managed to survive the difficult economic times.<br><br><br>William Hill Fulper II died suddenly in 1928. The company continued to be run<br>with Martin Stangl as President. In 1935, Fulper Pottery Artware production was<br>ceased at the small remaining Flemington location, and that building was<br>utilized solely as a retail showroom for the company’s ceramic products. After<br>1935, the company continued to be Fulper Pottery, but produced only Stangl<br>Pottery brand dinnerware and artware.
