c1925 Royal Doulton Chang over Sung decorated Flambe Signed by Charles Noke<br>(1858 - 1941); Harry Nixon (1886 - 1955). Large, rare, one of a kind and<br>important. 9.75" 24.5cm tall x 6" 15cm wide.

This piece was entirely decorated with the prunus<br>chinoiserie "Sung" decoration (Iridescent branches and flowers) and flambe glaze<br>then they poured this crazy thick Chang glaze on it and just let it run.

Piatto da muro tubeline in stile Moorcroft del 1900 circa Decorato a mano con piatto Squeezebag con donna che insegue il marito con scopa. Davvero fantastico, probabilmente unico nel suo genere. Credo che il motivo per cui non è contrassegnato sia che c'è un leggero difetto nello smalto in alto a destra. Secondo me è di qualità simile a Moorcroft e se fosse Moorcroft costerebbe qualche migliaio di dollari o più a causa dell'età e dell'ottimo argomento. Nel complesso screpolature, senza crepe, scheggiature o restauri. 11,5 pollici di larghezza. Sono sicuro che sia un oggetto antico di oltre 100 anni e non è restaurato, decorato a mano, ma è tutto ciò di cui sono veramente sicuro. Potrebbe essere maiolica francese.TW198

1920's Longwy Kenilworth Studios Oval Bowl Retailed By Marshall Field. 11.25" x 8.75" no cracks, chips, or restorations, some stains on back, front is clean. This Kenilworth studio mark was used on pieces retailed by Marshall Field in the early 20th century.The Boch family, known for their great influence on the ceramic industry, founded the “Faiencerie de Longwy” in 1798 in a former convent.The production received great recognition during the First Empire: after Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte had attended the workshops, he ordered the complete tableware for the Imperial Legion of Honor. In 1835, the Faiencerie passed into the possession of the d’Huart family and became a thriving business. In the period around 1870, the heyday of the Second Empire, Orientalism came into fashion. This trend of oriental art and culture will have a big impact on the Faiencerie: the family d’Huart hires on the Italian Amédée de Carenza, director of the ceramic works Mikado. Inspired by the enamel metal works discovered in Japan, de Carenza develops an alternative in ceramics: and the first Emaux de Longwy were born.During this time, the Faiencerie retains the manufacture of tableware, and designed a number of specific designs such as flowers and bird motifs that often occur in the period between 1870 and 1918. In the 1920s, Art Deco then enters this bastion of Orientalism.The association with “Primavera” marks a fruitful period which culminated in the Decorative Arts Exhibition of 1925 in Paris. This complete renewal of forms and decorations created Longwy’s reputation in the United States and Europe during the period before the war.Longwy is the exclusive distributor of semi-industrially manufactured pottery enamel to this day. The historic stamp guarantees the authenticity of the pieces. The last decades were marked by the collaboration of contemporary artists and designers. This brought forth an amazing collection combining tradition, luxury and the beaux arts. The limited editions are sought after and coveted collectors’ items.tw244

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 glazeB35
