The John & Rico Collection of

Antique Porcelain from The Drawing Room.

# 5055. A figural cologne bottle representing Nostradamus. Size: app. 8" tall. Incised factory marks {L.H.} for Lippert & Haas of Schlaggenwald. Incised numbers 838 which could be the date of production {1838}. The incised "L.H." marks are consistent with the 1830-1846 era of production for this factory. The polychrome figure is robed, wearing a black tunic emblazoned with orange and gold gilt medallions. The gray bearded figure wears a matching cap. The solemn appearing figure stands in a mesmerizing pose. Condition: edge flake to the back of the cap; there appears to be a glaze loss to the short plinth at the back of the figure; there is minor gilt decoration loss consistent with use and age; the cologne finial is missing revealing a hole in the cap. This is a rare figure from a little know factory (outside of its homelands). Johann Georg Lippert (a physician) took over the management of the firm in after 1803; appearing to own the factory by 1808 he made Wenzel Haas a partner and named the factory Lippert & Haas. The area of location for this factory today is Horni Slavkov Bohemia. Price: $950.00.
