Although this one is considerably different, here's a yelloware lamb mold for comparison:

I actually have one like this but mine has a darker interior glaze color. The one I have is pretty old probably late 1800's and I believe they still sell them in France. They are not real valuable I estimate mine 100-150 just because it is an early one. I might put this large one the big auction site and put a silly reserve on it. I just dont have much confidence right now these types of antiques are selling and its been years since I have sold anything on the internet. Im waiting replies from a few collectors that I sent pics to,maybe I will get lucky and someone will get back with some good info. This one here is large at 11 inch's long and 6 inch's high when togather and laying down. If I get some info back I will post it here.

   Been around plenty of old cars and parts and I have never taken a spark plug apart. I would leave it original. Curious what did it come out of ?

What makes me think it might be worth more then the ones simular that we have found is that it has the spongware design added. Spongware was really a hot seller a while back when things were a little better ( economy wise) Thats the stumpper for me. It is a hard piece to display and it just sits on a storage shelf so if I could find the right info to advertise it correctly I would sell. Also I have never seen another piece of pottery with the Orlice stamp. I have few pieces of pottery that I will probably never know exactly what value,when,and where they were made. I do want to say thanks to everyone here for trying though.

It came from an auction that had lots of items from germany and france. I posted it here a while back i think to find out more info and dont think no one came up with anything concrete. Now Im thinking about selling it and a few other pieces of pottery. Just dont know the best place to sell this. Maybe some new members will chime in.

Ebay ?  This old yelloware/spongeware lamb mold is really rare, I mean I have never seen one like it and it is large. I have never been able to find out an exact value on this one. I have been thinking about selling it and just do not where the best place would be. Any suggestions ?

I still have not ruled out some of my pottery is Moravian made. Theirs below. Many of my pieces came from an auction that had most of its items shipped over from Germany.
Q: Are the Moravians German?

A: Before 1722 the Moravian Church was primarily Czech, centered in the provinces of Bohemia and Moravia. After 1722, the Moravians became heavily Germanized. By the time they arrived in American in 1735, they had members from Germany, England, Ireland, Sweden, the Netherlands, and many other European countries. Even though they were an international multicultural church, in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries the official language of the Moravian Church was German.

Yep that is it. Its a treasure box for valuables/papers. I got no treasures inside mine though. It was empty when I got it. Wonder what something like this would sell for on the big auction site. Less then 50 bucks I'm guessing.

« on: November 27, 2010, 01:12:05 pm »

You have any idea what this was used for ? It looks pretty old by the hardware. It is dovetailed. Kind of reddish in color. I don't think it is american in origin and I have no idea of its age. Its around 17' long and 8 high by 11 deep. Its my mystery box.
