Pair 18th Century French Creamware Lions Hand Painted Circa 1790
Located in Katonah, NY
This rare and charming pair of 18th-century French creamware lions was made circa 1790.
Each lion reclines atop a tall rectangular base decorated with rich cobalt-blue swags, bright yellow tassels, and vivid green trim.
The forms are bold and expressive. The lions' open mouths are painted in soft pink, and their manes are rendered in vibrant yellow and lined with dark brown, lending them an animated, almost theatrical presence.
The lions rest on what appear to be stylized, draped cushions, adding a sense of comfort and reality.
Their wide-eyed expressions and exaggerated features give the pair a whimsical character that blends elegance with humor—a hallmark of late 18th-century French design.
Unmarked but unmistakably French in style, these figures make a striking decorative statement. Whether placed on a mantel or console, they command attention and offer a playful counterpoint to more serious classical forms.
Dimensions: 6.5 inches tall x 6.75 inches long x 4.5 inches wide
Condition: Excellent
Price: $2,300
Decoration: Painted in yellow, cobalt, green, pink, and brown with molded drapery and tassel detail
Material: Creamware pottery
Style: French Neoclassical with Folk Art elements
Origin: France
Date: Circa 1790
Key Features
- Rare pair of large 18th-century creamware lion figures
- Expressive hand-painted decoration with bold color contrasts
- Tall bases decorated with molded and painted swags and tassels
- French origin, circa 1790
- Whimsical and animated expressions add charm and visual interest
Background of creamware
Creamware is the name given to a type of earthenware pottery initially made from white clays from Dorset and Devonshire combined with an amount of calcined flint.
Creamware was first produced in England sometime before 1740. Foremost among the pioneers of creamware in the Staffordshire Potteries was Thomas Whieldon. The young Josiah Wedgwood partnered with Thomas Whieldon from 1754 to 1759. When Wedgwood left to set up his own business, he immediately directed his efforts to developing creamware.
Around the same time, in the mid-18th century, French potters developed their creamware known in France as "Faience Fine...

Donald Duck Cast Iron Stop/Enter Doorstop by Walt Disney Productions, 1971
Signed by Walt Disney Productions, 1971
A rare and authentic 1971 Walt Disney Productions Donald Duck Cast Iron Stop/Enter Doorstop is a collector's gem. Measuring inches high, 5 inches wide, and 3 inches deep, this unique piece features Donald Duck in his classic sailor shirt, cap, and bow tie, holding a movable and removable 2-inch diameter green "Enter" and red "Stop" sign. Due to patent infringements, only a limited number of these doorstops were produced, as Disney had not granted permission for their creation, making original pieces like this highly sought-after. Unlike the numerous "knock-offs" on the market, this doorstop is guaranteed to be original, complete with its authentic sign. It remains in near-mint condition, with the paint still brightly colored, showcasing the high-quality craftsmanship and attention to detail typical of Disney products. This doorstop not only serves a practical function but also stands as a delightful piece of Disney memorabilia...

Rare 1935 Art Deco Metaphysical Ceramic Vase by Marcello Fantoni for Deruta
By Deruta
Located in Bagnolo Mella, Brescia
This remarkable Art Deco metaphysical vase, created by renowned Italian ceramic artist Marcello Fantoni for Deruta in 1935, is a rare and highly collectible piece of Italian ceramic art. The vase features a striking black glaze with silver bands on two sides, capturing the refined elegance of 1930s Liberty style. An additional silver ring encircles the base, further enhancing its sophisticated design. On the front, two red giraffes are exquisitely sculpted (not simply painted) within a carved recess, resembling a grotto — a masterful touch that showcases Fantoni’s unique artistic vision.
In excellent condition, this vase exemplifies the finest craftsmanship of early 20th-century Italy. Other pieces from the same series are part of the Deruta Museum collection, highlighting its historical and cultural significance. This rare and extraordinary piece is a valuable addition to any serious collection of Italian Art...

JSE069
In the early Nineties, John Seubert was living in a former hotel in a high-rise building on St. James Place in Chicago. The apartment was tiny, as hotel rooms tend to be, and clad with paper-thin walls allowing sound to pass from one apartment to the other. At the time, John’s artwork consisted of pounding copper sheets into tables which was a noisy endeavor to say the least. Following several noise complaints from the neighbors, John had a dream that he was living in a ramshackle house but with plenty of room to work and no attached neighbors. The following day after lunching at the McDonalds in Lincoln Park, John wandered the neighborhood a came upon a shabby, falling-down old Victorian house. He located the real estate agent, put in an offer, and weeks later was pushing a shopping cart full of his belongings to his new home.
This 144-year-old Painted Lady provided a blank canvas for this inimitable artist. For many years the house remained so empty that John was able to ride his Japanese fold up bike throughout the 1st floor. “Some people want to have sex...
