A DeSevres larger (10 1/2") fat-man-and-his-snuff jug with an especially fanciful glaze decoration featuring a sponge decorated base, blues, iron oxides, yellows, browns and greens. Impressed marked with a "J" and a blue "H" glaze mark. We think this is French, 19th century.
A large size bargeware tea pot, about 10" in height. The brown glaze is interrupted by colorful medallion appliques and the top is set with an acorn finial. In excellent condition except for the repair of the finial on the top.
A pair of glass parade canes each decorated with swirled colors and about 38" long. Parade canes were used for ceremonial purposes in the mid 19th century as well as decoration and memorabilia.They were hand made and many originated in New Jersey in the mid 1800s.Priced for the pair but make an offer on a single cane if you like.
Two matching ginger jars in Delft, each about 11 1/2" in height. Each signed identically as shown in the photo and with lids, on on the bottom: "L T Kan(?)". Each lid has damage and minor losses to the very top of the finials. Probably 18th century.

There six neat little drawers, each having little lion's heads pulls with rings, original black paint, a scalloped bottom and two small storage spaces on top below the gable. This was once attached to the wall due to screw holes through the backboard.
