Limoges oyster plate, c.1885, with five shaped wells and Aesthetic Movement floral decoration. The base carries two marks: the green underglaze H and Co L factory mark and the red overglaze Haviland and Co. Limoges decorator mark, meaning the plate was both made and decorated at the Haviland works in Limoges, France. The white porcelain ground is dressed in soft blue roses, rust foliage, and bellflowers across a scalloped border, the wells rimmed in gold. This paired-mark format is the classic Haviland combination of the late 19th century, consistent with the c.1885 date; oyster plates peaked in these decades as refrigerated rail brought fresh oysters inland. The gilt is notably worn from use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valley House Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46955491885209,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/1270\/1593\/files\/IMG_8321.jpg?v=1776280460"},{"product_id":"dutch-delft-blue-white-lidded-ginger-jar","title":"Dutch Delft Style Lidded Ginger Jar, Hand Painted Cobalt Floral, Made in Holland","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA vintage Dutch hand-decorated ginger jar in the Delft blue-and-white tradition, marked on the base with a crown over Delfts, Hand Decorated, Made in Holland. The baluster body and domed pointed-finial lid are painted in cobalt with bold peony-form blooms, foliate scrolls, and trailing leaves on a warm white earthenware ground, the brushwork free and shaded, consistent with hand-painting, not transfer. One note: this crown-and-Delfts export mark is the generic mid-century Dutch mark used by many producers, not Royal Delft or a named pottery such as Royal Sphinx, so it reads as decorative export ware in the Delft style. At 12.5 inches with its lid intact and excellent surface, a handsome decorator piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valley House Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46973221306521,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/1270\/1593\/files\/0_image_picker_C26F1214-0523-4A72-B046-0DE42F5E1A23-53958-00000CD025BC7147-removebg-preview.png?v=1776881213"},{"product_id":"d-eldreth-salt-glazed-stoneware-vase-cobalt-blue","title":"D.

Eldreth is a Pennsylvania studio pottery working in the 19th-century Pennsylvania German salt-glaze tradition; this is a contemporary studio piece dated 1988, not a period antique, and the workshop remains in production. At 14 inches with full wraparound decoration it is a large, well-marked example with strong shelf presence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valley House Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46973268459673,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/1270\/1593\/files\/0_image_picker_D1A92149-24CB-4A06-88F6-995297CDD97B-54102-00000CD61237B7D6-removebg-preview.png?v=1776881158"},{"product_id":"vista-alegre-tiffany-porcelain-centerpiece-bowl","title":"Vintage Portuguese Porcelain Centerpiece Bowl | Vista Alegre for Tiffany \u0026 Co.

White ground with russet iron-red copper-luster spotting on head, ears, and flanks; gilded collars with pendant lockets; hand-painted facial features showing the slight between-piece variation of period bench decoration. From roughly 1840 through century's end, Staffordshire potteries — and Scottish counterparts where they were called Wally dugs — produced these in vast numbers as the standard Victorian parlor ornament. Russet is the most desirable color after the rarer black and tortoiseshell. Small scale at 5½ in H places these at the refined end of the production range. Both pieces sound; expected paint loss to russet patches; small flake to one ear; no cracks, no restoration.
