A fine French Paris porcelain apothecary form tobacco jar circa 1920. The jar is signed Dunhill and is presumably a piece of porcelain made for and retailed by Alfred Dunhill. The lidded jar is decorated with a canary yellow ground. The scenic field depicts a colorful pheasant standing on a grassy mound. Below the bird on the ground is a hunter's horn and a rifle.
Condition is excellent.
This is a very sweet, early egg cup, unsigned but likely from one of the early faienceries in the Desvre region. The design of simple flowers, heavy strokes, naive and rustic execution place this charming little piece toward the end of the 18th century. A very fine Paris Porcelain Gold Ground Cup and Saucer circa 1820. The piece is in a Neoclassical style decorated with a large reserve painted with an exquisite floral still life. The remaining fields are painted in gilt over cobalt blue and utilize an anthemion and leafy vine bands.
