About the Item

A Large Goldscheider Pottery Classical Roman Figure This impressive and highly decorative late 19th-century pottery figure was made at the Friedrich Goldscheider factory in Wien, Austria. It is beautifully modelled and hand-painted and depicts a Roman classical male figure dressed in a toga and sandals and carrying his supper, a duck in one hand and a pottery jar most likely containing an alcoholic beverage in the other. He has a pleasing happy expression. This piece is painted in muted tones which are pleasing to the eye and help to reflect the ancient subject. Factory marks and signed on the reverse, some age-related wear but generally in good condition. Circa 1890. Friedrich Goldscheider was an influential ceramics manufacturer. Born on November 6, 1845, in Plzen, Czech Republic, he is best remembered for his founding of the Goldscheider Manufactory and Majolica Factory in 1885 Vienna, which is a world-renowned producer of terracotta, faience, bronze, and alabaster ceramics and objects. Goldscheider's most recognized works are small, posed, ceramic figures which are influenced by turn-of-the-century artistic movements like Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and Orientalism, featuring flowing lines and naturalistic decorative motifs. In 1889, he notably won the Bronze Medal for terracotta pieces at the International Exhibition held in Paris. Goldscheider died in Nice, France on January 19, 1897.

Late 19th Century Japanese Carved Hardwood Okimono of a Man, circa 1890

Located in Central England, GB

Late 19th C Japanese carved hardwood okimono of a man, circa 1890 This top quality and most impressive large scale Japanese carved hardwood okimono superbly depicts a characterful study of a delightfully crafty looking man. He is dressed simply in a robe. On his back, he has a rolled woven mat for resting and a turtle shell sun hat hangs below. On his side hanging from his waist sash, there is a simple hand fan made from woven palm leaves and around his neck, he is wearing a string of very large beads. This unfortunate character is on a journey and he seems to have lost or broken one sandal. His foot is sore and he is resting it on his gnarly walking stick. He has one arm outstretched and is holding out a large piece of fresh fruit as an offering perhaps to barter for new sandals...
