About the Item

Unusual accent decorating piece; a silver plated or silver alloy (unmarked) late Victorian British diminutive watering can, circa 1895, that would have been used to water interior plants and window boxes during the late 19th century. With a hinged top lid, the vessel is highly decorated in multiple floral hand engraved motifs (repousse). The predominantly floral and geometric decor is to all sides; the engraving is highly elaborate with some type of decor to almost every part of the surface. There is quite an extensive bit of hand silversmithing to this piece, not seen in similar examples (see all photos). Even the top surface, both handles, and the spout have some type of ornamental hand engraving. It is in it's all original surface and condition with no restoration and the spout and handle are completely intact---very sturdy; not highly polished and maintaining it's true Victorian patina. Provenance: From my own collection of silver and silver plated novelty items Dimensions: 7 1/8" high x 8" deep x 3 3/16" wide Note: I am a second generation antiques dealer and have been in business for 50 years; I am also a member of several prestigious antique associations. Thus, I am well qualified to inspect and evaluate the products I offer for sale and I guarantee this to be authentic and as I have described.

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...
