A rare and early Brislington delftware Royal plate, c.1685-88, the octagonal well painted in shades of blue, yellow and manganese with a standing portrait of James II holding a sceptre and a parchment, the rim moulded with an unusual repeated shell motif, broken in half and restuck, 24cm.Provenance: a private collection from Devon and thence by familial descent.Very few dishes with this unusual border are known, but another featuring James II (formerly in the Lipski Collection) was later sold at Christie's as part of the Longridge Collection on 11th June 2010, lot 102.Following James II's deposition after the Glorious Revolution of 1688, many objects featuring his image were destroyed or hidden for the safety of their owners. Jacobite followers continued to grow in number into the 18th century and Devon was a key area, especially for a planned uprising in 1715, following the death of Queen Anne. Family legend reports that the dish was broken deliberately during this turbulent time but resuced by a relative who still held true to the old king and his descendants.
Large Old Master oil on canvas painting depicting a butcher in his shop surrounded by meats and tools of his trade, likely northern Italian circa 16th-17th century.

A pair of fine Dutch Delft blue and white sculptures of seated hounds on a base, 1st half 18th C.H 20 - 19,5 cm Provenance:- A Dutch private collection.- With Aronson antiquairs, Amsterdam, published in 'Dutch Delftware', Amsterdam, 2006, p. 56, no. 41 (see added reference images).- The Meijer Lavino collection, each with a label on the base. The Lavino Collection, one of the world’s largest and most important private collections of Dutch Delftware, was built by steel magnate Meijer Lavino, who died in 2005. This unique collection includes almost the entire range of wares produced by Delft potters between 1660 and 1820. Meijer Lavino (Rotterdam, 1937 – Antwerp, 2005) was the only child of Jewish parents. In 1964 he and Jo de Jong set up De Jong & Lavino, steel suppliers. In addition to his love of clocks, romantic paintings and rugs, between 1980 and 2002 he devoted himself with great passion to collecting Dutch Delftware. He bought a wide-ranging and varied selection of Dutch Delftware and was also intrigued by pairs and complete sets. Besides the variation in forms, he also collected Delftware featuring all the decorative techniques, from white and blue-and-white to multicoloured and pastel shades with gilding. He had a remarkable eye for the best-quality pieces. To ensure he purchased the best available, Lavino surrounded himself with Dutch Delftware experts, and he could also rely on the support of his wife Paula Lavino-Ridderhof. A large part of the collection was kept together and loaned out to the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag on a long-term loan, where it has been on display between August 2019 and March 2020.
