Featured Antique Chinese Pewter and possibly Jade Tea Pot information please

Hello all fortunately found this forum whilst trying to do some research on the above and came across a simular thread. Unfortunately there is no markings to my little duo which I would love to know more about so any info or opinion greatly received.... must admit what initially attracted me to them was the Art Deco shape, let me try and grab an image to uploade Thanks, Sue

 

I saw things like that whilst searching for that strange creamer on another thread.

Those are lovely DAGirl !!
& boy do they deserve to be shined up !!

 

Welcome, Deco Girl. I adore these, although think I would be too worried about lead in the pewter to do anything other than show them off. My first reaction was that knobs & handle insulators were surely something man made, but if pieces were made in China, maybe not. However, they are very good at making garden variety chalcedony look like jade, so caution needed here.

 

Many thanks for the answers and welcome

To be honest the only way I identified them as from China is by trawling the web for images before finding an array of similar but not identical designs listed as from China with most of the handles and finals described as Jade as per links kindly provided. Bronwen if not Jade definitely not man made on close inspection....will try and get some close ups. They are both rather beaten up but are very heavy being just 3 and 5 inches high they have a real feel of quality with super deco detailing on thumb plates of handles. No intention of trying a brew in them btw lol

Shame worthpoint did give info on how much the set above went for

 

LOVE THEM !!! ... Joy.

 

For sure ...... as I purchased them from eBay

The only description was “Art Deco Pewter Teapot and Creamer with Onyx Handles”

 

Wow, those are lovely!

 

WOW!!! SO unique!! Someone here is a Worthpoint member, but I don't recall just who............

And it would appear I have NO manners!!!! WELCOME to Antiquers!!!! You started off with a bang-up image!!!!!

 

Welcome to Antiquers, Decorative Arts Girl.

I love them, they combine two styles I love, Art Deco and Chinese.
Looks like jade to me.

 

Welcome to Antiquers DecoGirl!

 

Worthpoint says it went for $650!

 

Many thanks was rather hoping it would be Jade, still unsure whether to polish up or leave as is

 

Gosh thanks, not a bad little purchase at £50 then, not as many pieces of course but find that the two still display nicely together

 

WELCOME Decorative Arts Girl !!! ... Joy.

 

Welcome and .... score! (and not an own-goal either)
