Pair of 19th Century Urns 'Japanned Tole and Copper'

About the Item

The copper domed covers are mounted with wood finials (possible added later). The shaped body of the urns terminate with turned socles which are in turn supported by drum like bases mounted by hexagonal plinths. The decoration is hand-painted in polychrome with dancing maidens reminiscent of neoclassical design (some overpaint). Swags of ribbons and garlands of ivy leaves round out the rest of the décor. The bases are similarly decorated. The dark cream background japanning is refreshed. Dimensions: 49 ¾” height. 14 ¾” depth. Provenance: Lot #164 Sotheby's April 24, 2008. Devenish and Company.

  • Victorian Porcelain Spittoon, circa 1880 by Imari, Japan
    Located in Incline Village, NV
    The mark on the underneath (see image) indicates that this spittoon is of Japanese Imari porcelain, manufactured circa 1880, and made specifically for the American market for the preponderance of bars and saloons at that time. These were popular from 1865 to the turn of the century; this is a particularly fancy and elaborate example. Note the copious and highly detailed and beautiful floral decoration to the inside of the upper portion of the spittoon; pretty fancy for something meant for spit and saliva! Fantastic and all original condition with no cracks, no chips and very bright paint in sharp colors of blue rust and pink, and meticulously painted in a floral pattern. Several of these would have been “stationed” in strategic places within a saloon. This is a wonderful piece of porcelain, and quality item of saloon and Western United States history...
