Mid-Century Multi-color Dragon Encircled Snuff Bottle
Located in Lomita, CA
The hand painting and the mix of primary colors make this snuff jar attractive. The jar from the mid-20th century, showcase a captivating blend of artistic craftsmanship and cultural significance.
The snuff bottle, with its dragon motif, reflects a classic theme deeply rooted in Chinese symbolism. Dragons traditionally symbolize power, strength, and good fortune.

18th Century or Earlier Brass - Iron Bound Continental Lockbox
Located in Lomita, CA
There is a fantastical quality to this casket lockbox with its dramatic presentation. It has brass rings with lions' (or wolves) heads and a latch/escutcheon. The size and complexity of the latch suggest that it was designed to keep prying hands away. But it has a very interesting look that many people will like. The style and appearance suggest Continental origins, and appraisers say it was produced in the 18th century or earlier.

Gilt Porcelain Large Dresden Two Handled Garniture Vase and Cover
By Dresden Porcelain
Located in Lomita, CA
The porcelain factories of Dresden are renowned for this type of decorative piece and this monumental vase would have been at least one of a pair or part of a three or five piece mantle garniture at some point in its history. Alone, it is stunning. It is hand painted, but the painting is minimal when compared to other earlier examples, especially from the Meissen factory. This covered urn
was created in Germany with colorful scenes during the early 20th Century.
The covered lid surmounted by a gilt metal foliate finial, the baluster body with two scrolled gilt metal handles painted with a detailed figural setting in a salon with two couples listening to musical instruments their companions play within gilt ecru encrusted borders. Beautiful.
This type of porcelain became collectible in the 1960s and reached the height of the market in the 1990s. Since then, fashions have changed greatly, but this is still a statement piece that endures in wonderful condition. and so prices have fallen quite dramatically especially in a traditional auction. However, this is still an impressive piece, signed indistinctly, on a circular socle atop a square raised plinth base. Marked with the underglaze blue Dresden mark...
