A rare and wonderful find. This is a matching set of six 8-3/4" Chinese porcelain blue and white plates from the late Kangxi period (1662-1722). These Kang Hsi plates have a beautiful panelled decoration with blossoms and flowers, with a cricket on all but one. The porcelain is quite fine and it has the expected glaze dimples and the occasional bit of frit. Each has a design on the underside of the rim and each has an unusual circled lotus flower mark on the base of the plate. This scarce matching set of six is in very good original condition with the following condition notes: one is excellent without damage, one two tiny rim abrasions and one edge flake (1/8"), one hairline crack from rim to edge of center and two small edge flakes, one moderate foot-rim chips, one 1/8" rim chip and light footrim chips, one very slight foot-rim chips. There is no staining or crazing, and each has very, very slight cutmarks not affecting the design. Surface shipping starts at $25 (to the US - other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $85 if paid with a credit card. Items paid with a credit card will be shipped to confirmed addresses only. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US. NOTE: we DO NOT accept PayPal.

$195 pair

A great pair of rectangular glass 1920s gentleman's after-shave or cologne and talc bottles with Chinese hand made and enamelled brass caps and bases. The bottles (which were made in the US) are clear glass with ribbed shoulders and they are marked U.S.A. 4 J.B.W. Co. 9 5 OZ. 2 and they measure 3" x 1-3/4" and they stand 4-1/4" tall. The fitted removable pierced brass bases have lovely enamelling over brass flowers and plants, in pleasing shades of purple, green, blue and aqua. The lids are similarly enamelled. The lids don't have liners and may have had cork, and the bottles have a small opening for dispensing a splash of after-shave or talc. They are unsigned, and they are even engraved on the bottom. They were owned by an American officer who served in China in the 1920s. This great pair is in excellent condition, with no cracks, chips, dents, corrosion or damage other than some slight losses and minor cracking to areas of the enamel (slight, and apparent only under close observation), and the loss of most of the original gilding which was over the brass. Shipping starts at $8 (to the US - other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $100 if paid with a credit card. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US.
