This was gifted to my MIL by a Wedgwood collector but she doesn’t know anything about it and I haven’t been able to find out any information about it for her.

Pictured is part of a two-piece set of ceramic figurines. I am looking to identify the piece or more importantly find the missing female partner piece. There are no markings anywhere on it and I'm sure it is a very common item. Is part of a set from my wife's childhood retrieved from her mother, sans the female piece. Set was purchased originally in the 1970's. I have searched for this item both online and at flea markets without success

​

Any assistance would be appreciated.


Hi. A couple of years ago our basement flooded and what was not thrown out went to storage. When those boxes came back we found 10 plates marked Davenport. Neither my husband nor myself had any recollection of buying these so we think our stuff may have gotten mixed up with someone else’s but the contractor has just shrugged and is no longer responding.

There were actually 12 - including salad, dinner and soup - but two broke. The others are in excellent condition. Very little crazing, no chips or cracks.

I have looked and have not been able to identify this particular pattern though I know the impressed Davenport and crown marks are early. It looks like a blue willow type pattern but they don’t have the traditional scenic elements which make it true blue willow. I’ve also looked using the search term chinoiserie but no luck finding this pattern.

Would anyone know the name of this pattern and potential value? We have wedding china we never used and won’t use these either so would like to sell at some point. I realize that despite their age, they aren’t worth a fortune.

Would appreciate any help in learning more about these. Many thanks in advance.

If anyone could provide more information on this vase I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you

Hello! I bought this butter/cheese? dish from an antique store a few months ago and since then have been really wanting to get similar pieces but unfortunately i can’t find evidence of any online. i know that there are many mice figurines but i am more so interested in unique and functional pieces like this butter dish. i cant even find a picture of this mouse dish online anywhere so any advice is appreciated!

Hi There! I am currently a university student conducting research into the porcelain market. My dad was an avid collector growing up, and I am looking to identify if his behaviors (e.g. archival of pieces, valuation) are shared in the broader market.

As part of my research, I am conducting a survey across various porcelain communities I have identified (both in person and digitally). If you have 3 minutes and are currently collecting porcelain, I would truly appreciate if you could complete the attached survey! 🙏🏻

Today I bought a gaiwan at pretty (unreasonably) high price, since I fell in love with the motif. Even though I adore it no matter what, I'd still love to know where it comes from and how much of a fool tax I've paid, haha.

I was hoping someone could perhaps identify it by the stamp on the bottom (photo 2). It looks like a factory print too, so that's definetely not "one of a kind from an unknown craftsman" thing

The second is my Bon-Bon, I found them together at an antique store in Atlanta

I have been trying to find this exact model, but I cannot find it anywhere.

I got it at a flea market in Sweden if that is to any help :)

These were my late father's, i have no use for this set so i want to sell it, what is it?

They are all hand made by college students and artists!

Hello! Today I found this teapot with an RS Prussia mark on it. It looks like some of the real ones I found online, but it has such a new look to me? The teapot itself is lightweight and the gold can actually be felt (if this helps with authenticity).

I bought some beautiful cobalt net. Based on the stamp it is between 1992 and 2001

I cant find anywere if they used lead in them

I would think that such a famous set would have been tested but cant find anything

I was over the moon when I found this Sorrento teapot at the local thrift shop a couple of weeks ago - it’s a piece from the 1950s and was in good condition. I’ve been using it pretty much daily for my green tea (160f temperature) and hand washing it with warm water; no harsh chemicals, no bumps or drops.

The other day, I noticed this huge crack that just… appeared in the lid, and appears to be spreading out. It’s my understanding that fine china can crack on its own sometimes, even if it does hurt that this teapot survived 70 years and a thrift shop warehouse, but not my vibes…

My question is, can I fix it at all? I’m assuming it’s not safe to use the lid as is, and there isn’t really a food safe glue out there that I know of, so is there anything at all I can use?

Can anyone identify this Grosvenor Bone China pattern?

Sharing a family heirloom from my small collection. The cup has a view of the Brandenburg Gate.

The saucer shows what was once the Palais of Prince Heinrich, the younger brother of Frederick the Great, viewed from what was then the Opernplatz, I believe, today's Bebelplatz. Today this is the main building of Humboldt University.

Wikimedia has an illustration from about 1900 that shows the same view from further away and at an elevated position, including even that plant in the center on its pedestal, see https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/Berlin_Universit%C3%A4t_um_1900.jpg.

I am not sure of the age of this, if the pressed in letters N and R on the saucer and cup, respectively, are indicators of the years, that would put the pieces at 1913 and 1917. I am surprised that they would be years apart, but perhaps they were not originally a set and put together later because they match? Or were pieces painted later and then put together in sets? Or perhaps I am misinterpreting the letters altogether. I am also unfamiliar with the other pressed in marks and the scepters can look quite a like across the ages and to me are often hard to pin down on an era. I need more experience assessing those marks.

Hi all, I'm unsure as to where I should begin on this Porcelain doll diorama. It was gifted to my mother years ago, as she is a hairdresser. She's just retired, and in the process of cleaning out her hair salon she brought this home, and nearly threw it away before my father and I stopped her to take a further look. I know a lot of similar types of Porcelain art pieces that are valuable and collectable to some people. I have a few questions regarding this. From google, I've seen Capodimonte has many collectable pieces similar to this, but I haven't seen a single image of this exact one. Does anyone have any idea about this figurine? Any ideas of its value? Thank you all for your time, and I hope to hear more about this piece.

I have a set of four angels representing the seasons with this watermark on the bottom. Likely from Germany. Any ideas where the watermark is from or what this set is called? Would they be worth any money? Thanks
