It is a lovely wooden loveseat, I was told it was an antique, but I have no idea. That is why I am here. It is still in use and still comfortable... can you tell me anything about it.
I have a beautiful old piece of pottery that I have would like to know the maker & value of. It is a very large plate or dish covered with a thick rich brown matte glaze. The front of has a white-grey glaze applied somehow with an intricate feather design carved in it! There is a carved marking on the back under the glaze of a "5 point crown or jesters hat" & the initials "CC" backwords & criss-crossed directly under the crown. It is 15" long, 8 1/2" wide, and is about 1 1/2" tall. There is about a 1/4" chip along outer rim, otherwise it is in excellent condition. I found this in an old house I was cleaning out that was full of antiques so I have no other history on it! I live in Decatur, MI USA.
My research that I did on the marking led me to the pottery co. "NIDERVILLER" from france! I learned that during the General Count Cristine period in the 1700's or so he had his pottery marked this way! I also read that the marking is often mistaken for a different pottery company. My concerns are could it possibly be "NIderviller", is it fake or reproduction, and what is the value? I am sending a few pics but have plenty more if needed. Any information or direction to someone who could help would be so greatly appreciated! Thank you very much!
This is a first limited edition release with hidden bears. The print measure 20" x 24." It was bought brand new in the early 1990's. It is in excellent condition with minor scuffs along the wooden frame. The print itself is in mint condition. This print was hand-signed and retouched with oil paint by Dennis Patrick Lewan.
