blume sorry

 

Great finds everyone Love the doll/vase Johnny.

MYMY, I like the jollies but especially the cup and saucer set

 

Thanks Shiloh!
I am so curious about it, it has such pretty decoration, the little cups and saucers are not uniform at all.....

 

Sharona, the curley cues on the bottoms have me wondering? A signature ?They look hand made and hand painted,look a bit European BWDIK? I just really like them


edit

Boy I am blind. I enlarged the cup and saucers and see Asian writing on the cup. Also some enameling of the white flowers. The pattern looks so European to me,I love them even more

 

That blue vase you have in the background, does it have a pontil? Looks like a Victorian/Edwardian blown?

 

Yes it does
here it is

 

I sold a few a couple years ago, some with the ruffled tops,some ornate,others plain.In the 60's I paid up to a 100.00 for one, now they don't bring in that much $$ unless the color is rare and the detail. I have always read the glass is called Bristol. Here is a note:
The term Bristol glass traces its roots back to Bristol, England, an important glassmaking center in the 17th and 18th centuries. Although Victorian Bristol glass bears only a passing resemblance to the paint-decorated wares made a century earlier, future generations of collectors adopted the name.

I was thinking Bristol too, but just guessing, it has fairly simple but pretty flowers

 

I collected all kinds back in the late 60's through the 70's,now I have one left

 

The oriental cup and saucers are Kinkozan

 

Picked up these Cambridge tiles at a garage sale. Came from a fireplace surround circa 1895. $10.00 for 13 of them. They are filthy and have some small chips. Only one has a larger chunk out of the side.

 

Love the tiles!
