- Antique French Creamware Lions 18th CenturyLocated in Katonah, NYWe are thrilled to offer this exceptional pair of creamware lions, each elegantly resting on a tall base adorned with sumptuous swags of dark blue "curtains" with gleaming yellow tassels and trim. Crafted in France, these figures are unparalleled and truly a masterpiece of 18th-century creamware. They date back to the late 18th century, circa 1790. Each lion's head and mane is exquisitely painted with vibrant yellow and lined in striking midnight brown. Their mouths are painted in delicate pink, adding an extra touch of charm.

- Large Blue and White Arras Porcelain Round Soup Tureen French 18th CenturyBy Arras FoundryLocated in Katonah, NYThis late 18th-century French soup tureen is decorated with an elegant design of delicate cornflower sprigs. The color of the porcelain body is creamy white. The cornflower sprigs, handles, and border edging are decorated with beautiful deep twilight blue enamel. The makers of Arras porcelain specialized in porcelain painted in this entrancing blue called "Bleu d'Arras." The combination of the creamy white ground and the blue decoration is splendid! Natural forms like the tree branch handle and the blue cornflower decorations were the height of French fashion in the last quarter of the 18th century. This tureen was made at the Arras porcelain factory circa 1780. Dimensions:10.25" diameter x 9" height Condition: Excellent, with some small original firing cracks along the outer edge of the cover (see image #3).
