This side table folds in half in width. It can be pushed against a wall and used for decoration or unfolded and used a two seat bistro type table or game table. The hand painting is in good shaped and really interesting to look at. This is in rough shape. The paint on the top is very scratched up. Also, the finishing on each of the lower parts of the legs has worn off.
I am looking for assistance in identifying the maker of this cup/saucer. I am finding many similar marks, but have not been able to locate this one. "Double Phoenix", NKT, and Occupied Japan are all popping up in my research, but nothing seems to be exactly the same as this.
"ironston" - misspelled on mark
Mark appears to be double phoenix picture, but does not have the words double phoenix above.
This is a part tea set described as victorian, but it has no makers marks apart from 644 on the two cake/serving plates. the tea pot is cracked and has a chip on the spout.The sugar bowl is also cracked. every thing else is in fair to good condition.
I have looked in several books and have searched online for information about the maker and the age. The shape seems to be consistent with coalport and worcester from 1800 - 1810, but this is in speculation on my part.
I have tried mailing the staffordshire museum, but only got an out of office reply that they are no longer giving appraisals. I hope you are able to give me more of an idea what I have have bought. I choose it because I love the shapes - especially the flowet finials on the tea pot and sugar bowl lid.The flowers on the design appear to be hand painted.
One table is in good condition and the other table needs repaired but all there. Also the hardware on the one draw is not original. These tables have not been referbished.. I priced a set like mine on ebay for $599.99 referbished. I'm asking $374.99 obo Email me at [email protected] Put end tables in the subject line. Than you! Ron
