4GL  -  WWI VICTORY MUG   Click on thumbnails for larger views  Cream colored, 3" tall, narrower at top than bottom.  Ribband around top lists Allies.  Below on one side are: Victory wreath above a shield reading "VICTORY AND PEACE 1919", this over an artillery position with cannon and soldier guarding, etc.  All the illustrations are in brown.  Opposite side has female figure seated, with ships at sea and biplanes in the air in the background.  The female figure is dressed in a helmet, carries a staff, and wears a robe type garment.  Underside of mug reads "PRESENTED BY THE CAERPHILLY URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL...all over several logos including Royal Doulton, England R & No 666159".  Quite a nice piece and very rare.  $85

5GL  -  BEAUTIFUL CHINA CUP COMMEMORATING THE END OF WWI  Click on thumbnails for larger views  White china with full color panoply of flags of the Allies with Statue of Liberty at center within green wreath.  Ribband at bottom reads "MIGHT IN THE RIGHT CAUSE HAS PREVAILED".  2 5/8" tall, 2 3/8" diameter.  Choice and delicate.  Two tiny chips just below the rim at the right side of the handle, with a hairline crack running down, barely seen.  Base reads "Ye Olde English' GROSVENOR CHINA, JACKSON & GOSLING LONDON ENGLAND".  $65

6GL  -  WWII PATRIOTIC ESSO & V GLASS BLOCK COIN BANK   Click on thumbnails for larger views  The bank body is in the form of a custom made glass brick.  4 1/2" square, 3 1/2" deep.  Coin slot on top.  Oval ESSO logo impressed on both front and back, and also 'WATCH YOUR SAVINGS GROW".  One side has red - white - blue label with large "V" surrounding a plea to buy savings bonds and use ESSO products - "BUY WAR SAVINGS BONDS AND REMEMBER ESSO DEALER care saves wear".  Little aging and wear to label, but pretty good, missing the lower point.  Super rare.  $135

7GL  -  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.  $375  SALE PRICE WELL BELOW COST

8GL  -  GENERAL MacARTHUR TOBY MUG   Click on thumbnail for larger views  Made in and so marked "MADE IN OCCUPIED JAPAN".  This is a period when MacArthur ran Japan and was essentially of equal power as the Emperor.  Really nice piece.  4 1/4" tall.  Has all the characteristic of the classic Toby mug.  About mint.  $65

9GL  -  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

10GL  -  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

11GL  -  PATRIOTIC WHITE PARIAN EAGLE MOTIF VASE, C.1850-60's   Click on thumbnails for larger views  Heavy material (Parian) with a matte' surface texture.  Features a large spread eagle with branch in its beak.  Has leafy spray below and some raised scrolls above.  Has applied to each side in the shoulder area, bunches of grapes and grape leaves...typical for vases of this type material.  8 1/4" high.  Very attractive.  On one group of grape clusters, there seems to be missing only a couple rolls of the little vine, hardly noticed, and a portion of one leaf, again hardly noticed; I had to use a loupe to check it out.  Also on one side of the vase, in the middle just below the neck and between the grape clusters, there is what appears to be a casting flaw, not an actual crack, but I can't be 100% sure.  It's hard to see from the outside, but you can see it more looking inside.  It does not affect the structure of the vase at all, but it is there.  We consider it minor.  Looks like there were once areas of gold applied to embellish the leaves for example, but most is now gone...only remnants remain.  During my five decades in the militaria business, I always looked for these patriotic motif items, and obtained them for our collection whenever possible.  $75

12GL  -  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".   $165

13GL  -  PATRIOTIC MILK GLASS PLATE Click on thumbnail 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

14GL  -  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 19^th Century, but I can’t provide the exact date as I have mislaid my book on historical china.  $65

15GL  -  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.  $25

16GL  -  WWII CLEAR WATER GLASS WITH RED V for VICTORY  Click on thumbnails for larger views  Beautiful condition drinking glass, 5" tall.  There is a red "V" on the side with the word "VICTORY" horizontally through the middle of the V.  The code for V runs just below the word VICTORY.  Fine.  No paint loss.  $25

17GL  -  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

18GL  -  CHINA PLATE WITH AMERICAN SEAL  Click on thumbnails for larger views  White central area with color spread eagle/shield, arrows, olive branch, ribband and stars.  A fairly modern rendition.  Rim is banded with narrow orange, blue dots, and a repeating wave pattern.  Condition is like new.  Back of rim has fine floral panels.  Backmark is a square, filled with oriental symbols in orange and red.  10” diameter.  Neat find for patriotic plate collectors.  Beautiful display piece.  $30

19GL  -  "SCHATZI" COFFEE MUG WITH PILOT'S WINGS  Click on thumbnail 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.  $20

20GL  -  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

21GL  -  LIBERTY BELL BOTTLE BANK  Click on thumbnail for larger views   A vintage novelty.  Unsure of age but I judge it to be 1940's or earlier.  3 5/8" tall.  3 3/4" diameter at base. Screw cap done in red, white & blue.  Has a picture of the Liberty Bell, and the words "LIBERTY BELL - NASH'S MUSTARD - NASH UNDERWOOD - CHICAGO".  The lid was neatly slotted to make a coin bank.  Side of bottle has inscriptions as they appear on the real bell in Philadelphia.  $25

22GL  -  RARE HIGHLY DECORATIVE NAZI GLASS PAPERWEIGHT  Click on thumbnails for larger views  I would think that a paperweight collector would never dream of encountering anything like this.  The form is conventional.  A blob of clear glass about 2 3/4" across, looking like a sphere which has relaxed a bit.  Nearly the bottom half has narrow tubes of decorative, multi-colored glass rising shoulder to shoulder, forming a border around the central theme, a black swastika against a square white background framed with Germany's National colors (WWII period) red - white - black.  The center piece is approximately 1 1/2" across.  Fine condition.  Super rare.   $325

23GL  -  VINTAGE GEORGE WASHINGTON CHINA PLATE  Click on thumbnails for larger views  8 1/4" diameter.  Elaborate scroll work surrounds the portrait.  Beautiful condition.  Indecipherable back mark in elaborate letters...sort of looks like Saneguemines, or similar.  Has a few other marks, see photo.  $30

24GL  -  ELEGANT GEORGE WASHINGTON CHINA PLATE  Click on thumbnails for larger views  9" plate, with large color portrait in center.  Rim is heavily gold plated on both edges, with gold scroll work between.  I judge the age of the plate to be in the 1880's.  No markings.  Beautiful condition.  $45

25GL  -  BETSY ROSS FLAG CHINA PLATE  Click on thumbnails for larger views  8 1/2" diameter 1880's china plate.  Under the color scene are the words "Betsy Ross Making The First American Flag".  Full color 3 1/4" diameter cameo scene at center shows Betsy, the flag, Washington and another officer.  Pale green rim with gold accents.  Also shows it was given as a "SOUVENIR OF UNIONVILLE, MICH.".  The stamp on the rear is a bit hard to read completely, but seems to read "THETRENLE CHINA CO. VIRGINIA".  $20

26GL  -  JOHNSON BROS. ENGLAND WHITE HOUSE CHINA PLATE  Click on thumbnails for larger views  7 1/8" diameter.  Nice full color picture of the White House and grounds, with a billowing American flag at top.  C.1880's.  Gold on rim worn, but the decorative portion next to the rim is in good shape.  Rear has the stamping "Johnson Bros. England".  $18

27GL  -  WWII SOLDIER CHIA HEAD   6 1/2" tall, dorky looking clay head with soldier's service cap on, and a silly smile.  From the bottom of the ears to over the top of the head (except hat) the surface is cut...grooved to accept the standard seed which become hair (grass).  Collar around neck has the wording "HI BUDDY".  Has a small chip out one end of the cap and a couple tiny ones at the bottom.  These things didn't usually survive more than one use.  A bit dusty overall, and the paint is aged.  Seems to have some original seeds still inside.  $35
