Antique Hand Carved Jointed Artists Model Doll. This is from the Estate of<br>Milton Simpson, author of several books and publications of Folk a. He was the<br>graphic designer who discovered the Woodbridge figures collection in New Jersey.<br>Not the construction worker that found them but the person who purchased them<br>all from a local pawn shop and recognized their importance. There is a very high<br>probability this piece is published in one or more of his books/publications.<br>20" tall and Jointed everywhere, all the joints are functional, some a little<br>loose as this is about 100 years old. It is standing unassisted in two of the<br>pics but might not be the best idea unless held with "museum wax" or something<br>similar. tw106<br><br>Milton Simpson (1911-2023)<br>Milton – also known by his friends and acquaintances as Milt - was born and<br>raised in Brooklyn, New York City and raised his family in Millburn, New Jersey.<br>He attended the New York School of Industrial Art (SIA), now the School of Art<br>and Design. He then worked for Incorporated Ideas Advertising Agency in New<br>Jersey before joining the United States Army, serving in Korea.<br>After his discharge from the Army, Milt attended The Workshop School of<br>Advertising & Editorial Art. Upon completion of his studies there, he became the<br>Art Director of The American Baby Magazine in New York, Assistant Art Director<br>at Lewin, Williams & Saylor in New Jersey, and then Art Director of Kenyon-Baker<br>Advertising & Baker Printing Company, (both of which were under one roof) in New<br>Jersey. (He left there because the promised air conditioner was never<br>installed!)<br>He then worked as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator for several<br>years.<br>In 1964, he and business partner Don Johnson founded the firm of Johnson &<br>Simpson Graphic Designers with Milt as president. They were based in a townhouse<br>in beautiful downtown Newark, New Jersey and specialized in corporate<br>communications. The design projects they took in included annual reports,<br>corporate magazines, capability brochures, posters, museum catalogs, trademarks<br>and books. Their clients included Conoco, Johnson & Johnson, New Jersey Bell,<br>Hoffmann-La Roche, The Newark Museum and Singer Corporation.<br>The firm was featured in every major design publication, was recognized by over<br>350 graphic design awards and he and Don were inducted into the New Jersey Ad<br>Club's Advertising Hall of Fame in 1991.<br>Milt also served on the Advisory Board of The Greater Newark Chamber of Commerce<br>and was an Adjunct Professor (Publication Design) at Montclair State College.<br>The New Jersey Art Directors Club voted Milt Art Director of the Year in 1972.<br>Books were his passion. He couldn't seem to get them out of his system and<br>didn't try to. For many years he produced and self-published a series of<br>Artists' Books using several print-on-demand platforms. Milt was always a<br>student and appreciator of quirky, eccentric and irrational human behavior.<br>These Artists' Books were very much influenced by his observations and<br>obsessions.<br>Among many others too numerous to mention, he wrote "Windmill Weights; which was<br>self-published and "Folk a" published by HarperCollins.

Antique Hand Painted Limoges Lamp w/Neoclassical Woman Playing Lyre. Really nice<br>lamp with no damage in working condition. It's been rewired but the brass base<br>is early 20th century. By the Shape of the porcelain vase I think it may have<br>always been a lamp but have no way of knowing for sure. I did once see a very<br>similar shape in an oil lamp bring close to $2000 at auction, so maybe it was<br>once an oil lamp. I can't find a mark but the quality is unmistakably Limoges<br>French porcelain from the late 19th to early 20th century. Measures 19.5" to top<br>of socket where bulb goes, 27" to the top of the loop (not shown) where the<br>shade will rest, and 14" to the bottom of the brass stem that goes up for the<br>socket.

sale - www.estatefreshaustin.com Estate Fresh Austin Antique Japanese Black-Lacquer Suzuribako (Writing Box) and Cover, late Meiji or
Antique Japanese Black-Lacquer Suzuribako (Writing Box) and Cover, late Meiji or early Taisho Period. Amazing item in original box. Some wear to lacquer but overall clean in good condition. Outer box measures 8.75" x 6". Suzuri-bako (硯箱; "inkstone box") are a type of Japanese writing box. The boxes are traditionally made of lacquered wood and are used to hold writing implements. Historically, the boxes were associated with calligraphy, and as such they were made using high-quality materials designed to safeguard porcelain inkstones (suzuri) from damage. History The first suzuri-bako were developed in 9th-century Japan. At the time, calligraphy was an integral part of Japanese society. In order for a writer to produce a high-quality calligraphy script, a set of precise tools was needed. The most important of these tools was the inkstone, which was required to hold and transfer ink onto a writer's brush. Ink sticks, water droppers, and a small knife were also part of a calligrapher's set. Suzuri-bako were designed to ensure that the various tools a calligrapher needed were properly organized and protected. Due to the insoluble nature of resin-based lacquer, the contents of the writing box were relatively safe from moisture.[3] Inside of the square or rectangular boxes rested a number of different trays and holders, the layout of which differed from period to period.[2] Early boxes were large enough to accommodate both the writer's implements and papers, while later boxes only housed tools. A second type of box, the ryōshibako, were used in later periods to house completed papers. Suzuri-bako became more elaborate as over time. While early period boxes are often decorated with solid red lacquer, more modern boxes are decorated in any number of ways. From the Muromachi period onward, many writing boxes have been decorated with images from Japan's great works of literature. Kōdaiji Temple in Kyoto became associated with a style of Suzuri-bako decoration that featured asymmetrical patterns and autumn grasses. In terms of lacquerware, black, brown, and gold are the most common colors seen in more modern suzuri-bako. During the Edo period many dowries included a suzuri-bako. Advancements in technology and manufacturing processes during the Meiji period resulted in a development of a number of new box shapes and sizes. The craft declined after the wide scale replacement of calligraphy, though the boxes are still produced in small numbers.

Antique Japanese Taisho Period Mixed Metals box. 2 3/8" wide x 1.75" deep x 1 1/8" tall with no issues, amazing work of art. First quarter of 20th century, Allie monogram in interior. Fujii Yoshitoyo was born in 1868 in Kyoto, Japan. Some sources write "Yoshitoyo" as "Biho" or "Miho", as 美豊 can be read in several ways. In addition, Fujii's first name can be written either as 美豊 or 美豐, since 豊 kanji is the simplified form of 豐. Fujii's family is known as early as 17th century and for four generations has enjoyed renown as the producer of inlaid work of first rank. Early in life, Yoshitoyo trained himself in this art, which led him to perceive the fact that there was ample room for further improvements and developments. Long experience and careful study gave him the skill and knowledge by which he could perfect the art, but Kyoto in those days was quite conservative, so that it was practically impossible for him to carry into practice the results of his investigation. He left home and came to Tokyo, the centre of learning, where he devoted himself to the art for a number of years, and finally succeeded in introducing valuable improvements. In 1902, at the age of 35, Fujii obtained his first patent from the Imperial Government. In 1909 he was granted his second patent. His damascene work, being made mostly from designs drawn by Prof. Bisei Unno of the Tokyo Fine Art School, well met the taste and requirements of the time.

Antique Meyer Texas Stoneware Jug 2 qt. Excuse me for calling this cute, but it is. Great size. I'm guessing at the 2qt, maybe 1 qt, definitely not a gallon, don't have time to check. 8.5" tall x 6" wide with handle, a few very small nicks on top rim. No large chips, no cracks, no restorations.Meyer Pottery Co. 1887 - 1964 Franz Schultz founded this company in 1887 with his son in law William Meyer at the Atascosa Community in Bexar County just Southwest of San Antonio. Schultz, an 1885 immigrant from Germany, was reared in a pottery-making family, and, upon his arrival in Texas, he found work in the pottery shop of William Saenger. Shortly thereafter he was joined by William Meyer, who had arrived in Texas on the same ship with Schultz. Meyer not only went to work for Saenger, but married Schultz's daughter Mary. Soon Meyer's sister Maria arrived with her potter husband Ernst Richter, who would go on to establish the Star Pottery Co. in Elmendorf. When Schultz and Meyer got word of a good clay outcropping at Atascosa to the west, they set up their own company to produce all types of utilitarian stoneware. The Meyer Pottery was one of very few Texas companies of the period who continued to rely primarily on a native clay source for their slip glaze. Rejecting the newly available commercial Bristol and Albany slips, the Meyer Co. chose, either for aesthetic or financial reasons, to dig their own slip clay from the banks of nearby Leon Creek. It is primarily this slip, unique in Texas pottery, that makes the Meyer work so recognizable. Also their shoulder-to-shoulder ring handle attachment is rare on Texas pottery. The Leon slip fires to a wide range of colors from dark brown to light mustard. Most have a greenish tint. Upon William Meyer's death in 1920, his two sons, Frank Meyer (b. 1888) and Gustav (Gus) Meyer (b. 1896) took over the family business. They continued to manufacture utilitarian vessels well into the 1940s. I know of no piece of normal production utilitarian ware with a "Meyer" mark. There is a handful of "specialty" items with marks, including advertising pieces and a type of cistern float. But it is the striking, mustard to brown to olive green "Leon Slip" glaze that is the best known Meyer signature, and this is a beautiful example of that classic look.

Catches the light as you move around.Traditional wedding pin Norway. Great coat lapel or hat pin here.From the Web: The Power of Silver In rural Norway in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, women, men and children wore some kind of silver jewelry every day. Often that silver was in the form of a brooch or slje. Some styles of slje were specific to a region, others were used across the country. Simple pins were worn daily as the only fastener on a shirt or blouse. On special occasions, Norwegians wore more silver with their bunader, festive folk costumes, such as large brooches, buttons and shoe buckles, and finger rings.Silver showed the wealth and prosperity of a family, and Norwegians also believed it cured sickness in humans and animals, improved crops, and protected against storms and evil spirits. Huldrefolk were perhaps thep rimary reason for wearing silver jewelry. Also known as underworld creatures, huldrefolk tried to strengthen their gene pool by marrying humans and stealing children. Rural Norwegians never knew when or where they would encounter a huldrefolk, so they felt it was important to wear silver jewelry daily. The metal itself was strong, and dangling ornaments added protection by reflecting evil away from the wearer. Each time jewelry was worn in churc hor was handed down to the next generation, it became even more powerful.Rites of passage, especially baptism and marriage, were common times of huldrefolk attack, because humans were vulnerable as they changed status. The time between birth and baptism was particularly dangerous for infants because they were in constant danger of being swapped with huldrefolk babies. Parents often pinned a tiny slje on the baby's clothes until baptism provided more permanent protection. Girls might get their first full-sized slje to protec tthem at confirmation.At the precise moment a woman went from being single to married, she risked being taken to the mountain by huldrefolk. Brides wore the most and the finest jewelry, including several large broches, finger rings and bridal necklaces. Women throughout Norway wore special headdresses. Brides in central Norway wore headdresses decorated with beads and dangles. In western and northern Norway, brides wore metal crowns with hanging decorations shaped ike circles, crosses, leaves and birds. the few crowns that existed in a church parish were often available for rent from the owner, usually a minister or wealthy farmer.The Norwegian immigrants often took their bunader with them to their new homes but rarely used them. The did, however, continue to use their sljer.Norwegian women quickly adopted American clothing but proudly wore a slje at the neck to show their Norwegian heritage. Sljer are no longer used for protection; in fact, most wearers today are not even aware of that function which was so important in the past. Silver is still powerful as a symbol of ethnic ancestry. anderas
