Royal Copenhagen porcelain jardiniere. Late 19th century. Pale blue
exterior with in-mold decoration of leaves and underglaze decoration of
anemones (the flower). Elongated oval shape with ends rising to points -
art nouveau influence. Stands on six feet. 12-3/4" long, 7-1/2" wide,
3-1/2" high. Center of underside is unglazed and marked with 3 wavy blue

lines (1880’s mark) and 83/10023. Perfect condition. $350 ppd.

Pair of Royal Copenhagen porcelain spoon rests. 1950’s-60’s. Each
decorated with a single stylized bird. Marks: "bell"(?) mark & Denmark
in green, 107/1355 (110/1355 on second) and decorator’s cipher in black.
Perfect condition. $25 ppd.

Nymolle Art Faience handle-less cup and saucer designed by Bjorn Wiinblad.
Saucer is 4-3/4" diameter. Cup is 2-1/2" tall. Light green background
with dark green decoration of a village/harbor scene - buildings and
sailing ships. Both are marked: Nymolle Art Faience / Hoyrup / Made in
Denmark / Limited Edition / 4006. Perfect condition. $35 ppd.

I usually stay away from damaged items but these came along with some
other stuff:

Royal Copenhagen figurine - boy in raincoat & hat with umbrella, #3556.
1959. 7-1/4" tall. Marked with green Royal Copenhagen/Denmark w/crown
and 3 blue lines. Decorator’s cipher: NVX. One tiny chip/flake to back
of hat brim - would be an easy and inexpensive repair. $225 ppd.

Royal Copenhagen figurine - small boy dressed as a clown playing the
accordion, seated on a barrel. #3667. 1953. Same marks as above -
decorator: NHX. One leg has been cleanly broken off and reattached -
looks like an easily reversible temporary repair. There’s also a tiny
glaze flake on the edge of his pants - doesn’t go completely through
glaze. Shouldn’t be too costly to have professionally repaired. $75 ppd.

Rookwood (?) handled vase. 8.25" tall, 4.25" diameter. One handle on
side. I’d call it an ewer except that it has a circular flared top rather
than a spout. Standard glaze going from yellow-brown to medium brown to
dark brown. Decoration consists solely of an inscription: "J.M.T. Jan.
17 1889"
Unmarked except for an impressed W. I believe this is Rookwood based on
the look of the glaze rather than Weller, Roseville, Owens, etc. Possibly
made as a gift by the decorator. A few small surface abrasions, no chips
