Antique Questions Forum / Re: kutani cat?

« on: July 22, 2007, 06:57:39 am »

"Kutani" is really a term used to describe the style of manufacture.  Kutani porcelain was made in Japan after the mid-seventeenth century. Most of the pieces found today are nineteenth-century. Collectors often use the term Kutani to refer to just the later, colorful pieces decorated with red, gold, and black pictures of warriors, animals, and birds.  http://www.kovels.com/priceguide/kovels_kutani/

On the question of "putting out the cat", sorry, can't help but it's a good story!

Have you considered the obvious?  The link IS to a Roger's piece - the description simply has a typo - described as Roget instead of Roger.

Antique Questions Forum / Peggy Davies original piece

« on: July 15, 2007, 12:49:57 pm »

I thought you might be interested to know that I own one of Peggy Davies original pieces, here in Australia.

I bought it from an antique dealer in Hobart, Tasmania, in 1992.  It is a fabulous piece, a mother cat and kitten in the one sculpture.  The kitten, in particular, is extraordinarily lifelike – captured under glass, you would think.  It is in absolutely mint condition. It is signed Janus Studio, designed and modeled by Peggy Davies. Made in England.

It also has a sticker “E A Joyce & Son  Established 1893” – this is Antique Dealer from whom the piece was purchased.

I would be interested to know more about it, if anyone knows of this piece.
