  • Pair Antique Chinese Ginger Jars Monochrome Copper Red Late Qing

    Pair Antique Chinese Ginger Jars Monochrome Copper Red Late Qing

    $2,400.00

    These 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″ diameter

    Condition: 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.

  • 2 Pairs of Wedgwood & Bentley Black Basalt Urns and Cassolette/Jars 18th Century

    2 Pairs of Wedgwood & Bentley Black Basalt Urns and Cassolette/Jars 18th Century

    $9,800.00

    This set of four black basalt masterpieces, made by Wedgwood & Bentley at their Etruria works around 1775, represents the height of 18th-century English neoclassical design.
    Each piece demonstrates the partnership’s unmatched command of proportion, sculptural relief, and material refinement.
    The two larger vases are sculpted in high relief with a lively frieze of bacchanalian boys—a classical theme evoking festivity and freedom from convention.
    Their cylindrical bodies rise from square bases, framed by elegant scroll handles and finished with domed lids topped by grooved finials.
    The precision of modeling and the depth of the relief are hallmarks of Wedgwood & Bentley’s finest work.
    The smaller pair, designed as cassolettes (both jars and candle holders), exemplifies versatility.
    The domed covers of the jars can be inverted to serve as candle holders, showcasing a practical and decorative innovation of the period.
    Smooth ovoid bodies taper gracefully to square bases, while rope-twist handles and draped garlands add a delicate rhythm to the otherwise restrained forms.
    A band of crisp fluting encircles each shoulder, unifying the set through architectural harmony.
    All four pieces are executed in Wedgwood’s black basalt—a dense, fine-grained stoneware polished to a subtle sheen.
    Its velvety surface captures light with quiet depth, enhancing the relief’s sculptural clarity.
    This “black Egyptian ware,” as Josiah Wedgwood described it, was among his proudest inventions. In a letter to Bentley, Wedgwood said, “The Black is sterling and will last forever.”
    Marked WEDGWOOD & BENTLEY ETRURIA (used 1769–1780), the group embodies the intellectual elegance and disciplined artistry that defined the early neoclassical movement in English ceramics.

    Larger vases: 11.5″ tall × 5.25″ across handles × 3.25″ square base

    Rising to more than eighteen inches, the vase has a sculptural silhouette that moves gracefully from its octagonal base to the rounded body, slender neck, and round upper section, ending in a flared notched rim.
    The decoration is richly painted with songbirds among flowering branches, with small blossoms scattered throughout to create a light mille-fleurs effect.
    The clarity of the cobalt blue, the confident brushwork, and the interplay of large and small motifs give the vase a lively visual rhythm.
    Around the shoulders, a band of lappets articulates the change in contour, while a ring of stiff leaves encircles the neck, adding definition and upward movement.
    The tin-glazed surface has a soft sheen typical of fine Delftware, and the underside shows rough marks where the vase was pried from the kiln floor after firing, an authentic detail of 18th-century production.

  • Pair Blue and White Porcelain Vases Royal Worcester Circa 1870

    Pair Blue and White Porcelain Vases Royal Worcester Circa 1870

    $2,800.00

    This 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

    $400.00

    This 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.
    Surviving examples in this state are increasingly uncommon.
    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.

    Pair Antique Blue and White Dutch Delft Vases with Marks 1705-1716

    $3,300.00

    This elegant marked pair of Dutch Delft vases dates from the early 18th century.
    It was hand-painted between 1705 and 1716 at De Drie Posteleyne Astonne workshop.
    A similar pair can be found in the Philadelphia Museum’s Bradbury Bedell Memorial Collection 1921-3-159, 160.
    The vases are beautifully hand-painted and feature cobalt blue decoration in the early to mid-18th-century “Thousand Flowers” style.
    Each vase depicts a lovely garden scene with a long-tailed songbird surrounded by flowers, leaves, and scrolling vines.
    The decoration around each base consists of ornamental panels alternating with a floral motif.
    Fine blue lines encircle and define the five sections of each vase.
    The design is lively, and the painting is beautifully done.
    The quality of the glaze is exceptional.

    Condition: Excellent
    Marks: PK for Pieter Kam at the De Drie Posteleyne Astonne workshop marks (see the mark in the last image).
    1. Form of the Mark
    The tall vertical stroke with a small angled “K” is a known PK variant, similar to the “PK 7” and “PK 8” marks on Delftware from about 1700–1710. Its slightly uneven brushwork is consistent with authentic early Delft.
    2. Attribution
    Both Pieter Gerritsz Kam (active c.1700–1705) and his widow Maria van der Kloot (c.1705–1716) used PK. The mark places it firmly in the Kam workshop.
    3. Comparison with the Philadelphia Museum of Art
    The Philadelphia Museum’s Bradbury Bedell Collection includes jars with nearly identical PK marks. Like our pair, they are octagonal vases with blue-and-white decoration, confirming a close link to the Kam workshop’s recognized output.

    While modest in scale, their shape and presence have sometimes led similar pieces to be described as “temple jars” in the decorative arts trade.
    The invention of famille rose enamels in the early 18th century enabled a broader, more nuanced color palette, and this pair showcases the style at its most expressive. The floral compositions are exuberant yet refined, painted with a sensitivity to balance and movement.
    These jars represent Chinese export porcelain at its finest, appealing equally to collectors and decorators.
