French Majolica Tree Cottage Humidor. Majolica experts know all the caveats. First and foremost, good Majolica has heft. Avoid flimsy lightweight items. They were made to mimic the early goods, and frankly, they're all too plentiful. Also, make sure colored glazes are appropriate for the subject matter of the piece, ie, leaves are green, etc. Hallmarks are helpful, but Majolica was mass produced, so few companies really hallmarked. This piece does bear the mark,"GB and Co. Depose." It is in excellent condition, with one small chip in the pipe storage cup. It's good to note here, when collecting earthenware, chips ARE okay, providing they do not detract from the aesthetics of the piece. With old soft glazes, age cracks will appear, and chips are common. Value is not diminished. Items like our happy humidor were made through the 1880s. Few remain so charmingly intact.

This likeness of the blessed virgin would compliment any collection of Christian relics. She has worn patina which can be imitated, but never duplicated. We offer this statue in "as is" condition due to some flaking behind the figure.

Orthodox church relics are highly sought after in the marketplace. This particular icon has the date 1857 on the reverse. Earlier versions have back slat supports to prevent warping. Later kiln drying negated the need for this technique, though they continued to be used on larger format icons. The "riva" or protective tin cover is very ornate on this example. Applying the riva kept fingerprints and lips of the faithful from destroying the precious paintings over time. Use alone with an easel, on a wall, or collect en masse for chief affect.

This pair of decoys have not been used, but they are made for use or display. Painted by Cedar Run, New Jersey artist, John Hamilton in the latter part of the 20th century, they are both hand made and bear a striking resemblance to the living species. Single decoys are more readily available, but a mated pair like this are more difficult to come by. They look handsome on a preppy mantle, in bookcases, or just perched practically anywhere. A bracket or shelf in the mudroom looks swell with decoys to survey the wading boots and rain hats!
Approximate Dimensions: 12"L X 6"H X 4 1/2"W

Black Pug Iron Door Stop. We love dogs at Churchill including any art form which depicts dogs! We have a large collection which we have found across the US and Europe. All have their original paint, and a great decorative item for the home. We have many more usages for our doggies than just door stops. We put them on mantels, tables, and even hang jewelry on our pups. We stack bracelets around our dog's neck giving our pet the best of collars!

Stained Glass Window from Liverpool Features Neptune and Poseidon with two blue birds in an ocean scene. 33" wide by 18" tall. Churchill's love of the Beatles made us buy this wonderful stained glass window insert from Liverpool. The Beatles have nothing to do with this window other than they both came from Liverpool.!

Antique French Porcelain Tea Caddy in Pink Toile Design. This toile style tea box was made near Paris, France in perhaps the mid 1800s. It bears the mark: S X, defining pieces made in Sceaux where famous faience was produced. 18th century pieces were of low quality soft paste porcelain, but by the 19th century, the workmanship became much better. These studios progressed from making ordinary tourist fare to fine majolica. The hinges are copper, and the overall condition is impeccable.

Antique Salt Box in Walnut Wood. We purchased this salt box with a European grouping, but, upon re-inspection, this may be an American piece. The lines are much more like early 19th century American salt box styles. Provencial examples are more plentiful, and this one could be a real find, indeed. Pair it with stoneware, spattered graniteware, or let your imagination be your guide.
Approximate Dimensions: 17.5"H X 7"W X 4.5"D
