Are these Sevres Urns and what is the value?

They're not Sevre marks. They used crossed swords, while yours have crossed arrows.

Anybody know if William Guerin's son Andre did any decoration?

 

You are confusing Meissen, which was crossed swords, with Sevres, which was interlaced Ls. Neither of which is crossed arrows as on this.

 

So it's not Sevres? What would they be? I did a google search and some came up with the crossed arrows saying it was a Sevres mark.

 

Ugghhh....long day.

 

Rontgen has a section on Meissen marks that includes a lot of variations by other companies that get misidentified. There are several crossed arrow marks of which the most promising seems to be Bourdois and Bloch in Paris 1890-1948. But it's a shot in the dark.

 

Bourdois & Bloch looks exactly like my mark. I also read that they styled their products like Meissen, Sevres and Royal Vienna porcelain. But I can't find any urns only figurines from that company. I have been finding urns by Vincent Dubois. Would these be by him?

 

There is also a sticker on the bottom saying it is Vincennes porcelain. If that might mean something?

 

I think someone a lot more recent is trading on an old name.

 

Is it possible to look up these urns by the artist that signed the image painted on it? Just not sure the A, would Andre be correct?

 

Not sevres but Geyer & Körbitz imo

However there is a red stamp with words "made in france" stampt on it, the crossed arrows mark is used by Porzellanfabrik Geyer & Körbitz (1890 until 1900) and later Porzellanfabrik Kalk Germany-Thuringa- Eisenberg.

also Arnart and some other firm used a crossed arrow mark.

 

So what company had both marks together? The Bourdois & Bloch from what I found is the closest but can really only find figurines, not urns that they made.
I was hoping I could find the artist the signed the image.

 

That "made in France" makes me question a German attribution. That would have been noticed and would have been a problem at the time.

It's unlikely you will find the artist. There was a 19th C painter A. Guerin, but it's a leap to suggest it's the same person.

 

i am not sure about the bourdois & bloch (BB) because the feathers are different. On the other hand, the words made in France with BB mark does make sense

 

I'm not sure about Bourdoin and Bloch either, but I do think we are looking for a French company. "Made in France" would have no cachet to a German manufacturer. The Germans don't play second fiddle to anyone in porcelain manufacture.

There is another company, Bloch & Cie., also from Rontgen, but that's just another shot in the dark.

 

Yes, you are right.

 

I think more likely just the sort of variance you get with hand drawn marks... a bit heavy handed on the stroke.

 

the mark could be Manufacture de la Courtille (Locre)

 

I keep coming back to that "Made in France", which most likely moves the date after the 1890s into sometime in the 20th C. "Made in" became an import requirement for goods shipped to the U.S. after 1891.
