Yes am in Uk, but I appreciate looking for the american stuff as like I say, It has to me a mark that one could reference as Mayan or Aztec even. Of course that would not add up with the wares being as they are, but perhaps the Southern states or even Canada might go for a studio mark like this.
I dont know mate, its just a mystery, you would think that such a distinctive mark could be found, but it is so hard to search on. I think it is one of those (oft occuring) occasions where a stack of good refernce books may be better than the internet

Hey thanks for having a look, My Mum got them at a second hand store, what do you think the mark looks like? They are good quality, the sahoe of the jug is a lovely unusual style with the widened base, and the finish on the beaker is a nice striping effect, I would really love to fin out about this maker, Its a hell of a one to research though, I fancy selling them but also if I get teh maker then I might start a little collection as the work is great. - Well so far my collection surmises 2 pieces and may stay that way as havent found any others haha,

Hi guys, I have a nice beaker and Jug here, they seem a few years old like., the beaker / (vase if you like) has some crazing inside and out, the jug less so.
the interesting thing is the mark, minute i saw it i thought 'owl' . but now I am thinking this is like a native american mark.. like on a totem?? Or central american? Anyone any ideas? It seems a strange juxtaposition with the actual Wares themselves though.
Cheers ears.

hey thanks, I got info that says it is 'cursive' japanese or chinese characters, like when we use joined up handwriting, a translation has been offered using the words Masaaki Takashi constant kiln - which would be apt i suppose. It had to be rotated through 90 anticlockwise to read like that. Am interested to see what the image is, its very nicely painted, very arty, looks like a heron?

Antique Questions Forum / Eastern / art nouveau ??
« on: March 06, 2012, 02:25:02 pm »
This one is interesting, a lovely signature but it is so stylised that is hard to garner a name from it! The motif on the vase is for me art nouveau, but I do not think the vase is as old as that, or it is in very good condition if that is the case, The signature is also styled after art nouveau in my opinion, it looks like an ironwork railing by gaudi or something!
Can anybody get a name from the jumble? i literally cannot say which way around it should go, I can see things from various orientations but have left it as is so as not to influence any ideas! Rotate to taste!
Then again perhaps somebody actually recognises it?
here is the vase, it is about 4 inches high, a nice blue and white with the white itself having a faint blueing. The painting and stokes are very elegant, i love it.

Antique Questions Forum / Pair of A.Dellaux brass enamelled vases
« on: February 20, 2012, 02:59:20 pm »
Hi all,
Anbody add some more detail on these vases? I have some info regarding the name but am interested to hear any further
background or biography detail / information on the artist plus quality of the vase?,
The flowers appear to be water lillies and there are dragonflies, I beleive it to be art deco, I have a pair of these
vases and also a set of very similar enamelled plates with a ring on the bases that servers as a stand, the plates are
unmarked but the design is almost identical, albeit a bit brighter in colour perhaps they are not as old. Or is it
posssible they all go together?
I have a pair of the vases, good quality and certainly appear aged, one of them also has a small sticker saying made in
India, which strikes me as incongrous.
the signature:
the vase itself:
A closer view of the pattern:

Antique Questions Forum / Polish vase with stars
« on: February 18, 2012, 10:51:39 am »
Hi all, could anybody help pin this one down, maker? age?
There are a variety of marks on the back and I am being led off all over in my search,for a definitive ID.
The circular stamp seems to say "Manufaktura W Boleslewcu"
The one below "Hand made in Poland H Mastuia (but the last letters maybe look like germanic/east europe and not 'i a '
Beneath that its a flowers logo with Tereza Bruck imports (thats my best guess at the name).
The vase itself seems intended for a small candle as it has the holes as shown, on both sides, it is a brighter blue
than the photo shows and the background brushstrokes are in a faint 'tiled' pattern behind the star.

That would be generic for a great deal of German pottery - you need to add those photographs

I have it suggested theat this is the mark of William Gordon of the Walton Pottery Chesterfield England, does anybody have any other images or links to the mark based on this info? It certainly fits some of the designs I have seen for the plate but i cannot get an image of the mark.
Thanks!
Thanks!
