Louis XV Silver Tureen by Jean-Baptiste-Francois Chéret
Located in New Orleans, LA
Crafted by French master silversmith Jean-Baptiste-François Chéret, this period Louis XV tureen boasts exceptional decoration, including delicate and refined engraving, shell and acanthus accents, and a remarkably detailed cast finial of cauliflower, celery and carrots. Thanks to a very strict guild system, French silver has always been among the finest in the world. It was also subject to the various fiscal crises of the late 17th and 18th centuries, as both Louis XIV and Louis XV issued edicts demanding that all silver be brought to the mint for melting, with the resulting coin to be used to replenish depleted state treasuries. French silver from this extravagant era survives only in relatively small quantities, and is thus in great demand by collectors.
The tureen is marked on the interior lid and underside. The large object charge mark identified as a crown over the letter “A...

Pair Creamware Vases 18th Century English with Turquoise Trim Circa 1780
By Neale & Co.
Located in Katonah, NY
WHY WE LOVE IT: One of our absolute favorites!
A pair of 18th-century creamware flower holders complete with stands and covers made in England by Neale & Co. was one of the finest 18th century English potteries. The entire composition is classically elegant. The flower holders are decorated with turquoise swags and delicately painted flowers. The tops are pierced for flower stems. The handles are made in a pair of entwined snakes painted in turquoise with bright red mouths. This flower holder could be used with the tops for individual stems or without the tops for a bouquet. All parts of the set have survived and remained together for the past 200 years.
History of Creamware:
Creamware is the name given to a type of earthenware pottery made from cream-colored clays from Dorset and Devonshire combined with calcined flint.
Creamware was first produced in England sometime before 1740. Foremost of the pioneers of creamware in the Staffordshire Potteries was Thomas Whieldon. He produced a wide variety of creamware. The young Josiah Wedgwood was in partnership with Thomas Whieldon from 1754-1759. When Wedgwood left to set up his own business, he immediately directed his efforts to develop creamware. Many of the Staffordshire Potteries, especially Neale & Co., learned from Whieldon and Wedgwood and developed their own excellent creamware products.

Pair Blue and White Delft Tobacco Jars Netherlands 18th Century circa 1770
Located in Katonah, NY
This outstanding pair of Dutch Delft blue and white tobacco jars were made circa 1770 to hold a type of tobacco named "DÜÎNKERKER."
Made in the city of Delft circa 1770, the cobalt blue decoration on the jars is outstanding.
Description: Framing the title of the jar is lovely floral decoration of leaves, small flowers, and scrolling vines.
At the top of the floral decoration, we see a vase bursting with leaves and flowers.
The covers are 20th century.
Dimensions: 8.75" tall (11"with covers) x 7.25" diameter at widest point
Condition: Excellent
Price: $2,400
Provenance: One of the pair has the mark of The Blompot on the underside. The Blompot factory operated from 1654 until 1841.
In addition, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has an almost identical tobacco jar made by a competing contemporary Dutch Delft factory. The museum notes the name on the jar, "DÜÎNKERKER," refers to a type of tobacco that was more commonly known as DÜÎNKERKEN, spelled with an "N" at the end. Duinkerken is a type of chewing tobacco.
(For more details from the Philadelphia Museum of Art listing, see ** below).
Background of Dutch Delft:
The technique of making Delft was first described in writing by Gerrit Paape in "The Delft Pottery Maker," written in 1794 and dedicated to Lambertus Sanderus, the owner of De Porceleyne Claeuw (The Porcelain Claw). Delft faience began in the 17th century. Much of the most beautiful Delft was produced in the Dutch city of Delft. The Delft potters began to coat their pots thoroughly in a white tin glaze. They then began to cover the white tin glaze with a clear glaze, giving depth to the fired surface and smoothness to cobalt blues. Over time they created a good resemblance to porcelain. By circa 1650, the technical skills of the potters and painters were much improved, and Delft began its golden age.
Background of 18th Century Tobacco Use in The Netherlands:
Tobacco use in 18th century Holland was widespread and socially acceptable. It was commonly consumed through smoking in pipes. Pipe smoking became popular among all social classes, from the working class to the wealthy elite.
Tobacco was not only enjoyed for its recreational purposes but also had a role in social rituals and gatherings. It was often smoked during social events, in coffeehouses, taverns, and at private gatherings.
The Dutch Republic was known for its extensive trade networks, and tobacco was significant in this trade. The Dutch East India Company (VOC) was crucial in bringing tobacco from the colonies, such as Virginia in North America and Java in the East Indies. In addition, the VOC controlled much of the tobacco trade in Europe, contributing to the popularity and availability of tobacco in Holland.

Rare 18th C. Meissen Sleigh w/ Court Jesters Fröhlich & Schmiedel, After Kändler
Located in New York, NY
A Rare 18th-Century Meissen Porcelain Horse-Drawn Sleigh Group Featuring the Court Jesters Joseph Fröhlich and Gottfried Schmiedel, After a Model by Johann Joachim Kändler. This finely modeled and painted Meissen porcelain group, created circa 1750, captures a dynamic and theatrical sleigh ride featuring the court jesters Fröhlich and Schmiedel. The composition is anchored by a galloping white horse adorned with a blue cloth draped over its back, trimmed with gilt tassels. The harness, with delicate chains, connects the horse to an elaborately detailed sleigh with scrolling gilt accents and openwork elements. The sleigh glides over a textured, snow-covered base, sculpted to mimic the uneven terrain.
At the center of this lively scene, Fröhlich, dressed in vibrant carnival attire with a green hat and yellow cape, stands on the runners of the sleigh, leaning forward to embrace and steal a kiss from Countess Friesen. However, the "Countess" is, in fact, Schmiedel in disguise, adding to the humor of the piece. Schmiedel wears a floral-patterned gown with intricate hand-painted blooms in shades of purple, yellow, and red, complemented by a white apron and a red bonnet. The finely painted facial features capture the moment's theatricality, as Schmiedel grips the reins while seemingly playing along with the jest. In front of them, a small monkey with wings sits perched at the sleigh’s edge, holding a dish with two burning hearts, reinforcing the amorous and playful nature of the composition.
The back of the base bears the Meissen underglaze blue crossed swords mark, confirming its origin at the renowned German porcelain manufacturer. The model was first created by Johann Joachim Kändler in 1741, during his tenure as Meissen’s chief modeler. Kändler’s ability to animate porcelain figures with expressive gestures and dynamic movement is evident in this work, reflecting the theatrical influences of the period.
Meissen, established in the early 1700s under the patronage of Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, was the first European porcelain manufacturer to successfully produce hard-paste porcelain. The factory became synonymous with innovation, refinement, and technical excellence, with Kändler playing a key role in developing its sculptural traditions. Meissen’s 18th...
