Antique Questions Forum / Triumph china ?? Can anyone help on the manufacturer ?

« on: December 09, 2014, 05:00:38 pm »

I have looked for this mark online but it is not an easy one. It so happens that another person in het Netherlands owns a butter dish with the same print  which I found online. She also does not know where it comes from ...

I am curious if anyone ever heard of Triumph china/pottery...

http://www.laviebrocante.nl/frans-belgisch-servies/   note the 16th item in the list is the butter dish. I have uploaded my photo's
My pitcher is 20 cm high and approx, 22 cm wide.

Yes, this is mine. I bought it and I was told that the lady received it from her mother about 30 years ago. History before that is unknown and it does not seem to have any marks...
But the pattern is strange as if someone has drawn a line and there are different pictures on each side of it..

I was wondering if anyone could help me with my pitcher's pattern as it seems incorrect. It has unfinished lakes and unfinished trees just as if someone used wallpaper on it and did not pay attention to the pattern matching.

The bowl of this (unmarked) pitcher set seems to have the proper pattern. Do I just have a mismatch that left the manufacturer or is something else causing this ?

Thank you for your suggestion Cogar !
The way the bird wings are this could very well be the case.

Thank you for looking into the matter.
I don't have it in my hands at the moment but from my recollection no sign of any previous lid attachments were visible. I will check again tonight
I will upload the photo of the enlarged bird.
I consider it a swan although I later thought that a goose is also feasible.

While looking for the porcelain mark I think perhaps it is possible to assume that my "Tulipe" is from the same timeframe as the "Fleury"
http://www.infofaience.com/en/sarreguemines-marks

One could hope that the Fleury would be replaced by a different name for any different design.
The Tulipe mark does not have the additions U C or the addition FRANCE similar to the "Fleury"

This would make it antique.

The size is 11.5 cm high and 22 cm wide.
The bottom, the back and the top view have been uploaded now here as well.
I don't see any marks on it.

Thank you for your response so far.

Thank you both for the input. Using the term "pitcher" or "Pichet" in search functions may improve the results. I already found a lookalike on Pinterest with rose...

Antique Questions Forum / Letter holder silver ( plated)

« on: October 18, 2014, 04:05:43 pm »

Dear All,

Last week I have purchased this interesting object which I believe to be a letter holder.
It is kind of heavy so I imagined it woud be silver or silver plated. I treated the letter holder this way and indeed the item did improve.
What puzzles me most is that it does not have any silver mark and that it has a "coat of arms" which does not tell me a whole lot.
It seems to contain a lion and the top may be a swan or a goose.

Anyone that could shine a light on this ? I purchased this in The Netherlands but as it may come from anywhere in the world it seems I am looking for the needle in the haystack.... I have uploaded the photo as well as the enlarged coat of arms...

I appreciate any time you may take to respond to my question.

Warmest regards,

Also looks similar however when I follow the link it is no longer on Ebay :-(

Perhaps it is crucial that the mark mentioned for 1880-1922 is without the "Passiflore" design name ?

Any information on this design is much appreciated !!

Dear All,

I have recently bought a small bowl  ( 18.5 cm) manufactured by Keller & Guerin, Luneville France and I am trying to locate the porcellain mark. While doing that I came accross a site that showed what seemed the correct mark however stating it would originate from this period : 1880-1922. If that would be true my bowl is in excellent shape so I think I am missing something. Is there anyone on this forum that has more knowledge on this French design ?
