The statuette is 13 inches tall, and has a melancholy air about it’s body language. The head and face are turned to the statuette’s right, and is facing downward with a pensive expression. There do not appear to be any mold marks that would indicate this is a reproduction. The ceramic material appears to be bisque porcelain, and the figure does not have any sheen to its paint.
The figure is designed in 15th century dress. It bears a burgundy cape, white blouse, a white plumed collar, mint green waistcoat, red and yellow balloon breaches and burgundy pants over white stockings. The shoes are also fitting of the 15th century, and are black with a buckle across the top of the shoe.
The figure is standing on a pedestal with green, yellow and brown grass carved into it, and it bears a clear stamp upon the pedestal which reads “Baury”. The underside of the pedestal is marked with numbers that read either “71/14”, or “7/1/4” but it is unclear. There is also what appears to be either a “26” or a “95” carved in next to it. In red ink the numbers “208” have been marked clearly above the carved markings below.
It is uncertain if this piece is one of a kind, or if it is the last of a series that no longer exists.
Would love to have an idea of who this fancy fellow is and if he is actually antique or worth anything. Thank you.
Looking to get more information on this antique Waltham pocketwatch. I already know it's a Grade 210 7 jewels size 12s. Based on the markings on the pictures, I'd like to know what material is the cases made of? Also what do you call the gold designs on the face? Thanks
This item belonged to my late friend who traveled to Nepal, India, Tibet in the early 1970's, but I do not know where it is purchased. I have been told it is hand embroidered with silk thread. This measures 28" x 29". It is very good condition, with a few small stains, very few loose threads, and unfinished edges. I would appreciate if anyone could give me any advice regarding the age of the piece, along with an estimate of value.
Thank you!
Hi,
I’ve inherited a collection from my grandmother. I have the details from the bottom of the plate, I know it’s a
JAMES KENT LTO,
LONGTON
MADE IN ENGLAND
Sandringham"
I’d like to know which exact plate this is, details and worth as looking to sell.
a small decorative box with intricate enamel designs. The box features a portrait of a person with a beard and helmet on the lid, along with ornate patterns. The base of the box has an inscription that reads "E. Balon Blois," which likely refers to the artisan or the place where it was made.
E. Balon is a known French porcelain artist from the 19th century, and Blois is a city in France known for its fine porcelain work. This item could potentially be a piece of antique porcelain, possibly from the late 19th to early 20th century.
