Mid Century Staffordshire Ceramic Spaniel Mantle Dogs 1378 4 From Beswick, 1960s
By Beswick
Located in Warszawa, Mazowieckie
This set of two Staffordshire Spaniel Mantle Dogs ceramic figurines was manufactured by the English Beswick manufacture during the 1960s. The catalogue number 1378-4. The figurines are made of high-quality hand-painted ceramics. Decorated with a gold chain, medallion and a cream white robe. Usually placed on fireplaces in 19th century mansions. In Scotland, these were commonly referred to as Wally dugs. The Staffordshire spaniel was the quintessential Victorian bourgeois ornament and a status symbol. No fireplace was complete without a pair of spaniels standing guard. Staffordshire dogs are now collector's objects. The quality of modeling and painting the figures may vary. Many copies have been produced, but originals in good condition and in the right pairs are now rare. Victorian tales describe the usefulness of placing Staffordshire spaniel figures on window sills. One story tells that a woman may have placed figures on her front window. If the spaniels were facing away from each other, her husband was at home. If he was far away, the dogs would face each other. As her lover walked past the house, he would have known if it was safe to visit her without her husband knowing.

Signed Kinkozan 金光山
From our Japanese collection, we are delighted to offer this Japanese Satsuma Vase by Kinkozan. The vase is potted in globular form with a tightly pinched neck and rolled top rim beautifully decorated with four highly detailed individual panelled scenes. The first a Geisha baring a gilt basket with her child playing with a fan infant of a gilt fence encompassing blossoming foliage and bamboo plants. The second scene depicts two birds, a Red Headed Japanese Wood Pigeon and a white dove in the foreground with a similar gilt fence with blossoming kiku flowers (chrysanthemums). The third scene is painted as a bustling village community with multiple figures going about their daily jobs, a central Palanquins can be seen with two figures carrying a seating figure.

Orchies Ceramics Factory Pair Of French Art Deco Ceramic Vases
By Orchies
Located in Prato, Tuscany
We kindly invite you to read the entire description, as we provide detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our objects.
These stunning vases display clear Art Deco influences, evident in the geometric lines and squared, decorative handles adorned with elegant gilding. The tapered, symmetrical shape is typical of the 1920s and 1930s when Art Deco was at its peak. The predominant color is a deep cobalt blue, characteristic of high-quality ceramic production from that era, associated with a refined decorative style. The gilded handles create a striking and luxurious visual contrast with the rest of the design. The geometric gilded handles, distinctive in their elegance, reflect neoclassical influences reinterpreted through the lens of Art Deco. The decorative details on the handles were applied by hand, a hallmark of fine ceramic craftsmanship. The ceramic used is glazed earthenware. The glossy finish suggests the use of vitreous glazes, applied to achieve a shiny, even surface. The gilding on the handles may have been done using the ceramic lustre technique, where gold is applied at a low temperature after an initial firing, resulting in a durable, shiny finish. The vases date to the period between 1925 and 1930, as indicated by the stamps on the bottom. The Orchies pottery factory was one of the leading French manufacturers specializing in ceramics, located in Orchies, in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region. Founded in 1886 by Désiré Leroy, the company quickly gained a reputation for the quality of its products and its distinctive trademark, often featuring the silhouette of a windmill, a typical symbol of that region of France. Initially focused on decorative ceramics and household items, the factory later expanded by merging with other local manufacturers, broadening its range of products. A key figure in the company's growth was Jules Auguste Hamin, who helped drive its expansion and brand development. Orchies products were renowned for their craftsmanship and the high quality of materials used. The ceramics were produced using a variety of techniques, including terracotta and glazed stoneware. Orchies excelled in the creation of decorative vases, tableware, pitchers, and other ornamental objects. Bright colors and glossy finishes were characteristic of many of their works, which blended elements of local tradition with Art Nouveau influences. During its golden age, Orchies not only dominated the French market but also exported its ceramics to several European countries and beyond. Its quality craftsmanship and refined design made its products highly valued by both the general public and collectors of art ceramics. The Orchies factory played a major role in the French ceramic industry from the late 19th to the early 20th century, contributing significantly to the development of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais ceramic tradition. However, like many factories of the time, Orchies faced increasing industrial competition and the economic crises of the 20th century, ultimately ceasing operations in the mid-1900s. Today, Orchies ceramics are highly sought after by collectors for their beauty and rarity. The windmill silhouette, imprinted on many of their pieces, remains a distinctive mark of quality and elegance. This pair of vases is a beautiful example of French Art Deco ceramics...
