Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:37212405 | Object Type: CIDER SET |
HAND PAINTED CIDER SET WITH PITCHER AND FOUR GLASSES.. PITCHER IS DECORATED WITH PEACHES ALL AROUND.. EACH OF THE FOUR GLASSES FEATURES A DIFFERENT FRUIT.. PEACHES, CHERRIES, PLUMS, GRAPES.. IN REMARKABLE CONDITION.. STRONG COLORS.. NO DAMAGE.. NO WEAR TO GOLD.. PITCHER MEASURES 9" ACROSS FROM END OF SPOUT TO END OF HANDLE.. BOWL OF PITCHER MEASURES 5" ACROSS AT TOP, 8" ACROSS AT WIDEST POINT.. 6" TALL .. GLASSES MEASURE 3 1/2" TALL.. THE OPENING AT TOP MEASURES 2 3/4" ACROSS, TH...E BOTTOM, 2" ACROSS.. THE PITCHER HAS A LIMOGE MARK, THE GLASSES, MADE IN GERMANY.. WITH HAND PAINTED CHINA, IT IS NOT UNCOMMON OR SET TO HAVE TWO DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS MARK AS IT WAS BOUGHT AS BLANK CHINA FROM A SUPPLY SOURCE BEFORE BEING PAINTED BY THE INDIVIDUAL DECORATOR AT HOME OR IN A STUDIO.. ALL CHINA BLANKS WERE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME FROM ALL MANUFACTURERS SO LITTLE CONCERN WAS GIVEN TO WHO MANUFACTURED IT.. IT IS USUALLY SIGNED BY THE DECORATOR, BUT I SEE NO SIGNATURE OR INITIALS.. IT IS A SHAME BECAUSE THEY WERE QUITE SKILLED.. THEY WOULD PROBABLY BE AMAZED THAT SOMEONE IN 2020 WOULD BE INTERESTED IN THEIR CRAFT..
