NEW STUFF
This stuff is not really new I've had it for years,
it is only new to my web-page.

Front view.        "BLAC-DE-CHINE FIGURE
"
A Te-Hua (Fukien) Blac-De-Chine figure of Bhodidharma the disciple who brought Bhuddism to China
in the seventeenth century
of the late Ming period.
Close up of head.

Bottom view showing how the head protrudes through from the top. In the view of the bottom, you can see that it is hollow and the porcelain is very thick, it has fire cracks, and the head has been put on last, as you can see by the way it protrudes on the inside, which you can see in the picture, all of these things are very typical of the late Ming period porcelain figures.

19th century
African mask       "BABOON MASK"
This is a nineteenth century African mask, in the back of it, it has printed in indian ink which a previous owner must have put there the words
"Labala Pindan Pindan" I presume it is a district in Africa but I Haven't been able to find out yet. {maybe Baule Tribe from the Ivory Coast?}

c1790.              "TEA CADDY"
In the 18th. early 19th. century the women of the well to do families didn't go out to work. So they found something else to do with their hands and so did different craft work of which curled paper work was one, the local carpenter would make the box and the woman would do the curled paper part, this is a very good example.

if she had lived she would have been Queen of England instead of Queen Victoria.
Salt glazed head the top of the head lifts off and it is a container for something.

Salt glazed gin bottle commemorating Queen Victoria coming to the throne of England in 1837. on the back it has impressed "QUEEN ALEXANDRINA VICTORIA" meaning that they jumped the gun and made it before they had decided what her title would be. (Alexandrina or Victoria) so it is a rare piece. made by Bourne potteries Denby & Condor Park.
