Screaming Art Deco Chrome Figural Candy Dish Just in from a local estate collection exclusively to the internet comes this fabulous art deco treasure. Dating back to the 1930s or 40s, this highly detailed piece measures approximately 9 inches high and 9 1/2" at its widest diameter on the bottom tier.

The dish is made of chrome plating and is beautifully designed. It has two tiers. with the top one being held up by a wonderfully executed ballerina. Great attention was given to make sure that she was realistically portrayed, and not just on one side, but on both. Her facial features are in detail and relief, as is her body, which is clothed in a tutu while she does her pirouette. The frills of her skirt are quite detailed as well.

The tiers of the dish have a nice openworked design with a leaf-like pattern, and the pieces are all held in with flat head screws, one at the top and one on the bottom. The only mark I could find was on the back of her little slippers which is as follows:

REG DESIGN
874837

In excellent condition, the decorative deco piece has minimal wear. The chrome is still bright and intact, though a cleaning is in order, and the pieces are securely attached and original. There doesn't appear to be any pitting to the finish, making this in what I would consider better than average condition. Surely a welcomed addition to the most advanced of collections, why not add this one to your charm braceler or collection today?

Feel free to contact me with questions or concerns regarding this piece, and please check out my other auctions for great stuff: I am constantly listing items including signed costume, Bakelite, Victorian, Nouveau, and Deco pieces, and other collectibles!

SCREAMING ART DECO ORANGE GLASS BALL JUG PITCHER Circa 1930s-40s, round ball jug, apprx 7 1/2" tall, orange glass, bright and lovely. I believe this is a type of orange coating as it is opaque and you can see the bottom is clear w/ orange on the inside. Unusual.

From my private collection.

VINTAGE ART DECO FIGURAL WOMEN SALT & PEPPER SHAKERS Out of my own private collection is this terrific pair of salt and pepper shakers. Made of porcelain, these art deco figurals measure about 4" high and date back to the flapper days of the 1920s or 30s.

The shakers are an off white porcelain and are hand painted with pink and blue flowers and green leaves. The floral decoaration adorns the women's chests as well as the side of one of their heads. They each have a hole on the bottom, though a cork would be needed to actually use them as shakers, and the flowers are a little darker on one of them.

They are unmarked, but I feel sure they are of Japanese origin. They're free of repair and the only damage I could find is a small nick on the end of one of the women's noses. It isn't detracting, in my opinion, though a small bit of touching up could easily repair it if desired. These would be great displayed with other art deco items!

 

ART DECO COMPACT BIRDSEYE BOX CELLULOID EROTIC SCENE I have had this in my private collection for over 20 years. It is probably Russian or made in the USSR and it dates to the 1920s or so. Measures about 3 1/8" by 4 1/2" and is a little over 1/2" high.

The little miniature hinged cigarette compact size box appears to be birdseye maple (or maybe burl walnut?). I had one collector assess this as a snuff box, but an expert stated what I had always thought, that it cigarette compact.

The box is ultra rare and unique and boasts what would have been considered erotica in the early 1900s. Hand crafted, the front scenic design is inlay with celluloid and shows an Asian woman peering out from behind a door while a male suitor, while holding his hat in one hand, presents a flower bouquet to her. What makes this even more unique is that when you open the box, the celluloid design continues on the inside of the lid and it shows the scene on the other side of the Chinese or Japanese woman's home. The surprise is that the woman is naked and you see her bare bottom as she discreetly hides her nudity from the gentleman.

This is authentic and being sold as I found it over 2 decades ago. It is in amazingly good condition, excellent vintage condition with very little wear. It's been stored in a smoke free environment.

I've enjoyed this probably more than anything I've ever collected over my 25 year career of buying and selling. I've never seen another like it and can assure the lucky buyer that it is even better in person than on the computer.

No damage, repair, missing sections. When you open the box, the hinge is a little tight, but it doesn't affect the functionality or overall appearance.
 

LARGE ANTIQUE BEADED FRENCH GLASS FLOWERS BOUQUET Unlike any hand beaded flowers I've ever seen, these rare antique beauties have been in my personal collection for several years. Most of the beaded flowers of this genre are of miniature daisy and other such flower types, however, these are done in realistic detail and appear to be nearly life size.

The bouquet consists of 4 large flowers, the longest of which measures about 12" long including its stem.

One of the flowers is a rich red maroon flower with many petals and a yellow center. It appears to be some sort of dalia or mum, I believe.

Another one of the flowers is a strikingly ornate and detailed piece in a lavender pink with what appears to be abought 100 or so loop like petals forming a big ruffled flower that is either a large chrysanthemum or perhaps even a peony (which are blooming right now in my front yard!). It has long narrow green leaves and a long wrapped stem.

The other two flowers are wrapped on a long stem toether. They appear to be some sort of lily, I believe. Each of the flowers boast long narrow curling petals in shades of blue..alternating light blue and periwinkle blue. They each have yellow centers with long green leaves and a thick wrapped stem.

Rare indeed, these are each large enough to display individually, but are still quite lovely bunched together for a colorful and breathtaking bouquet! Flowers like this would sell for $25 to $50 EACH if sold individually, but I decided to sell them as a bunch

Lovely patina, silk is old and aging, fan is in fair condition, mainly suitable to display in a shadowbox or art project, sold as found, final sale, as is. Still very nice as it is and a true antique collectible. Priced accordingly; would be over $100 if perfect.

ANTIQUE ART DECO MAX le VERRIER NUDE WOMAN FIGURINE Nearly 6" tall and a tad over 4" at its widest point, circa early 1920s, superb authentic spelter and green painted miniature sculptural figure of a nude woman, flapper era, art deco to the max.

This is from MY collection. I bought it at an estate auction 21 years ago. It was quite pricey even then. It is an ashtray, though I have never used it as such. Signed M. Le Verrier on the bottom, depicted is a nude who appears cold as she has her arms crossed over her chest as she leans over.

Amazing detail, superb vintage condition, original, no damage or repair.

I found the following information about this piece:

Max Le Verrier was the name of a very famous 120s foundry, known for its amazing statues. The figures they made are known to have an elegance of movement, providing a moment which seems frozen in time. Max le Verrier is one of the most sought after names because of the fine detailing, making it a superb representative of the art deco movement.

Though they are best known for his chryselephantine figures, Max also made bronzes group figurals, One them made by the foundry is the classical theme of Diana the Huntress or his famous Amazonian Diana with shield and spear.
 

SLEEK ANTIQUE VINTAGE ART DECO FRENCH PINK MARBLE CLOCK Purchased in an open air market in Paris France many years ago, measures about 9" tall and 8.25" wide, white marble base and a round pink marble body, circa early to mid 1900s, screaming art deco geometric lines. Quite pretty.

Sold as found, NOT working, never tried to get it fixed, I have only used it as display. Base is lose, has minimal nicks at the bottom but nothing detracting. At the border of the pink marble, below the "4" and "5" and the "8" and "7" are little white places where something may have originally been attached. I am unsure of what.

Sold as found, as a display only, not a working clock. I know it can either be fixed or a quartz movement be installed if you want it as a time piece.

Priced accordingly, these kinds of clocks sell for $250-$400 at stores, even in non-working condition.
 

VINTAGE ANTIQUE HANDMADE INLAY PERSIAN BOX From my own collection, circa early to mid 1900s, all handmade of organic materials like bone and semi precious gemstones, about 6.5" by 4" and 1.5" high. Wonderful workmanship, a piece of art. Inlay design looks like little stars, star of David type.

Even the bottom and inside of the box is beautiful. Appears to be from the mid east, like Persia (Iraq). Near mint condition with only a small slim piece missing at the edge on the underside. Sold as found, never offered before.
