I attended the mid-summer auction at Alex Coopers, strictly sticking to the North Gallery where all of the bargains are, and came home with a wagon-load of goodies! 
As usual, I went for the blue and white china,
and some transfer-ware.

I haven’t had a chance to translate them yet, but they seem like they’re satirical plates.
In addition to these pieces, I got some great silver-plated footed trays, and more silver pieces, a partial set of Limoges Haviland china, some brown and cream jugs that you can see in the top image and a pair of Staffordshire dog figurines. And some other things!
By Monday, a lot of these pieces should be on my Etsy shop, so check it out.
Can't wait to see it all Meg! Great scores!

Hi Meg,
ReplyDeleteI think that you SCORED Big Time. Blue and White is on its way back "in" and those French Transfers are great. Love the platters/serving pieces, too.
Happy researching today.
