Curious About This Ceramic Vessel – Insights Welcome!

Category
General Antiques and Collectibles
Condition
Mint
Description

Hey everyone! I recently came across this beautiful ceramic piece and would love to learn more about it.

What is it? I’m guessing it’s a handmade ceramic vessel or pot.

Where could it be from? Any thoughts on its cultural origin or style?

How old might it be? It looks vintage, maybe even antique?

Why might it be significant? Does it hold any traditional or historical importance?

If you recognize the patterns, materials, or techniques—or just have a hunch—I’d be grateful for any info you can share. 🙏

Thanks in advance for helping me uncover its story!

Mahogany Round Pedestal Drum Side Table

Category
European Furniture
Condition
Good
Description

"Hi everyone, Anthony joining the group! I'm a collector with a few years under my belt, focusing on decor, vintage, antiques, and ethnic/aboriginal items, along with a general admiration for all things art and culture. I'm excited to finally connect with fellow enthusiasts and hopefully get some help with a challenging identification.

I'm currently trying to pinpoint the exact date and style of this Mahogany Round Pedestal Drum Side Table. Based on my research, I'm leaning towards 1833, but I'm open to the possibility of 1933. Any insights or knowledge from those with more experience would be incredibly valuable.

Here are the item's specifics:

  • Type: End Table, Side Table, Drum Table
  • Material: Mahogany, Leather
  • Style/Period: (Seeking your input!)
  • Original/Reproduction: Original
  • Color: Brown
  • Shape: Round
  • Features: Single Drawer, Pedestal Base, Tripod Base, Claw Feet, Leather Surface
  • Country/Region of Origin: (Uncertain)
  • Dimensions: Height: 27 inches (68.5 cm), Width: 25.5 inches (64.7 cm)

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can offer!"

Cast Iron Mechanical Pig in High Chair Bank

Category
Antique Toys
Condition
Excellent
Description

This is a cast iron mechanical bank depicting a pig in a high chair.  You place a coin on the dish it is holding and press a lever in the back which tips the dish up so the coin goes into its mouth.  There is a metal disk in the bottom that lets you get the money out.  On the bottom it is stamped that it was patented in August 1897.  I Googled a description and got a web page from Bargain John Antiques in Nebraska where a duplicate item had sold for $1700, but he is not interested in purchasing this. 

This piece was in a closet among the belongings of my partner, who has died and I am heir and executor of his estate.  It was put away throughout the years I knew him so I had not seen it before and there's no story of where or how he got it, presumably from his grandmother who died in her 90s many decades ago.  

I live in a very small house - a lifestyle choice - and would like to see this sold to someone who will give it a place of enjoyment and respect.
