Pair Antique Chinese Ginger Jars Monochrome Copper Red Late Qing
$2,400.00These two ginger jars exemplify the quiet strength of Chinese monochrome copper-red ware.
Each has a rounded, quietly solid form that provides a broad, uninterrupted surface for the glaze.
The color moves over each jar in one continuous sweep, allowing the deep monochrome red to register with clarity and presence.
Though different in height and proportion, the jars complement one another through their simple silhouettes and the concentrated intensity of their single-color glaze.
On the taller jar, the body tapers gently toward the base, allowing the copper-red glaze to flow evenly along its length.
The shorter jar has a more compact, full form, giving the monochrome surface a denser, slightly more luminous quality.
In both pieces, the glaze shifts in tone as it moves down the vessel, pooling into warmer cherry red near the shoulders and settling into deeper shades toward the foot.
These variations are natural expressions of copper oxide’s unpredictable behavior in the kiln.
Made in southern Chinese kilns during the late Qing period, the jars are formed of high-fired ceramic typical of utilitarian wares of the time.
Their surfaces reflect the mottled characteristics produced by traditional reduction firing.
Copper glaze turns red only within a brief and unpredictable moment in the reduction atmosphere — a moment potters describe as “catching a sunrise in the kiln,” when the oxygen drops suddenly and the glaze blooms into red.
This fleeting transformation gives monochrome copper-red ware its famed difficulty and enduring appeal.
The bases show the expected buff clay of southern kilns, with kiln adhesions and small chips around the foot from separation after firing.
These traces confirm the jars’ origins as practical storage vessels, made with the same traditional skill that produced the period’s celebrated monochrome wares.
Dimensions:
Taller Jar: 12.5″ tall × 8″ diameter at the widest point × 6.25″ diameter at the base
Shorter Jar: 8.5″ tall × 8.5″ diameterCondition: Wear and kiln chipping around the feet, typical of utilitarian vessels; glaze surfaces with slight wear. The smaller jar with chips on the inner flange.
Decoration: Monochrome copper-red glaze with natural tonal variation
Material: High-fired ceramic (stoneware body)
Style: Chinese monochrome stoneware glaze tradition
Origin: Southern Chinese kiln
Date: Late Qing, circa 1880–1890
Copper-Red Firing Note
Copper-red glazes develop their color only inside the kiln, never before. The potter applies a pale, unremarkable copper-bearing glaze to the unfired vessel, and nothing on its surface suggests the deep red to come. The transformation occurs solely during a narrow, unpredictable moment in the reduction firing, when the kiln’s oxygen falls just enough for the copper oxides to shift. In that instant, the glaze blooms into red — a change so brief and delicate that potters describe it as catching a sunrise in the kiln. Because that moment cannot be anticipated with certainty, even small shifts in temperature, airflow, or the vessel’s placement can turn the glaze brown, black, or green. Every successful monochrome copper-red piece is therefore the result of both mastery and atmospheric chance. -

Antique French Porcelain Plate Hand Painted in England by Caroline Leigh C. 1825
$320.00The decoration on this French hard-paste porcelain plate was hand-painted in England circa 1825 by Caroline Leigh, who signed the plate’s underside.
The neoclassical design centers on a beautiful roundel showing three putti gathered around a classical tazza filled with fruit, a composition that reads as an allegory of Plenty.
The overflowing tazza is a classical symbol of prosperity, while the putti embody the lightness and delight associated with abundance.
The wide border is arranged in alternating panels of gilt arabesques and miniature scenes.
Each scene is animated with putti engaged in lively mythic or symbolic activities — shooting arrows, gathering coral, riding fantastical sea creatures, or carrying emblems of abundance.
These designs reflect the imaginative vocabulary favored by English decorators of the early 19th century, many of whom were women working at home.
This cottage industry specialized in embellishing high-quality French porcelain blanks for the British market.
The bright lemon-yellow grounds, scrolling gilded foliage, and soft pastel tints of the figures create a particularly English combination of color and narrative charm.
Leigh’s signature on the underside adds a rare personal touch, linking the piece directly to its original decorator.Dimensions: 9.25″diameter
Condition: Excellent antique condition with very slightest, minor wear to the gilding.

Pair Blue and White Porcelain Vases Royal Worcester Circa 1870
$2,800.00This pair of Royal Worcester vases captures the Aesthetic Movement’s fascination with Japanese art, expressed here through crisp blue landscapes of cranes and bamboo rendered on soft white porcelain.
Crafted in England by Royal Worcester circa 1870, the vases feature a square, architectural form, enlivened by raised blue decoration that adds depth to the painted scenes.
Each vase shows a crane poised beneath bamboo or flowering branches, a serene world shaped in the spirit of Japonism.
At the shoulders, expressive lion-dog masks feature bold ring handles.
The vases rise from deep blue, pierced-style feet that anchor the composition with elegance.
Cranes have long symbolized happiness and renewal.
In ancient Greece and Rome, the crane dance was associated with vitality and the joy of life, while across Asia the bird symbolized harmony and enduring youth.
This shared cultural reverence makes the imagery especially fitting for Aesthetic Movement design, where beauty, nature, and refined symbolism converged.
Background of the Aesthetic Movement: The Aesthetic Movement was a late-nineteenth-century artistic philosophy advocating pure beauty and “art for art’s sake.” Designers emphasized the visual and sensual qualities of objects, favoring refined forms, exquisite craftsmanship, and motifs drawn from nature and global artistic traditions over narrative or moral themes.Dimensions: 11.5″ tall × 4″ across shoulders × 3″ mouth diameter × 3.5″ base

Pair Small Antique English Porcelain Vases Hand Painted Fruit & Gilt Decoration
$400.00This pair of English porcelain spill vases, hand-painted circa 1840, shows the charm and refinement of mid-19th-century decorative wares, where ornamental brilliance and practical form came together with effortless confidence.
Each vase rises in a flared shape that recalls classical urns, yet the scale is intimate enough for a mantel or writing table.
The bodies are painted in warm tones and enriched with hand-painted fruit reserves framed by deep cobalt roundels.
The colors remain vivid after nearly two centuries, the peaches, grapes, cherries, and foliage rendered with the soft luminosity characteristic of English enamel painting of this era.
Gilded scroll handles complete the silhouette, their bright surface catching the light and adding visual rhythm to the compact form.
The reverse side of each vase offers a quieter presentation with scrolling gilt arabesques on a cream ground, a thoughtful contrast that allows the pair to be enjoyed from any angle.
The interplay between rich gold, soft ground color, and the lively fruit panels creates a pleasing harmony that reflects the mid-Victorian taste for decoration that was both cheerful and refined.
Their excellent condition is notable, as the pair survives without restoration, chips, or losses to the gilding.
Pieces of this type were often used for spills—small rolls of paper or wood slivers used to transfer flame.

At just over four inches in height, they offer immediate decorative impact without overwhelming a space.
The vases present beautifully as mantel garnitures, on open shelving, or among a larger group of 19th-century English porcelain.Dimensions: 4.5″ tall x 3.75″ diameter across the top x 2.5″ diameter at base.

One of the plates from this set is featured in The Dictionary of Worcester Porcelain, Volume I, 1751–1851, by John Sandon (see color plate 76, page 300).

The seaweed background on these five plates closely matches that description, suggesting they are the work of Barker himself.
