Antique 18th Century Dutch Delft or Samadet Green Faience Barber's Bowl
By Delft
Located in Bad Säckingen, DE
This exquisite 18th-century Dutch Delft or Samadet faience barber's bowl showcases a classic lobed shape with a notched rim, traditionally designed for shaving use. The piece is hand-painted in vibrant green with a central floral motif surrounded by delicate foliate designs, accentuated by a decorative border along the scalloped edge. The tin-glazed ceramic surface exhibits the characteristic craquelure and slight imperfections typical of early Delftware.
Originally used in barbershops for lathering and rinsing during shaves, this historical faience bowl is now a highly collectible decorative object, perfect for display in a Delftware collection or as a charming accent in a period interior.
A remarkable example of Dutch craftsmanship, this piece captures the elegance and functionality of antique Delftware.

Monumental Amphora Art Nouveau Vase w/Saurian by Eduard Stellmacher & Co.
Located in Chicago, US
Model #2
Eduard Stellmacher and Co, Porzellanfabrik und Kunstkeramische Industriewerke
Driven to establish a new company that produced luxury porcelain and ceramic items based on his own aesthetic aspirations, Stellmacher left Amphora when the workshop was at its most prosperous, in 1904. Together with entrepreneur Karl Frank, who provided the financial backing, he founded Ed. Stellmacher & Co. in Turn-Teplitz in 1905.
From the outset, Stellmacher worked hard to achieve a major position among other high-end ceramic art producers. He believed the success of the company would depend on his products of “appropriate methods and unerring quality, perfect from both the technical and artistic sides”. Stellmacher based his first collection on artistically progressive products, pieces he believed would be in high demand. The greater part of the designs were either large vases complemented with sculptures of fantastic dragons or natural animals. With this series, Stellmacher continued the themes he had created for Amphora from 1899-1902, however, his naturalistic renderings of animals was even more elaborately precise. He developed a special ceramic material called refined earthenware, which minimized the shrinkage that was common during firing and allowed for greater preservation of details in the original models.
Unfortunately, by 1905, contrary to Stellmacher’s plans, there was little to no demand for objects of this type. Very few pieces exist today as very few were originally produced. Even after redirecting the company to produce commercial goods Stellmacher still could not ward off the company’s demise. By 1910 the Stellmacher & Co. fell into bankruptcy and was liquidated.
