This is an stunning vintage Japanese vase from an estate.. The vase is done in a beautiful deep cobalt blue glaze with raised moriage decoration. It has foo dog handle like decorations on the side. It is marked on the base with the Japanese numeral 3 (Pinyin: san) and numeral 5 (Pinyin: wu). The vase is of nice size measuring approx. 9-1/2" tall, 5" across the rim. The vase is in very nice condition with no chips, cracks, chiggers or repairs. The moriage is fully intact. The gold handpainted gilting along the edge of the rim has pretty much worn away from use. Take a look at the pictures below. Its a beautiful vase that would be a gorgeous addition to any oriental decor or collection. | ||

Large unique antique vase 17" in
height. 6-3/4" across the rim. Excellant
condition no damage or repairs. There are a
few pin sized glaze pops.
Unmarked. I'm doing some research now to
identify this unique glazing. For some reason
I'm thinking European or possibly Asian
origins. Looks quite impressive on
display. Size allows it to be used for an
umbrella or cane holder in an entry way. |

Fabulous vintage mid-century modern Duck bowl, candle holder,candy dish. Heavy art pottery. Marked on the bottom 3439, Bo Fajans Sweden, which was the mark of the famous Swedish company BOBERGS FAJANSFABRIK. Designed by Maggi Wibom. White glaze with hand-painted blue center and details on the duck. Special technique was done with the glaze giving it the appearance of blue crazed lines overall. It is in excellant condition with no chips, cracks, chiggers or repairs. It measures 8" across and 2-3/8" tall on the bowl part and 4" tall overall. Bo Fajans closed down back in 1967 and pieces are getting hard to find here in the states and such a unique piece by Maggi Wibom is even harder to come across. A fantastic piece to add to your collection or decor. |

Outstanding vintage mid-century modern large tray like ashtray. Abstact, impresstionist, hand painted under glaze, a five legged Lion, (my best guess) with brown background and symbolized raindrops. On the back, impressed mark, best I can make out is, = Nok, P.T. Tap, a line (see picture below) Painted mark underglaze = 1x/125-A. Heavy ceramic, nice size, measuring 9-1/4" x 9-1/8" x 1", and works well as a catch all tray for the entryway or dresser. My guess is it has Italian origins. I was not able to determine the designer or studio from the marks. It does have some signs of age that are common in vintage ceramics of this nature, but it still looks great on display and would work well in a mid-century modern decor. There is no major damage like cracks or repairs. The artwork is still vivid and nice. There is some crazing on the heavy enameled white area, some small flakes and rubs along the outer edge and on the raised rim on the base. | ||

c. 1909-23 vase. Executed by St Lukas, Utrecht. Unique glaze. Mirrored, metalic glass like appearance, simular to a blue luster glaze, but it is really much more that that. 4-3/8" tall. 5" across, 3-3/8" across the rim. Marked on the bottom 107 St. Lukas Utrecht, K, Made in Holland. Pictures do not do this unique glaze justice. Vase is in nice conditon overall. There is a few tiny speckles where the glaze is worn, and there is a chip/flake to the edge of the rim. | ||

I had a friend that specializes in pottery take a look at this and his best guess was that it was Fulper, and produced in 1909-1916. Whoever made it, it is old and quite a remarkable piece of art pottery in a seldom found form to add to a collection. Click on the pic. from more images. | $449.00 Questions |

CHINESE
BLUE FLUPER STYLE FLAMBE VASE!
This vase is simular to the Brush McCoy Onyx glaze vase above. But I don't believe it was made by the Brush company because it is different in several ways The glaze is more of a flambe being heavier then the onyx. The bottom of the vase is covered in the black glaze, rather heavily. The rim is thin unlike the flat lip that the Brush pieces have. The glaze drips into the interior, and it has a wider mouth then any of the Brush vases in their onyx line too. There is no markings that I can see. Fulper? It is in very nice condition. No chips, cracks or repairs. There is a small glaze flake on the rim. Normal age crazing to the glaze. 6-1/2" tall and 3" opening. |
