    Hey folks!

    I need your help yet again.

    Thrift shop find in Sweden. Any ideas who the maker could be and age? It's quite large, volume approx. 1,5 litres (0.4 gallons) and height with lid approx. 24 cm (9 1/2 inches).

    Thanks folks!
    Erik

    Rocco style handle and spout, but is it handpainted as that can be important. The gold gilt also looks modern, and at first impression i woudl day this teapot is mid 20th century.

    During his time at MEISSEN, Kühn also introduced the round kiln and, in 1827, he invented what was known as “liquid bright gold”

    The tall slim shape (not round/bulbous) indicates it's more likely a coffee pot rather than a teapot.
    Kind of reminds me of Polish Wawel or Favolina porcelain stuff.

    The decorations looks like a transfer print or a transfer, with some paint added later. Which is a good thing as it is at least vintage then. That style and colour of transfer just reminds me of something post edwardian, but the gold gilt suggest's Mid 20th century.

    I had a teapot by William Guerin similar in shape, but a different handle:

    Guillaume dit William Guérin (1838-1912) et Cie - Limoges

    Thanks moreotherstuff,

    That is very close, I was looking at other William Guerin Limoges and they are all much better quality, and hand painted, however i did find some stamped or transfer printed but whether these are genuine Limoges i do not know.

    Thanks guys for your input. :)

    It took me few more hours to try to find the origin of the coffee pot and I think I figured it out. My gut told me it's Scandinavian and I think I was right.
    It looks a lot like Porsgrund Norway. Late 1800s, early 1900s.
    Found a similar one on Norwegian site and they suggest it is Norwegian. When I started looking for antique Porsgrund coffee pots, many similar ones came up.

    Well Done Erik. Is it handpainted or is it transfer, to me from the image it looks transfer. The gold gilt is also very fine.

    From your link it is :Coffee pot with porcelain lid. Stave handle and twisted relief. White glaze. Black handle and lid grip. Gold line and hand-colored steel print decoration: Flowers and leaves on branch in gray and gold. Unstamped. Model no. 1085. Dekornr. 1726

    Thanks Francisco! :)
    It's hard to tell with this one for some reason. I asked for a second opinion too and we think it is still hand painted although it does look like it is transfer. I have 6-7 tea/coffee pots like this one and they all have similar decor and to me, they are all hand painted. When you touch them with fingers, it also feels like hand paint. I am not 100% sure though.
    They are all quite unique and beautiful. Scandinavians made some very lovely items. Rörstrand and Hackefors for example are one of my favorites. Some of their services are out of this world, I have a lot, but not too many beautiful ones are sold on Etsy or Ebay for some reason.

    Many english makers, such as blush ivory vases circa 1900's where Crown Devon used transfer print and then would paint over the outlines, which when compared with a Royal worcester Ivory blush you can see the dinstinctive difference. I think this is the same with this vase. You have a pattern that is transferred on and then the pattern is touched up with some hand paint.
