Rare 10" plate. Beautiful color, rich detail. Unusual and lovely piece of James Kent.
Price: $125.00

George Proctor
"Ostend"

14 Pieces:
3 Dessert Plates
4 Cups
7 Saucers

Fourteen pieces of very lovely old Staffordshire china that I believe is made by George Proctor, in a pattern called "Ostend." I believe these are older transferware patterns with hand-applied gold trim and color decoration (1890-1940) on the black base and pink fish-scale patterns with roses..

The three plates measure 7 inches across. They are in very good condition, with very little wear or crazing, and only faint utensil marks.

The cups measure 2.5 inches high and a little over 3 inches wide at the rim. Two are in very good condition. Two have very visible chips on the rim (photo below), and one of the two has some interior discoloration.

The saucers are about 5-3/8 inches wide and in very good condition (no chips, cracks, or crazing).

All the pieces are marked on the bottom with a crown mark and the text "Ostend / English China / G P / L." I believe this is an early George Proctor (Longton) mark. There are also various hand-written decorator marks. Price: $40.00.

Henry Alcock & Co. Ltd.
Cobridge, England
Green Clover, Red Flower
Cup and Saucer
c. 1891-1910

A lovely gold-trimmed cup and saucer, made by Henry Alcock and Co. Ltd., of Cobridge (Staffordshire), England. The mark indicates the pieces date to about 1891 to 1910.
(see www.thepotteries.org/mark/a/ alcock_henry.html for marks)

Both cup and saucer are decorated with heavy gold trim. There is a lovely green border of clover, highlighted with red flowers.

The saucer measures 6 inches wide. It is in fair to good condition. The trim and border are very intact. There is heavy but fine overall crazing (no chips or cracks). There is some very faint browning (heavier on the underside).

The cup measures 2.25 inches high and 3.75 inches wide at the rim. It is in good condition, with intact trim and handle. There are a couple of small brown spots on the bottom (visible in the photo, below right).

The saucer has a detailed mark (photo below) that reads: "Semi-Porcelain / Henry Alcock & Co. Ltd. / Cobridge / England."

Price: $24.00.

Royal Ardalt (England) Bone China
3 Elegant Gold Trim Mugs
Richly Colored Floral Designs

Three lovely, richly decorated bone china mugs made by Royal Ardalt of England (bone china). The decal design features richly colored flowers (front and back), with gold trim on the foot, handle, and rim -- including the inner edge.

The cups measures 3-3/8 inches high and 2-7/8 inches wide at the rim. There are no chips, cracks, flakes, or utensil marks on any of the mugs. The gold trim and floral designs are very intact.

One mug (the first one in the top photograph, with a pink and white flower) must have been the favorite of the prior owner, since it does show some staining on the interior (see photo at right). Otherwise, they are very clean and in fine condition. The floral designs are particularly appealing, in their rich colors of dark red, pink, yellow, and blue.

On the bottom of all three is a clear mark for Royal Ardalt Bone China / Made in England. There is also a gold decorator's mark (different on each piece). Price: $7.50.

Four Salad Plates, Maroon with Gold Trim, Fruit Centers

These gorgeous plates measure 8 inches wide. They are in very good condition, with only faint signs of use. Two are heavily crazed (top photos at bottom), one is lightly crazed, and one has no crazing that I can see. There are no chips or cracks. The designs, gold trim, and detailed borders are very intact.

The bottom has an elaborate stamp (below right) for Fondeville. Price: $12
