c1900 Michigan State University Morill Hall Wall Plaque Lead/Pewter Relief Bust<br>in Mission Oak Frame. I bought this piece a few years ago from a woman that told<br>me she purchased it from some sort of liquidation sale Michigan State<br>University. I'm still looking for the piece of paper where I had her write it<br>down but It might not turn up for years. I did find that Morill hall was<br>demolished in 2013 which was about 4 years before I bought this piece. I know<br>for a fact it was MSU and I know it was Morill Hall I just don't remember the<br>date she acquired it, not sure if I asked. It seems Morill hall was a women's<br>building in 1900. This piece is for sure that old. I would bet my life it's from<br>1900-1910. It's unsigned, I don't know who the artist or the woman is. I think<br>there's a good chance they're both someone famous. To me this looks to be a one<br>of a kind handmade piece and I don't think there could've been may artists at<br>that time or now capable of such a feat. It has minor wear as shown. It is very<br>heavy. It measures 16" wide x 20" tall. This piece represents quite a bit not<br>just for people interested in Michigan stuff but It's an important part of<br>Women's Educational History and the evolution of this country.<br><br>In December 2012, History said goodbye to Morrill Hall and moved to the Old<br>Horticulture Building.<br><br>Opened in 1900, Morrill Hall was first named the Women’s Building. Though women<br>were admitted to MSU in small numbers beginning in 1870, a women’s course was<br>not introduced until 1896. As the number of women rose, the university need a<br>dormitory—the Women’s Building. The Dean of women had a residence on the first<br>floor and home economics instructors lived on the upper floors. There was space<br>for 120 women students and a dining room, cooking and sewing laboratories, a<br>woodshop, music rooms, and a gym. According to a catalog from the day, women<br>residents were subject “to only such restraints as would be expected in a well<br>regulated Christian family.” By 1926, modifications allowed for the housing of<br>200 women in the building.<br><br>In the mid-1930s, increased enrollment in the Women’s course made necessary the<br>construction of new dormitories. As women students moved into new buildings,<br>Morrill Hall was converted in 1937 into classrooms and offices for the Liberal<br>Arts Division. That year the building was officially named Morrill Hall in honor<br>of Vermont Senator Justin Smith Morrill. He had been instrumental in forging the<br>federal Morrill Act, which established land-grant colleges. The act was critical<br>in the development of higher education in the United States.<br><br>As part of the Liberal Arts Division, History, along with six other departments,<br>established itself in Morrill in 1937. As the department grew, it came to occupy<br>all of the third and fourth floors and parts of the first floor and garden<br>level. English occupied the second floor and Religious Studies part of the<br>first.<br><br>About 100 years after its construction, Morrill’s age began to show. Inspections<br>revealed deterioration in the building’s wooden infrastructure and shallow<br>foundation. In 2010, the MSU Board of Regents decided that repairs were not<br>feasible and approved a plan for demolition.<br><br>Events then unfolded quickly. In summer 2012, English and Religious Studies were<br>moved from Morrill to Wells Hall. Romance<br><br>Old photo of Old Horticulture Building<br>Old Horticulture Building<br><br>Languages, which had been in Old Horticulture, was also moved to Wells. Crews<br>then did minor renovations on Old Hort. History was the last department to<br>vacate Morrill during a move which took several weeks.<br><br>Morrill Hall was demolished in summer 2013. In spring 2014, the Morrill plot was<br>transformed into a green space with benches and gardens arranged in manner so as<br>to emulate the long, wide halls that characterized the old structure.<br><br>Needless to say, the move to Old Hort was time consuming. Faculty packed their<br>own belongings, most of which consisted of books. Crate after crate was then<br>taken by university movers 100 yards across campus. Faculty then unpacked their<br>things and began the process of settling in.<br><br>Old Hort lacks some of the charm of Morrill. Gone are the high ceilings,<br>hardwood floors, large windows looking out at the green, and spacious offices.<br>But Old Hort has proven to have some advantages. The heating system works well,<br>there are no rats, bats or birds inside the building, and the offices, though<br>smaller, are comfortable and roomy enough for multiple bookcases.<br><br>MSU sponsored some updates of Old Hort. But there is still work to be done.<br>Alumni and friends of the department interested in sponsoring room updates and<br>in conference room, office and workspace naming rights are encouraged to contact<br>the department chair for conversations.<br><br>History has started a Morrill Fund to honor the old building and to advance<br>faculty research. For more information, please contact the department chair,<br>Walter Hawthorne.<br><br>*Some information for this piece was derived from History Professor Madison<br>Kuhn’s Michigan State The First One Hundred Years (East Lansing, Michigan State<br>University Press, 1955).

c1900 Moorcroft Style Tubelined Wall Plate Hand decorated with Squeezebag Plate with Woman Chasing Husband with Broom. Really great, likely one of a kind. I believe the reason it's unmarked is there's a slight flaw in the glaze on the top right. In my opinion it's similar in quality to Moorcroft and if it were Moorcroft it would be few thousand dollar piece or more due to the age and great subject matter. Overall crazing, no cracks, chips, or rrestorations. 11.5" wide. I'm sure it's an antique 100+ years old and it's not restored, hand decorated, but that's all I'm really sure about.

I will remove the bowl from the base for shipping. 10.75" tall 10 5/8" wide bowl.In 1853, Daniel Straub, a miller from Geislingen, joined forces with the Schweizer Brothers to form the "Metallwarenfabrik Straub & Schweizer" in Geislingen. This was the second company to be founded by Straub - previously in 1850, from the nucleus of a small repair workshop, which he had set up to work on the construction of Geislingen's famous railway incline, he had founded the Maschinenfabrik Geislingen. This company was involved mainly in manufacturing mill turbines and traded throughout Europe. As early as 1862, the young company distinguished itself by winning a gold medal at the World Exhibition in London. In 1866, following the departure of the brothers Louis and Friedrich Schweizer, the company was renamed Straub & Sohn" (Straub & Son). The company showroom, built in 1868 in Berlin, gradually evolved to become the company's first retail outlet. Three years later, the company was already employing 60 workers. By 1880, the number of employees had grown to approximately 200 and the company was already producing 960 different items. 1880 saw the merger between Straub & Sohn and "Ritter & Co.", Esslingen, to form a public limited company under the name of Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik. At the time of the merger, Ritter & Co.'s Esslingen factory was already using the electroplating method of silver plating and had the more modern production facilities at its disposal. Straub's company, on the other hand, was the more profitable of the two.

12" wide x 3" deep, extremely thick and heavy sterling silver monogrammed in<br>center as shown, no significant bends or dents 861 grams.<br><br>Charles Tiffany was born February 15, 1812 in Killingly, Connecticut. About 25<br>years later, in 1837, Charles Tiffany and John Young, and later in 1841, they<br>added J.L.. Ellis as a partner, began Tiffany, Young and Ellis in Lower<br>Manhattan. That company at the time was founded at first to sell fancy goods and<br>stationery. Tiffany bought his parents shares of the company in 1853 and changed<br>the focus of the company to sell upscale jewelry and merchandise. Once Tiffany<br>bought his parent’s shares, the company was renamed to Tiffany & Co. In 1867,<br>Tiffany & Co. was the first United States based company to win an award for<br>excellence in silverware at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. In 1868, the<br>company became incorporated, had four stores and was on the right path to<br>continue to grow to the company that it is today.<br><br>A Humble Start<br>When Young and Tiffany began their business, they originally started off with<br>offering items such as stationery and merchandise before moving on to offering<br>jewelry and silverware. The business continued to grow and manufacture jewelry,<br>and later opened a location in Paris. His stores adopted the standards of<br>European jewelry and therefore, sterling became established in the United States<br>and the American jewelry market.<br><br>Tiffany was determined to obtain one-of-a-kind jewelry. It was that desire which<br>helped fuel how much his products were sought out, specifically among the upper<br>classes of New York. The jewelry created by the company became partially well<br>known because of the wealthy people who desired its products. In the 1830’s,<br>Tiffany made it’s mark in the jewelry world at the time because they clearly<br>marked the prices on their goods. This eliminated the chance that customers<br>would haggle and try to negotiate the prices of the goods that they were<br>purchasing at the time. Additionally, Tiffany’s was unique at the time because<br>they only accepted cash payments and didn’t allow their goods to be purchased on<br>credit.<br><br>With the Civil War threatening jewelry purchasing at the time, Tiffany adjusted<br>the focus of his company and ended up manufacturing swords, medals, light armor<br>and many other items that were needed for war. In 1877, Tiffany & Co. had become<br>such an established name that it easily influenced the industry and was able to<br>make outlandish purchases. This when the now called “Tiffany diamond” (a yellow<br>South African diamond) was purchased for $18,000 at 287 carats. The diamond was<br>cut down to 128.54 carats over nearly a year and was eventually put on display<br>in the Smithsonian. Today, Tiffany & Co. is an American worldwide luxury jeweler<br>and specialty retailer, headquartered in New York City.<br><br>Understanding the Markings<br>While Tiffany & Co. is famous for the “Tiffany diamond” they are even more<br>famous for their use of sterling silver. When looking at actually sterling<br>silver that is made by Tiffany’s there are several markings that can help you<br>figure out the origin and if a piece is indeed made by Tiffany’s or fake. At the<br>start, there were several silversmiths who supplied silver flatware and<br>holloware to Tiffany’s. Each of those silversmiths marked the pieces with their<br>own marks in addition to marking them with Tiffany’s marks. Some of the makes of<br>Tiffany’s sterling silver include William Gale, Gale & Hughes, Wood & Hughes,<br>John Polhemus, Henry Hebbard, William Bogert, Grosjean & Woodward, Moore &<br>Hebbard and John C. Moore.<br><br>In 1868, Moore silversmithing firm was absorbed into Tiffany & Co. and Tiffany’s<br>then began the production of its own silver. It was at that time that the silver<br>was to be marked with the initial of the Artistic Director or the initial of the<br>President of the firm but that was continued until the mid-1960’s. Each design<br>on the silver that Tiffany’s creates represents the long and proud heritage that<br>comes with the company’s history.
