"VICTORY", over American eagle emblem. Around the rim are the emblems

 5G - "SCHATZI" COFFEE MUG WITH PILOT'S
WINGS Click on thumbnails for larger views We believe this is from the WWII era, but we
can't find info on the maker "Garnet", so all we can say is we
aren't sure. This is a nice cream colored coffee mug, 3 ''
tall. On the front of the mug from top to bottom is a skunk,
with three red hearts around it, and the name "SCHATZI" in red at
the bottom. Schatzi means "sweetheart or darling" in German, and
"little treasure" if translated to English. On the rear of the
mug is the pilot's wings in silver color, and the name 'TERRY" under
it. All the words and the skunk are raised, and painted, then
glazed. $25
 6G - HISTORIC & PATRIOTIC CHINA PLATE Click on thumbnails for larger views Features an early
rendition of the American spread wing EAGLE on shield over ribband “E
Pluribus Unum”. Geometric edging, all in maroon. 8½” in diameter.
Fine condition. Backmark is “R. HAMMERSLEY, over spread
eagle/GEM/diamond enclosing R”, with some corner code numbers visible,
not all. I could give a precise date,
however I have misplaced my book on historic china during our move to
Alaska. It is from the early 1800’s. $225
 7G - 1907 TEDDY "ROOSEVELT
BEARS" PITCHER, BUFFALO POTTERY
More Photos, Click Here 8” tall. One of the rarest and most desirable
items created which celebrates Teddy Roosevelt, and which relate at
the same time to the origins of the “TEDDY” Bear. Created by Buffalo
Pottery and dated 1907 in their base mark. This whimsical “Roosevelt
Bears” (so marked on the spout) pitcher features various vignette
renderings of Roosevelt caricatures as a bear carrying out numerous
daily activities over limerick-like descriptions. Brilliantly drawn
and colored, reeking with character of the time it was created. A
classic among collectors, rarely seen. When we purchased it in 1996,
we paid $1,150. Slightly later, one was sold at auction in Portsmouth
New Hampshire for $2,150…news clipping provided. In a move
to Alaska, our
pitcher was broken. A piece about 2” wide surrounding the handle came
away. This has been neatly epoxied back in place, fitting
beautifully. A small, ¼ x ¾” hole remains at a corner, near the top.
None of the damage affects the illustrations or the text. Just a
small bit of filigree needs to be reapplied, once the hole is
restored. In my experience of dealing in antiques for about 50 years,
this bit of restoration should be routine to one whose business it is
to restore pottery and china. As small as the remaining hairline
crack is, I expect a restorer could make this nearly invisible as
well. There is also a vertical aging crack, from the lip downward
about 2 1/2", opposite the corner with the hole (you can see this in
the 5th photo from the bottom). This is stable and not a
break. Before the unfortunate moving damage, this pitcher should have
brought $2,500-3,000. With the damage, it’s still a grand display;
the price is now fully adjusted to allow for restoration and profit. $450
  8G - GORGEOUS AMERICAN FLAG DECORATOR CHINA PLATE Click on thumbnails for larger views Spanish American
War, C.1898. Unquestionably from this date and original. 8¼” in
diameter with large American flag flying in the wind from a staff, in
brilliant and wonderful color, details showing lithographic
application. Flagstaff goes through a green wreath at bottom with bow
and ribband with “Old Glory”. Touches of gold at five points on rim.
Backmark is “SEMI VITREOUS (logo) CANTON CHINA”. Very fine. Base rim
has holes for wire or cord hanger. Super patriotic decorator item. $35
  9G - SPLENDID HISTORIC PATRIOTIC
PITCHER Click
on thumbnails for larger views Antique original.
White china decorated with heavy gold borders and accents around crossed
American and British flags. Flags are in color, and are on both sides.
One US flag has a large center star, total of 19 stars. The other US
flag has a regular size center star, total of 24 stars. The significance
of different and total number of stars on the flags is unknown. On the
side with the lip, the name "Rev. C. C.
Carpenter" is spelled out in gold. The bottom
has a maker’s stamp, mostly illegible. It seems to be “MADD_ BURSLAN” or
EN or AM. No chips. Practically no wear. 8¼” high. Represents close
ties between the two countries, and probably a particular historic event
involving the US and Britain. In my estimation, it dates 1870’s to
1890’s. I have seen mugs with this motif dated in the late 1890’s.
Quite striking. $125
 10G
- DRAMATIC & LARGE INDIAN CHIEF CHARGER (PLATTER) C.1890-1900 Click on thumbnails for larger views A bit over 13" in diameter, heavy china charger featuring a
full color chromolitho and hand painted Indian Chief portrait nearly
10" across. Extremely rare and important subject matter seldom
encountered and virtually never excelled in artistic merit, dramatic
presentation, accuracy, and extensive use of color. Green border
overlaid with gilt highlights in rococo scrolls. The chief's name
"WHITE HORSE" appears below portrait. Condition is extremely
excellent. Marked on back "HAYNES/BALTo". Also
marked in handwritten gold "G. R. 1901", probably done by dealer when
sold. These were routinely sold from at least 1890. Iron
wire hanger present, strung through holes provided for this purpose.
Have occasionally seen one of these decorative, centerpiece quality
chargers offered at the renowned Las Vegas winter Arms and Antiques
show for hundreds more. $325
 11G - ANTIQUE AMERICAN FLAG CHINA PLATE Click on thumbnails for larger views Rimmed
with green rococo scrolls and blue flowers, center has small full
color 44 star American flag…the date 1890-1896, is indicated by the
number of stars on the flag which equates to the number of states in
the Union. 8¾” in diameter. Couple hairline cracks in glaze near fly
end of flag. Rest excellent. Backmark is “O.P. CO./SYRACUSE/CHINA”. This plate has good weight. $20
  12G - PATRIOTIC WHITE CHINA CREAM PITCHER WITH DEWEY
& OLYMPIA Click on thumbnails for larger views Spanish American
War classic. Sides have three different patriotic scenes: front
has crossed US and Admiral flags in color; one side has scene of
Dewey's flagship Olympia at sea; and final scene is fine portrait of
Admiral Dewey. Upper rim and spout take the form of an eagle
head, plus wings wrapped around the sides. Loop handle has rope
texture. Pitcher is 4" tall, and excellent, with a little
darkening around the top body portion. Marking on bottom is
circular, containing the text "MADE BY/COOK POTTERY CO./TRENTON,
N.J./PATENTED JULY 1899". $175
 13G - PATRIOTIC MILK GLASS PLATE Click
on thumbnails for larger views Spanish American
War. 8" in diameter. Quite scarce and definitely original.
2" rim of plate has raised decoration...spread eagle flanked by US flags
at top, and alternating fields of stars and eagles the rest of the way.
Fine condition. No chips. $45
 14G - HISTORIC PATRIOTIC CHINA PLATE More Photos, Click Here Features at
center a very early rendition of a flying eagle carrying a bunch of
olive branches and arrows, with a flying 13 star forked tail banner
behind, under ribband with “E PLURIBUS UNUM”. A sunburst provides
background for the entire top half of the scene. Plate’s edge is
covered with very ornate, angular designs. All decoration is dark
brown. 10¼” in diameter. No chips. Barely noticeable 2” hairline
crack in glaze above the ribband. I believe this is early-mid 19th Century, but I can’t provide the exact date as I have
mislaid my book on historical china. $75
 15G - WONDERFUL PATRIOTIC EAGLE PLANTER Click on thumbnails for larger views This is a very nice 8" wide planter, in the style of
McCoy, but not marked. Not sure how old, but we have had it for
at least 30 years. It is an eagle holding flags and arrows, in
the color of Jade. The only flaw I can see is a mild crack in the right rear side, stable, and almost unseen.
Otherwise fine, and a pleasing display item for your patriotic or WWII
collection. $35
