AN AMERICAN STERLING SILVER TABLE LIGHTER by Gorham, in the form of a grenade or bomb. 8cm high, 7.2 troy ounces gross

A VERY RARE LONGQUAN GE-TYPE BLACK-BODY DISH, SOUTHERN SONG / YUAN DYNASTY, 13TH – 14TH CENTURY with shallow sides flaring at an angle from a short foot to a foliate-shaped rim, evenly covered overall except the base with a rare Ge-type greyish-green glaze with ‘Gold Thread’ crackles, the unglazed base revealing the black body burnt purplish-brown in the firing. 14cm diameterAn English Private CollectionThe form and foliate style rim, with the foot rim glazed and unglazed base, is typical of dishes made at the Longquan kilns during the Southern Song to Yuan period. The dish was possibly used as a washer to adorn the table of a scholar. However, the elements which make this dish very rare are the black body that fired a purplish-brown shade on the surface of the unglazed base and the exquisite ‘Gold Thread’ crackles in the celadon glaze. It is thought that the black 'Iron Wire' lines on Ge wares were produced using a black pigment but that the small thin ‘Gold Thread’ lines were caused by the iron oxide from the iron-rich clay permeating through the crackle in the glaze after the dish had been buried by the potters underground for a length of time.It is most likely that the Longquan kiln intentionally attempted to imitate the crackle glaze of Ge wares with this scarce dish. The Ge (‘elder brother’) kiln site is yet to be determined, and it is generally accepted that the crackles in the glaze of Geyao are either just ‘Iron Wire’ or the combined ‘Gold Thread and Iron Wire’ shades. However, there are some examples of dishes in the Palace Museum which only have the ‘Gold Thread’ crackle and these are illustrated in ‘Selection of Ge Ware, The Palace Museum Collection and Archaeological Discoveries, 2017, item 51 pages 130—131, item 54 pages 136—137 and item 55 pages 138—139.The glaze of Ge wares contains many tiny bubbles. Generally, the glaze resembles shiny, oily skin and is not illuminant. An example of this type of Ge ware glaze is on a vase in the Metropolitan Museum collection, accession number: 42.198. The profusion of bubbles in the glaze of this dish, similar to those in Ge glaze, shows how the Longquan kiln was able to imitate Ge ware.Although the surface of the unglazed base on this dish fired a dark purplish-brown, due to the tiny surface firing cracks on the base, it can be seen using magnification that they expose the iron-rich black body. This is very unusual for Longquan ware, as it is normal for such ceramics to have a lighter grey body. Although fragments of Longquan Black-body Guan-type wares were excavated at the Wayaolu kiln site, and a number of these are in the Zhejiang Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology ( Selection of Ge Ware, The Palace Museum Collection and Archaeological Discoveries, 2017, pages 198—217 ), it is extremely rare to find a complete Longquan Ge-type dish of this form having a black stoneware body similar to Ge wares.

A nickel plated Dunhill lighter in original box with instruction leaflet

A Late 19th Century Diamond Tiara/Necklace the fleuron motifs set throughout with old cut and eight-cut diamonds, to a back chain formed of old cut diamonds spaced by knife edge bars, in white claw and collet settings, total estimated diamond weight 2.00 carat approximately, in a fitted case labelled the Association of Diamond Merchants, Jewellers & Goldsmiths, 6 Grand Hotel Buildings, Trafalgar Square, Londonlength 38cmBy the 1500’s it was fairly well-established practice for a bride to wear a tiara or circlet on the head. No longer the preserve of Royalty, gem set tiaras now signified the importance of the bride on her wedding day, and the stones and designs had their own symbolism. Diamonds have long been associated with eternity: to mean forever, everlasting.This example is typical of the mid-late Victorian period. The diamonds set in silver settings on gold backing, commonplace prior to the development of platinum working techniques (which allowed for finer, lighter settings). In addition, the versatility that allows this to be worn not only as a tiara but also as a necklace is characteristic of the innovative Victorian period.The tiara/necklace is in fair condition with wear commensurate with age. There is evidence of lead solder to the frame. There are no supports evident to the reverse of the central section with channel sections on the frame for the central drop, possibly later adapted to a tiara. It fastens by the back chain sections hooking to the central section, and the frame has an extending screw mechanism. Two extra links are present to extend the necklace wearing length. It bears no hallmark nor stamp but in our opinion would test as silver and gold. The frame is unmarked and in our opinion is gold plated. The height of the central drop from the base of the frame to the top is 4.5cm, the drop length of the central section of the necklace is 2.8cm. The drop length of the smallest drop length is 1.2cm as a necklace, 2.8cm on the frame. The approximate qualities of the diamonds are; colour I/J/K, clarity SI2/I1/I2/I3. Gross weight 41.9 grams. CR made 15.05.23.

Compositor: William Jenkins. Press-men: H. Gage Cole and Albert Lewis." "Cobden-Sanderson was sixty when he entered into partnership with Emery Walker in founding the Doves Press. Between them ... they evolved a type of superb beauty. Though also based on Jenson, it was somewhat lighter than Morris's Golden Type, a factor that enabled them to use hand-made paper that was less bulky and more suitable for book work. With this type they printed books of austere but great beauty. In contrast to the lavish black ornament of the Kelmscott Press there was no decoration unless one counts an occasional coloured, though undecorated, initial. They relied on faultless presswork, the beauty of the type and the perfect design and balance of their pages" (Thomas Great Books and Book Collectors (1975), p.221).
