Made of solid silver, both silver pieces are fully marked, 800 silver with the maker's mark. This substantial and beautifully-crafted neoclassical centrepiece was made in the 1920s and will look perfect on a hall/lobby table or in the dining room. The large silver tray is mounted on a wooden base and secured with brackets. The outside rail has a tube border with scallop shells. The polished surface of the silver tray is in very fine condition for its age and gives a good mirror to the light. The design motif is continued on the silver collar which slips over a copper liner. The copper liner-basket is cut to an exact outline and fit so that a floral arrangement can be executed elsewhere and then dropped into position. For convenience, this item comes with a cut crystal vase saint Louis of suitable height and shape which sits inside the copper lining. The crystal vase may be 'associated', it cannot be verified that it was originally supplied with the rest of the set, but it is of the right period and style. The Brussels firm of Wolfers Freres...

A refined Wedgwood blue jasperware small dish, showcasing the iconic matte blue ground with crisp applied white neoclassical relief, one of Wedgwood’s most enduring and collectible designs. This dish features a softly scalloped rim with radiating fluted detail and a braided border of wheat, framing a central classical scene rendered in high relief. The central image depicts classical female figures accompanied by a winged cherub, drawn from Greco-Roman mythology and emblematic of Wedgwood’s close collaboration with John Flaxman in the late 18th century. These scenes were designed to evoke ideals of harmony, virtue, love, and beauty—core themes of the Neoclassical movement that defined Wedgwood’s artistic legacy. The reverse is impressed “WEDGWOOD / MADE IN ENGLAND”, confirming authentic English manufacture. The dish is finely proportioned and well-balanced, making it both decorative and functional. This piece works beautifully as a ring dish, trinket dish, or small catchall, and is an excellent example of classic Wedgwood jasperware craftsmanship. Details: Maker: Wedgwood Material: Jasperware Color: Wedgwood blue with white relief Decoration: Classical figural scene with cherub, after John Flaxman designs Mark: Impressed “WEDGWOOD / MADE IN ENGLAND” Origin: England Date: 20th century Condition: Very good vintage condition with light surface wear consistent with age; no chips or cracks observed About the Imagery: The figural relief reflects Wedgwood’s neoclassical vocabulary inspired by ancient Greek and Roman art. Designs of draped figures and cherubs were often adapted from John Flaxman (1755–1826), whose work became synonymous with Wedgwood’s intellectual and artistic identity. Such imagery symbolized idealized femininity, affection, and classical virtue—timeless motifs that continue to resonate with collectors. Styling Ideas Use as a ring or jewelry dish on a bedside table or vanity. Style on a desk or console as a refined catchall for keys or small objects. .Layer with books, intaglios, and framed engravings for a collected English look Pair with other Wedgwood jasperware plates...

This impressive antique French glazed terracotta olive oil jar was crafted in Provence, Southern France, circa 1870. Traditionally used for the storage and dispensing of oil, the vessel embodies the classic ovoid form associated with 19th century Provençal jarres à huile, featuring a full rounded body that rises to a short collar neck and tapers to a narrow foot. Two sturdy vertical strap handles are applied high at the shoulder for balanced lifting, and the jar retains its original molded ceramic spout near the base, designed for controlled decanting into smaller vessels. The surface is dressed in a richly variegated honey and deep ochre glaze, generously applied across the upper body and thinning organically toward the lower section, allowing the warm terracotta ground to emerge. Visible throwing rings, natural glaze runs, kiln speckling, and mineral deposits attest to its hand-thrown construction and authentic utilitarian past. Honest chips, glaze losses, and surface wear throughout reinforce its genuine antique character and rustic Provençal appeal. Impressive in both scale and silhouette, this antique French oil jar...
