These were my late father's, i have no use for this set so i want to sell it, what is it?

They are all hand made by college students and artists!

Hello! Today I found this teapot with an RS Prussia mark on it. It looks like some of the real ones I found online, but it has such a new look to me? The teapot itself is lightweight and the gold can actually be felt (if this helps with authenticity).

I bought some beautiful cobalt net. Based on the stamp it is between 1992 and 2001

I cant find anywere if they used lead in them

I would think that such a famous set would have been tested but cant find anything

I was over the moon when I found this Sorrento teapot at the local thrift shop a couple of weeks ago - it’s a piece from the 1950s and was in good condition. I’ve been using it pretty much daily for my green tea (160f temperature) and hand washing it with warm water; no harsh chemicals, no bumps or drops.

The other day, I noticed this huge crack that just… appeared in the lid, and appears to be spreading out. It’s my understanding that fine china can crack on its own sometimes, even if it does hurt that this teapot survived 70 years and a thrift shop warehouse, but not my vibes…

My question is, can I fix it at all? I’m assuming it’s not safe to use the lid as is, and there isn’t really a food safe glue out there that I know of, so is there anything at all I can use?

Can anyone identify this Grosvenor Bone China pattern?

Hi all, I'm unsure as to where I should begin on this Porcelain doll diorama. It was gifted to my mother years ago, as she is a hairdresser. She's just retired, and in the process of cleaning out her hair salon she brought this home, and nearly threw it away before my father and I stopped her to take a further look. I know a lot of similar types of Porcelain art pieces that are valuable and collectable to some people. I have a few questions regarding this. From google, I've seen Capodimonte has many collectable pieces similar to this, but I haven't seen a single image of this exact one. Does anyone have any idea about this figurine? Any ideas of its value? Thank you all for your time, and I hope to hear more about this piece.

Sharing a family heirloom from my small collection. The cup has a view of the Brandenburg Gate.

The saucer shows what was once the Palais of Prince Heinrich, the younger brother of Frederick the Great, viewed from what was then the Opernplatz, I believe, today's Bebelplatz. Today this is the main building of Humboldt University.

Wikimedia has an illustration from about 1900 that shows the same view from further away and at an elevated position, including even that plant in the center on its pedestal, see https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/78/Berlin_Universit%C3%A4t_um_1900.jpg.

I am not sure of the age of this, if the pressed in letters N and R on the saucer and cup, respectively, are indicators of the years, that would put the pieces at 1913 and 1917. I am surprised that they would be years apart, but perhaps they were not originally a set and put together later because they match? Or were pieces painted later and then put together in sets? Or perhaps I am misinterpreting the letters altogether. I am also unfamiliar with the other pressed in marks and the scepters can look quite a like across the ages and to me are often hard to pin down on an era. I need more experience assessing those marks.

I have a set of four angels representing the seasons with this watermark on the bottom. Likely from Germany. Any ideas where the watermark is from or what this set is called? Would they be worth any money? Thanks

My father has had this porcelain RCA dog since I was a child. It was the one thing I wasn’t allowed to touch growing up, and the only thing I asked for in his will. Someone tried to “clean” it with some tort of solvent and stripped away some of the black portions.

Is there any type of paint that I should specifically use to get it back to its most original look?

I know nothing about porcelain.

We were visiting my nan and my son broke one of her porcelain figures, I’ve done some looking myself but if anyone has a lead on where I could replace it I would be grateful. They’re Fitz and Floyd if that helps.

Wondering if anyone can help me ID or provide a bit more info on this beautiful plate. The mark on the bottom seems to put it turn of the 20th century by Tressemanes & Vogt but I haven't been able to find any other examples online that quite match it. Any info you can provide would be really appreciated!

Hi all! I am seeing some conflicting things about this piece regarding pricing & authenticity. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Can I get some help finding out more about these Foo dogs and when they were made?
I do not think they are new - there are similar ones for sale online that are currently being made - but I suspect mine are mid-century because of the style of the curls in their hair, the colour and the the details. The feet are marked with a Chinese symbol (I think for the number 5) and 17 on one and 18 on the other.
Thanks :)

Either Rothschild or Victoria simple pattern - can’t get a clear answer online.

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping the community can help identify the origin, decorative tradition, or workshop of this
unusual covered urn that was later converted into a table lamp.

I found it at a thrift store in East Texas for $20, and what started as simple curiosity has turned into
a much bigger research project.

What I know:
• The body appears to be porcelain.
• Glossy black ground.
• Raised multicolored enamel decoration.
• Raised gilt decoration.
• Original domed lid.
• Twin scroll handles.
• Approximately 10–12 pounds.
• Later professionally converted into a table lamp.
• Crowned anchor medallions on both sides.

The lamp hardware prevents me from inspecting the underside for a maker's mark.

Research so far:
I've reached out to several specialists and museums, and while I've received thoughtful responses,
there is no consensus yet.

• One auction-house specialist identified it as a Japanese enameled vase dating to around 1930.
• A Japanese art specialist at Bonhams did not believe it was Japanese and felt it appeared more
Western or Continental.
• A museum curator specializing in decorative arts identified the crowned anchor as a British Royal
Navy motif but did not believe the object was made in Britain. He also commented that the colors
and decorative technique reminded him of Ottoman, Persian, or possibly Indian work.

So at this point I have several plausible leads, but no firm attribution.

What I'm hoping to learn:
I'm not looking for a valuation. I'm simply hoping someone might recognize the decorative tradition,
workshop, country of origin, or a comparable example.

Specifically:
• Does the decoration resemble a particular porcelain factory or decorating workshop?
• Have you seen this style of raised enamel and gilding before?
• Does the color palette suggest a particular country or tradition?
• Has anyone seen another porcelain urn with this type of crowned anchor decoration?
I've included detailed photographs of the overall piece along with close-ups of the enamel work,
decoration, and construction.
Any thoughts, comparisons, or leads would be greatly appreciated.

I really want to see where this vase originally was constructed.

Thank you

It looks the most similar to some Vienna Austria and Limoges pieces, but there are no stamps, artists, etc. I would appreciate any help on this piece! :)
