We found this item in an estate that we purchased. We bought a whole house full of antiques and this was in it. It is a very nice item. We were told that it dates back to the late 1800s.
We were told that the painting was painted in Italy (he purchased and imported the painting from Italy). However the signature seems like an Asian name. If this is true, then it seemed like a very unusual painting from an Asian artist.
these are a japanese king and queen, made of porcelain. White with pink and tan, with gold accents throughout. The heads are weighted like a pendulum on a clock, so they rock back and forth for long periods of time, because they are perfectly weighted. I am looking for ANY information about them, where they were made, how old they are, etc. I would like to sell them once I find out what they are and what they are worth. If you need more pictures or more angles, let me know. thanks!!!
Set of 4 Royal Crown Myott's Staffordshire England small teacups and saucers. With a painting of pink flowers on a tree. There is no date. There are no cracks in either the teacups or the saucers. There is a stamping on the bottom that has a crown and then encircled is the word Myotts and Royal Crown is stamped in the encircling of this word.
On the label it says the company was est.1839. 39 Chapel st Newton, Mass. With some research we found out that Mr. John A Dunn passed away in 1902. Any Information you could provide us would be helpful.
