Woodland Wonders: A Fine Pair of Ralph Wood-Type Stag and Hind Figures Late 18th Century This charming pair of late 18th-century pearlware pottery figures represents a classic example of the Staffordshire animal models that became highly fashionable during the reign of George III. The set features a stag and a doe, both depicted in recumbent, naturalistic poses atop verdant, rocky mounds after a model by John Voyez. The bases are meticulously decorated with applied shredded clay to simulate the texture of moss or undergrowth, a technique that adds a tactile dimension to the artisanal quality of the pieces. Both figures are finished with the soft, translucent colored glazes characteristic of the Ralph Wood family, with warm ochre and manganese tones highlighting the form of the animals against the vibrant green of the grass. The stag is particularly striking with his dark, multi-pointed antlers and alert expression, while the doe is modeled with a gentle, turned head that suggests a moment of quiet repose in the English countryside. The use of lead glazes in this manner allows the earthenware body to shine through, creating a luminous and sophisticated aesthetic that was a significant advancement in pottery decoration during this period. These figures were likely intended for display on a mantlepiece or in a dining room cabinet, bringing a touch of the picturesque landscape into the Georgian home. Dimensions Stag: 6 1/2 inches (16.51 cm) high, 6 1/4 inches (15.88 cm) wide, 3 inches (7.62 cm) deep Hind: 5 1/4 inches (13.34 cm) high, 6 1/10 inches (15.49 cm) wide, 3 inches (7.62 cm) deep Condition Report The figures are in good antique condition, with the glazes remaining notably clear and vibrant. There is a pinhead sized frit to the back of the each ear of the hind.

This blue and white Dutch Delft charger was hand-painted in deep cobalt blue in the 18th century, circa 1780. The central scene features a pair of birds in flight above a basket brimming with full blooms and leafy stems. The birds—elegantly rendered with wings extended—add a sense of movement and vitality to the design. The flower basket is painted with expressive brushwork, creating a beautiful and balanced composition. Surrounding the central reserve is a wide border of scrolling foliate motifs and stylized floral panels. This charger exemplifies the refined decorative tradition of 18th-century Delftware. Its tin-glazed surface enhances the depth of the blue pigment, and the expressive brushwork throughout reveals the painter's skill.

A Japanese lacquered wood fubako (a box to store document or small scroll painting) circa late 18th century of Edo period. The rectangular box features a deep lid with rounded corners and recessed mid-edge and a lower box with two bronze medallion rings and tasseled silk ties. The surface of the fubako was elaborately decorated with hiramaki-e and a low takamaki-e on a mottled Mura-nashiji background. The motifs on the lid depict branches of Japanese pine with finely rendered needles on the lower part; on the upper part, it showcases fruited persimmon branches. Two different shades of gold fundame were used to contrast the design and augmented by scattered gold kirigane to highlight some of the leaves. The design continues and cascades down to all sides of the lid as well as the walls of the box. The two bronze medallions appear original to the box and the silk ties show significant fading from the age. This Fine fubako is signed on the lower wall "Kanshosai" in Kanji with a kao mark. All the trims were finished in gold fundame and the interiors a dense nashiji in gold. Kanshosai is the mark of the distinguished lacquer artist Lizuka Toyo I who also signed his work "Toyosai". He was active in the second half of the 18th century during Edo period, employed by Hachisuka Shigeyoshi (1738-1801), daimyo of Awa on Shikoku Island. Although most survived work bearing his marks are inros, he was also known to decorated trays and other larger objects...
