Before the 18th Century, the water drawn from wells or public spring was stored in large wood buckets. Early 18th century water started to be stored inside the house in pewter, copper or ceramic reservoirs having a tap. These home fountains, a brand new market were combining usefulness and aesthetic aspects as many artisans and artists are competing to create extremely beautiful pieces which are now still with some family but mostly in local or national museums. This piece here is in pewter and was called "Table fountain" (larger one were on a wall) for water or herbal tea. It has a molded cylindrical shape with a rounded lid. The 2 lateral folding handles and the brass tap are held by grotesque masks. There is an illegible mark (the last name of the maker) on the tap.

Bronze Inkwell by "Barbedienne" Paris

Country: France     Period: 1880

Beautiful Bronze Inkwell with "Love Birds" by "Barbedienne". The F. Barbedienne Foundry, Paris was one of the few foundries to survive the Revolution and Financial Colapse of 1848 in France. This was achieved by actively pursuing contracts with many reputable sculptors of Paris such as David D'Angers and Jean-Baptiste Clesinger and many others. Ferdinand Barbedienne died on March 21 1891 and was mourned by many in the world of sculpture. It was said that he strove to the highest quality in his castings Albert Susse said of him that he was the "pride of the nation" and that that he "carried the splendor of our industry so loftily to all international competitions". The foundry finally closed in 1952. This bronze is a wonderful example of his high quality and attention to detail.

Pair of Regency Sheffield fused Plate Warming Dishes

Pair of old Sheffield entrée dishes and hot water stand raised on acanthus and scrolled feet. Once the removable handle is off the cover, the underside of the lid becomes a matching dish for the bottom piece. Lion’s masks and foliate handle atop cover itself with crest and motto “Ich Dien, Royal Fusilers, Welch” (see provenance P.S.)

Each dish has 5 removable parts, including the handle. Very good condition except for heavy scratches on the inside dishes below the cover. One of the covers has visible  copper patches. Dimensions: 13”W x 8”.5D x 9”H.
P.S.: The Royal Welch Fusiliers was a regiment of the British Army, part of the Prince of Wales ’ Division. It was founded in 1689 to oppose James II and the imminent war with France . The Regiment was numbered as the 23rd Regiment of Foot, though it was one of the first regiments to be granted the honor of a fusilier title and so was known as the Welch Regiment of Fusiliers from 1702. The “Royal” accolade was earned fighting in the War of the Spanish Succession in 1713. It is one of the oldest regiments in the regular army, hence the archaic spelling of the word Welch instead of Welsh. In the Boer War and throughout World War I, the army officially called the regiment “The Royal Welsh Fusiliers” but the archaic “Welch” was officially restored to the Regiment’s title in 1920 under Army Order No 56. During those decades, the regiment itself unofficially used the “Welch” form. As of 2004, it was one of the five infantry regiments never to have been amalgamated in its entire history.
