This piece caught my eye at my local thrift store. At $3.99 I picked it up.
It’s stamped 5129? Maybe 5120 Germany. It’s about 7 1/2” tall. I believe it’s Goeble but I really don’t know how to confirm that or its age possible value.
Looking forward to learning about it.
I’m trying to identify the the blue monogram mark on this small hand-painted porcelain snuff/trinket box. It measures about 7 × 6 × 3 cm
I found another box online with what appears to be the same mark, so I suspect it may be a factory or decorating workshop mark.
Does anyone recognize it, or have an idea of the likely origin and date? I have an old porcelain marks book, but I can't find it there. To me, the mark looks like two crossed sabres, and between them the letters MAP, MR? I am also uploading the mark of the box I found online because the letters look clearer than the ones in my box.
Hi, I found these today cleaning out some of my grandmothers things. Markings on back say "Italy" and "Made in Italy." Similar ones seem expensive but look more handmade. Does anyone have any info on them or idea of their value? Anything appreciated. Thanks!
Does anyone know if the porcelain fragment pictured here is anything special? I think it’s cool that the head is pictured and it looks like it might be old
A client needs replacements and I am convinced these are vintage and custom painted. I cannot find them anywhere. Please help
I picked up this vase the other day at Goodwill without knowing what it was (because they intentionally place the price sticker over identifying marks, which makes me irate, but I digress). Thankfully the mark very clearly indicates that it is the “Mosaic Panel” made by Booths Silicon China in England c. 1900-1920(?), but I haven’t been able to find any information on this specific piece. I’ve found dinnerware, tea ware, rounded vases, inkstands, urns, and even a vase in a similar shape but without the ridges running down the piece. It seems odd that I can’t find a match for this piece when the pattern overall seems very well documented. Am I just a poor researcher or is this a knockoff?
Hallo, kann wer dieses polnische Kaffee-Set identifizieren und mir eventuell einen Wert nennen?
Vielen Dank 😀
Thought I’d share this piece from my collection! This is Snegurochka (the Snow Maiden from Slavic fairytale lore), produced at the Polonsky Factory of Artistic Ceramics (Polonne ZHK) in Ukraine during the Soviet era.
What I love about this particular piece is how crisp the 24k-style gold snowflake gilding on her coat stayed over the decades—usually on these older Soviet porcelains, the gilt wears off from handling.
She has the classic blue ZHK sailboat backstamp on the bottom alongside a green '2c' mark (indicating second-grade quality control from the factory). The cobalt blue mittens and yellow braids are such a nostalgic aesthetic!
