c1920 Argy Rousseau Pate De Verre Bowl in the Ivy Pattern signed G.Argy Rousseau. 3.5" tall x 4.5" wide at the rim with no cracks, chips, or restorations. Gabriel Argy-Rousseau is produced wonderful works of pate de verre art glass from about 1914 until 1937. Somewhere between 200 and 300 different designs have been recorded by researchers. Scholars believe that between 15,000 and 20,000 total pieces of art glass were produced by G. Argy-Rousseau. That is a relatively small production and it has made some pieces of his work very rare today. Please do not make the assumption that Argy-Rousseau was just a studio glass maker. He was the main creative force behind the glass, but it was in fact a large production. There were at times as many as 20 employees. G. Argy-Rousseau glass was sold all over Europe, in The United States, Latin America, and even in North Africa. It is partly because of this extensive original sales network that his glass can be found all over the world today. The importance of Argy-Rousseau was two-fold. First, it was completely unlike anything glass makers were producing at the time. And secondly, while others started trying the same styles, no one else was ever really able to make anything consistently more appealing or better. So not only was Argy-Rousseau the first, he was also the best. That is a feat that is rarely accomplished in the arts. Below is a brief timeline of Gabriel Argy-Rousseau and his life accomplishments: 1885 – Born in Meslay-le-Vidame, France 1902 – Attends Ecole de Serves 1906 – Graduates from Ecole de Sevres with an engineering degree 1913 – Marries Marianne Argyriades 1914 – Opens his first studio and displayed his original art glass 1921 – Forms firm with Gustav Moser-Millot to market Argy-Rousseau’s art glass 1923 – Generally considered to be the peak of his work 1931 – Moser-Millot liquidates firm marketing Argy-Rousseau works 1932 – Argy-Rousseau starts a new glass making venture 1937 – Closes the mostly unsuccessful new glass operation 1953 – Argy-Rousseau passes away tw191

Vintage Alabaster Pietra Dura Natural Stone Mosaic Trinket box. 3.25" x 2.25" x 1.5" no damage. circa mid 20th century. tw190 Pietra dura (Italian: [ˈpjɛːtra ˈduːra]) or pietre dure [ˈpjɛːtre ˈduːre] (see below), called parchin kari or parchinkari (Persian: پرچین کاری‎) in the Indian Subcontinent, is a term for the inlay technique of using cut and fitted, highly polished colored stones to create images. It is considered a decorative art. The stonework, after the work is assembled loosely, is glued stone-by-stone to a substrate after having previously been "sliced and cut in different shape sections; and then assembled together so precisely that the contact between each section was practically invisible". Stability was achieved by grooving the undersides of the stones so that they interlocked, rather like a jigsaw puzzle, with everything held tautly in place by an encircling 'frame'. Many different colored stones, particularly marbles, were used, along with semiprecious, and even precious stones. It first appeared in Rome in the 16th century, reaching its full maturity in Florence. Pietra dura items are generally crafted on green, white or black marble base stones. Typically, the resulting panel is completely flat, but some examples where the image is in low relief were made, taking the work more into the area of hardstone carving. TW187

Niels Erik From Sterling Denmark MCM Atomoic Brooch. 1 5/8" wide x 9/16" beautiful condition with no issues. Danish jeweller and silversmith Niels Erik From ( N.E. From) was born in 1908 and opened his first workshop in 1931 when he was still only twenty-three . Over the next forty years Niels Erik went on to become one one of the greats of Danish design, and created many works including floral-inspired designs often set with semi-precious gemstones. These pieces took inspiration from the Skønvirke style. This was a Scandinavian development that formed part of Denmark’s Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movement . This movement ususally took inspiration from nature with designs incorporating flowers and floral motifs as well as featuring natural creatures such as fish. N.E. FROM JEWELLRY STYLES - EARLY FLORAL DESIGNS AND LATER ABSTRACT MODERNIST PIECES N.E. From’s output generally displays one of two distinct styles. In the early years of production he produced wiry, thin, foliage and floral pieces .However, beginning in the 1950's the work produced by From (which were often the designs of other designers) had a very different look. No longer does the jewellery feature romantic, detailed designs from nature. The later pieces have modernist, clean lines with geometric and abstract shapes. Occasionally the modern designs show nature as inspiration with abstract blossom and leaf and blossom shapes. In generally though, they follow the trend of the 1950s of , spare, minimalist design.production .

Sterling Stuart NYE Pinecones Brooch Handmade. Nice vintage piece in good condition. 1.5" square About Stuart Nye In the depths of the depression, Stuart Nye bought some second hand tools and a little silver. Without any experience in jewelry or metal work, but with good taste, an eye for beauty and faith in himself, he began to make a few simple bangle bracelets. Through trial and error he learned the nature of his materials and began to fashion silver into the leaves and flowers so characteristic of our jewelry today. From that day in 1933 when Mr. Nye began, our shop has changed in many ways. It has moved from an attic room through a series of additions to a garage to the rustic building built especially for our use in 1948 which we now call "The Shop".

c1910 D'Argental French Scenic Cameo Glass Vase with Shepherd Scene 11.75" x<br>5.5". Incredible complex labor intensive piece of over 100 year old hand<br>engraved art nouveau French cameo glass with no issues or damage whatsoever.St<br>Louis had been and still is one of the great old glass houses of France; they<br>had gone to the Paris exhibition in 1900 expecting to be crowned king of glass,<br>only to be completely out-classed by the cameo glass of the ‘upstart’ Emile<br>Galle. In the early 1920s they were still trying to get their own back. Paul<br>Nicolas cut a deal with St Louis –he would make cameo glass for them using their<br>facilities and then also he could use their facilities to make cameo glass for<br>himself too. This was before the days of ‘studio art glass’ if you had a glass<br>kiln you were a major sized business, not a one-man-band. The pieces Nicolas<br>made for St Louis were signed a number of ways, but quite soon they settled on<br>‘D’Argental’ (the brand name they had established for their own previous,<br>unsuccessful attempts at Cameo glass). Nicolas sneakily added a cross of<br>Lorraine to the mark to indicate when he personally made a piece. When he made<br>Cameo for himself pieces were signed ‘P. Nicolas’ usually followed by<br>‘Nancy’.Production at St Louis clearly had its limitations, the crystal glass<br>they used, had a more limited colour palate than he was used to at Galle and the<br>extra toughness of the crystal glass meant internal polishing was effectively<br>impossible. But using crystal did mean the cameo and wheel cutting could be much<br>finer.B61

My picture<br>is bad on this piece because it's seen such little use I was getting bad<br>reflections. The color matches the rest of the set perfectly, it's clean white,<br>shiny, beautiful and over 150 years old. The only place you'll find these soup<br>plates is in museums.The "Texian Campaigne" transferware pattern was introduced<br>about 1837; although made in Staffordshire, it was produced to appeal to<br>Americans. The pattern was designed to commemorate the 1835-1836 revolution<br>fought against Mexico by Texans for their independence (the word 'Texian' is the<br>British form for Texas.) The Texas Revolution (October 2, 1835 – April 21, 1836)<br>was a rebellion of colonists from the United States and Tejanos (Texas Mexicans)<br>in putting up armed resistance to the centralist government of Mexico. While the<br>uprising was part of a larger one, the Mexican Federalist War, that included<br>other provinces opposed to the regime of President Antonio López de Santa Anna,<br>the Mexican government believed the United States had instigated the Texas<br>insurrection with the goal of annexation. The Mexican Congress passed the Tornel<br>Decree, declaring that any foreigners against Mexican troops "will be deemed<br>pirates and dealt with as such, being citizens of no nation presently at war<br>with the Republic and under no recognized flag". Only the province of Texas<br>succeeded in breaking with Mexico, establishing the Republic of Texas, and<br>eventually being annexed by the United States.The revolution began in October<br>1835, after a decade of political and cultural clashes between the Mexican<br>government and the increasingly large population of American settlers in Texas.<br>The Mexican government had become increasingly centralized and the rights of its<br>citizens had become increasingly curtailed, particularly regarding immigration<br>from the United States. Colonists and Tejanos disagreed on whether the ultimate<br>goal was independence or a return to the Mexican Constitution of 1824. While<br>delegates at the Consultation (provisional government) debated the war's<br>motives, Texians and a flood of volunteers from the United States defeated the<br>small garrisons of Mexican soldiers by mid-December 1835. The Consultation<br>declined to declare independence and installed an interim government, whose in<br>led to political paralysis and a dearth of effective governance in Texas. An<br>ill-conceived proposal to invade Matamoros siphoned much-needed volunteers and<br>provisions from the fledgling Texian Army. In March 1836, a second political<br>convention declared independence and appointed leadership for the new Republic<br>of Texas.Determined to avenge Mexico's honor, Santa Anna vowed to personally<br>retake Texas. His Army of Operations entered Texas in mid-February 1836 and<br>found the Texians completely unprepared. Mexican General José de Urrea led a<br>contingent of troops on the Goliad Campaign up the Texas coast, defeating all<br>Texian troops in his path and executing most of those who surrendered. Santa<br>Anna led a larger force to San Antonio de Béxar (or Béxar), where his troops<br>defeated the Texian garrison in the Battle of the Alamo, killing almost all of<br>the defenders.A newly created Texian army under the command of Sam Houston was<br>constantly on the move, while terrified civilians fled with the army, in a melee<br>known as the Runaway Scrape. On March 31, Houston paused his men at Groce's<br>Landing on the Brazos River, and for the next two weeks, the Texians received<br>rigorous military training. Becoming complacent and underestimating the strength<br>of his foes, Santa Anna further subdivided his troops. On April 21, Houston's<br>army staged a surprise assault on Santa Anna and his vanguard force at the<br>Battle of San Jacinto. The Mexican troops were quickly routed, and vengeful<br>Texians executed many who tried to surrender. Santa Anna was taken hostage; in<br>exchange for his life, he ordered the Mexican army to retreat south of the Rio<br>Grande. Mexico refused to recognize the Republic of Texas, and intermittent<br>conflicts between the two countries continued into the 1840s. The annexation of<br>Texas as the 28th state of the United States, in 1845, led directly to the<br>Mexican–American War.tw178

The Mexican Congress passed the Tornel Decree, declaring that any<br>foreigners against Mexican troops "will be deemed pirates and dealt with as<br>such, being citizens of no nation presently at war with the Republic and under<br>no recognized flag". Only the province of Texas succeeded in breaking with<br>Mexico, establishing the Republic of Texas, and eventually being annexed by the<br>United States.The revolution began in October 1835, after a decade of political<br>and cultural clashes between the Mexican government and the increasingly large<br>population of American settlers in Texas.

Mark Kohler Texas Artist 1995 Cowboy Watercolor Early Work Gift to a Friendwith no damage. The estate it came from were friends of Kohler's and I'll be listing a few of his works. According to his website he's been painting commercially for over 23 years, so this would be right about that time. Measures26" x 23.5", sight is 18.5" x 16". "I have a passion for the American West, and for the last 16 years I've dedicated my God-given talent to one goal: documenting the independent spirit and pride that the modern working cowboy has inherited from his predecessors. It is uniquely American and worthy of preservation. Like artists before me, I am drawn to the West and the people and animals that tame this oftentimes harsh environment. I strive to capture the honor, the strength and the dignity with which they pursue their lives. It is my hope that these paintings reveal the heart and soul of my subjects, and the profound respect I have for them. It is my privilege to chronicle this amazing lifestyle and the rewards have been beyond measure." Mark Kohler is an award-winning watercolorist, the recipient of the 2008 Cowboy Artists of America Founders Award and the 2009 Phippen Museum Foundation Award. He has been invited to some of the oldest, traditional ranches still left in the country, including the O RO Ranch in Arizona and the Pitchfork Ranch in the Texas Panhandle. His works are included in private and corporate collections throughout the world.

c1860 Staffordshire Prattware Transferware Plates Sebastopol and 123 Cattle Scene. 2 great pieces from mid to late 19th century. They measure 8.25" and 8 7/8". Neither have any cracks, chips, or restorations. Large one has crazing on the back and none on the front, smaller one has no crazing. Selling both pieces shown. In the 19th century, the Pratt name was associated with the fine, usually multi-coloured, transfer printed engravings used to decorate the lids of earthenware pots used for food, pharmaceutical products and toiletries. The business also produced domestic earthenware including relief moulded earthenware (especially jugs) and tableware with underglaze, multi-coloured decoration (‘Prattware’). Terracotta and parian ware were other wares, and Godden (1988) notes that there are examples of mid-19th century porcelain printed with Pratt multi-colour underglaze prints, however, these may have been bought-in ware decorated by the company. Whilst Felix Pratt was the commercial driving force behind the business, the artist was a Jesse Austin who joined Pratt in the early-1840. He was an accomplished watercolour artist and engraver and over nearly 40 years, the business produced over 550 poly chrome prints used to decorate the now well known pot lids. Pratt’s first under-glaze, polychrome pot lid was made in 1847 and was a scene ‘Grace before Meals’. Austin’s subject included royalty, famous people, city scenes – there are eleven views of London – and this portrayal of the life and times of Victorian England is one of the reasons for the lid’s popularity today. Austin also made minature watercolour copies of famous paintings and these too appear on pot lids and Prattware. Although the pot lids have become well known, the engravings were also used on the containers themselves, on plates and on other domestic earthenware manufactured by the business and it is this good-quality domestic pottery that is termed ‘Prattware’. tw176

Gentile Glass Millefiori Paperweight. Nice large paperweight in mint condition with no scratches or dings. 3.25" tall x 3" wide. The original glass worker in the Gentile family was Peter Gentile, born in Naples, Italy in 1884. He worked in Naples(Italy), Rochester (Pennsylvania), and Morgantown (West Virginia) before building his own factory in Star City (West Virginia) in 1947. His sons, Frankie, John and Joe Gentile helped him make paperweights in the off hours at the Guild Factory in Morgantown. However, most paperweight production since WWII has been associated with Peter, John, or John's wife Gertrude Gentile. Few weights were signed prior to1963. It is believed that Gentile Glass remained in production until 2006. Most, if not all, paperweights produced from 1975 on were signed. For more information, you can read about the Gentiles in the book American Glass Paperweights and Their Makers by Jean Melvin (1967 and 1970). b34

In March 1836, a second political convention declared independence<br>and appointed leadership for the new Republic of Texas.<br><br>Determined to avenge Mexico's honor, Santa Anna vowed to personally retake<br>Texas. His Army of Operations entered Texas in mid-February 1836 and found the<br>Texians completely unprepared. Mexican General José de Urrea led a contingent of<br>troops on the Goliad Campaign up the Texas coast, defeating all Texian troops in<br>his path and executing most of those who surrendered. Santa Anna led a larger<br>force to San Antonio de Béxar (or Béxar), where his troops defeated the Texian<br>garrison in the Battle of the Alamo, killing almost all of the defenders.<br><br>A newly created Texian army under the command of Sam Houston was constantly on<br>the move, while terrified civilians fled with the army, in a melee known as the<br>Runaway Scrape. On March 31, Houston paused his men at Groce's Landing on the<br>Brazos River, and for the next two weeks, the Texians received rigorous military<br>training. Becoming complacent and underestimating the strength of his foes,<br>Santa Anna further subdivided his troops. On April 21, Houston's army staged a<br>surprise assault on Santa Anna and his vanguard force at the Battle of San<br>Jacinto. The Mexican troops were quickly routed, and vengeful Texians executed<br>many who tried to surrender. Santa Anna was taken hostage; in exchange for his<br>life, he ordered the Mexican army to retreat south of the Rio Grande. Mexico<br>refused to recognize the Republic of Texas, and intermittent conflicts between<br>the two countries continued into the 1840s. The annexation of Texas as the 28th<br>state of the United States, in 1845, led directly to the Mexican–American War.<br><br>tw177
