These have great painting and strong embossing, the feet are<br>really great.<br><br>Following the death of his father Josiah Spode II in 1827, Josiah Spode III kept<br>a watching brief over the Spode works. Incapacitated by an unfortunate accident<br>at the factory in 1802, he was unable to engage in the day to day business. On<br>his death in 1829 the executors administered a long standing agreement which saw<br>William Taylor Copeland running the London retail business as well as holding<br>one quarter share in the factory. At the termination of the agreement on March<br>1, 1833, Copeland purchased the remaining shares in the factory and the London<br>business. Being greatly involved in in politics, in developing art school<br>education, and living the life of a well to do London gentleman, Copeland<br>engaged one of his senior London employees as a partner and Thomas Garrett took<br>responsibility for overseeing the smooth running of the Stoke factory.<br><br>The factory grew in size during this partnership and the production of<br>porcelain, earthenware, and stoneware continued. New shapes were added and<br>patterns and designs were influenced by the rococo revival that dominated<br>fashions in the 1830s. Copeland & Garrett's bone china and felspar porcelain<br>attracted the attention of highest echelons of society, and after her Majesty<br>Queen Victoria's accession to the throne in 1837, she acquired wares for both<br>Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. Despite the prominence of their porcelain<br>productions they continued to make earthenware in even larger quantities with<br>markets at home and abroad. Among their finest productions are the printed<br>patterns some of which were traditional designs from Spode's time and other<br>newer patterns introduced for the contemporary market.<br><br>After 14 years, in 1847, the partnership was dissolved and Garrett returned to<br>London while Copeland continued to run the business.<br>tw221

Nice Heavy forged iron betty lamp. 3 1/8" x 4.25" x 10.25" to tip of hanger fully extended. Some expected pitting but all here with no holes. This early betty lamp burned grease for lighting in the 19th century. It is called a 'betty lamp' which comes from the word 'besser' in German (meaning better). Far superior to the rushlight or splint lamp, it evolved from the crusie lamp with the addition of a cover and a wick support which ensured that any oil/grease drippings from the wick flowed back into the reservoir. The betty lamp was probably the most widely used means of lighting among people of middle or lower income until refined whale oil became common. It burned any fat or oil that was available virtually without smell or smoke, using a twisted cotton wick. B70

Hawkes & Company in 1890. This on the heels of success the year before when Hawkes famously won acclaim and Grand Prize at the Universal Exposition in Paris.Thomas Gibbons Hawkes European taste for sparkling cut glass at this time was emulated in the United States in what was called the Brilliant Cut Glass Period. Over 1,000 cutting shops were founded to meet the demand and T.G. Hawkes & Company flourished. The company was in operation for 82 years.

But judging from the patina of the hooks and wire on the back in the 70's or even 60's they decided they wanted to look at it rather than spill drinks all over it. And while there are trays from this era with a more intricate design this is by far the coolest one I've seen.This is showing up really orange on my other monitor, It's not orange, it's "regular" wood colors.

History for the Preservationist: The 1990 G-7 Economic Summit medal. The insignia on medal includes the seven countries participating (USA, Canada, France, West Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom) with its corresponding flag, as well as the CEC and the flag of Europe. The symbol of a star is in the center of the medal.The 16th G7 Summit was held at Houston between July 9 and 11, 1990. The venue for the summit meetings was the campus of Rice University and other locations nearby in the Houston Museum District.The Group of Seven (G7) was an unofficial forum which brought together the heads of the richest industrialized countries: France, West Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada (since 1976) and the President of the European Commission (starting officially in 1981). The summits were not meant to be linked formally with wider international institutions; and in fact, a mild rebellion against the stiff formality of other international meetings was a part of the genesis of cooperation between France's President Giscard d'Estaing and West Germany's Chancellor Helmut Schmidt as they conceived the first Group of Six ( G6) summit in 1975. tw248

c1890 Huge Cranberry Optic Brass based Table Oil Lamp. This lamp is beyond incredible, the base was fully restored at one point, it works, holds oil, the knobs for the burner/wick work, The oil cap says Juno Safety lamp made in Germany. This unusual lamp was likely made for and used aboard a ship or Train, or maybe the banquet of a hotel. But I think with the ultra wide base it really has a transportation feel to it. Guaranteed well over 100 years old base and shade and most likely original to each other as they are an uncommon size. This globe is huge measuring 11.5" tall x 9.5" wide with a 6" fitter base at the bottom of the globe. It is near mint with one tiny flake where it fits on the lamp base shown in the last pic, no other chips, no cracks, no scratches. The brass base measures 11 3/8" wide x 8" tall. Total height about 18.5" This is a big fat lamp. A few small dents in the brass shouldn't be a distraction as it's totally wonderful and will light up every room even if not in use. Today with portable led's it would be so easy to light this up without actually doing the oil thing in a modern home. Obviously they will be packed to death, the shade in it's own box with tons of cushion, I ship things like this globally daily, thanks for your consideration.

This is part of a large collection of artifacts I'm helping liquidate, all purchased from reputable sources over the last quarter of the 20th century, money was no object. I'm pricing everything at a small fraction of what it cost from the galleries/auctions. Just the displays alone must've cost a small fortune.

Art Deco Tiffany Exposition Sterling Tomato pattern pie server 12.25" long x 2 3/8" at widest point x 165.8 grams with no issues. tw125Charles Tiffany was born February 15, 1812 in Killingly, Connecticut. About 25 years later, in 1837, Charles Tiffany and John Young, and later in 1841, they added J.L.. Ellis as a partner, began Tiffany, Young and Ellis in Lower Manhattan. That company at the time was founded at first to sell fancy goods and stationery. Tiffany bought his parents shares of the company in 1853 and changed the focus of the company to sell upscale jewelry and merchandise. Once Tiffany bought his parent’s shares, the company was renamed to Tiffany & Co. In 1867, Tiffany & Co. was the first United States based company to win an award for excellence in silverware at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. In 1868, the company became incorporated, had four stores and was on the right path to continue to grow to the company that it is today.A Humble Start When Young and Tiffany began their business, they originally started off with offering items such as stationery and merchandise before moving on to offering jewelry and silverware. The business continued to grow and manufacture jewelry, and later opened a location in Paris. His stores adopted the standards of European jewelry and therefore, sterling became established in the United States and the American jewelry market.Tiffany was determined to obtain one-of-a-kind jewelry. It was that desire which helped fuel how much his products were sought out, specifically among the upper classes of New York. The jewelry created by the company became partially well known because of the wealthy people who desired its products. In the 1830’s, Tiffany made it’s mark in the jewelry world at the time because they clearly marked the prices on their goods. This eliminated the chance that customers would haggle and try to negotiate the prices of the goods that they were purchasing at the time. Additionally, Tiffany’s was unique at the time because they only accepted cash payments and didn’t allow their goods to be purchased on credit.With the Civil War threatening jewelry purchasing at the time, Tiffany adjusted the focus of his company and ended up manufacturing swords, medals, light armor and many other items that were needed for war. In 1877, Tiffany & Co. had become such an established name that it easily influenced the industry and was able to make outlandish purchases. This when the now called “Tiffany diamond” (a yellow South African diamond) was purchased for $18,000 at 287 carats. The diamond was cut down to 128.54 carats over nearly a year and was eventually put on display in the Smithsonian. Today, Tiffany & Co. is an American worldwide luxury jeweler and specialty retailer, headquartered in New York City.Understanding the Markings While Tiffany & Co. is famous for the “Tiffany diamond” they are even more famous for their use of sterling silver. When looking at actually sterling silver that is made by Tiffany’s there are several markings that can help you figure out the origin and if a piece is indeed made by Tiffany’s or fake. At the start, there were several silversmiths who supplied silver flatware and holloware to Tiffany’s. Each of those silversmiths marked the pieces with their own marks in addition to marking them with Tiffany’s marks. Some of the makes of Tiffany’s sterling silver include William Gale, Gale & Hughes, Wood & Hughes, John Polhemus, Henry Hebbard, William Bogert, Grosjean & Woodward, Moore & Hebbard and John C. Moore.In 1868, Moore silversmithing firm was absorbed into Tiffany & Co. and Tiffany’s then began the production of its own silver. It was at that time that the silver was to be marked with the initial of the Artistic Director or the initial of the President of the firm but that was continued until the mid-1960’s. Each design on the silver that Tiffany’s creates represents the long and proud heritage that comes with the company’s history.
