About the Item

Early 20th century English Enamel Equestrian Silver Flask Unidentified Maker England; early 20th century Silver, enamel Approximate size: 6 (h) x 3 (w) x 1.25 (d) in. Crafted in England during the early 20th century, its subtle curves hint at the quality within. But the real treasure lies on one side: a meticulously detailed enamel painting. A spirited horse, muscles taut and mane flowing, leaps forward with an unseen energy. Perched upon its back is a rider, clad in traditional equestrian attire, their posture suggesting a practiced ease and control. The enamelwork, vibrant and painstakingly applied, captures the play of light on the horse's coat and the determined expression on the rider's face. The whole miniature scene is a window into a bygone era, a snapshot of English country life and a testament to the skill of the artisan who brought it to life. The flask is more than just a vessel; it's a portable piece of art, a reminder of a time when craftsmanship and elegance were highly valued. Condition: small dents along one or more corners of the flask and a minor dent to its bulbous lid. Minor chipping of the enamel along its margins. Minor scuffing to the reverse due to use and age but possibly subdued or corrected with a proper polish.

A Rustic European 18th century French faience fountain with spigot
Located in Leesburg, VA
Anonymous Mid-18th century; probably Moustiers or Nevers, France Faience and brass Approximate size: 12.25 (h) x 9 (w) x 6.25 (d) inches The present dispenser was either used as a water or wine cooler or possibly for washing hands. The original lid is lost-to-time, yet its provincial beauty remains attractive and sublime. The present example—baked with white enamel and decorated with a lovely hand-painted polychrome lattice and floral theme—is warm, elegant and rustic. The curving linear form of the flowers subtly recall the influence of Japan’s Kakiemon style present in France during the Rococo period yet is still indebted to the earlier influence of Italy’s prolific maiolica workshops. This fountain would serve as an elegant addition for display on an oak or distressed wood console table...
