A rarity for our Exhibition this Saturday, can you guess its function? Porcelain , about palm-sized, beautifully painted with flowers and with a small hole to one side and large opening at the top: It’s a Posy Holder! The holes allowed the posy to be secured with a pin. Probably made for a wedding, it bears the initials ‘KS’ to one side and a tiny date the other - October 13th 1847. Unmarked, probably Minton, and definitely Rare! Preview it on our website ‘Preview’ gallery.... #mooraboolantiques #moorabool_antiques #geelong #antiques #antiquesaustralia #aaada #antiqueshop #antiquedealersofinstagram #antiquesarecool #antique_interior #interiordesign #decorating #centralgeelong #GeelongAntiques #VisitGeelong #VisitGeelongBellarine #CeramicSleuth #australianceramics #antiqueceramics #antiqueporcelain #posyholder (at Moorabool Antique Galleries) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3FzPBOHDi6/?igshid=eb505icy4t3b

An unusual 18th century porcelain sauceboat in our upcoming exhibition..... at first glance , it seems to be English - Bow made similar - but there’s a string of odd features.... turns out to be a Chinese rip-off, the Bow examples circa 1760, this Chinese version circa 1765! An English example must have made its way to China when new, in order for them to copy it so closely...... see it & many other interesting examples of 18th century ceramics in our upcoming Annual Exhibition, preview on our website now. #mooraboolantiques #moorabool_antiques #geelong #antiques #antiquesaustralia #aaada #antiqueshop #antiquedealersofinstagram #antiquesarecool #antique_interior #interiordesign #decorating #centralgeelong #GeelongAntiques #VisitGeelong #VisitGeelongBellarine #CeramicSleuth #australianceramics #antiqueceramics #antiqueporcelain #antiquepottery #porcelaine #porzellan #18thCentury #ChinesePorcelain #chinesecopycat #ChinesePorcelain #BowPorcelain (at Moorabool Antique Galleries) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2z0Q6cHA4Y/?igshid=1njnwu3zasj6q

Some lovely stonewares just catalogued for our upcoming exhibition, these have a complete surprise attribution- based on the mark on one, we can link the other 2 to the same maker: once known as the ‘Chrysanthemum Group’ due to their pretty flower mark on the base, which has recently been identified as Charles Bourne, a Staffordshire porcelain maker of the 1820’s more usually seen making Coalport-like pretty flower-painted pieces often with lots of gold on a deep blue ground. Part of our 2019 Exhibition, opens October 5th, preview now on our website.... #mooraboolantiques #moorabool_antiques #geelong #antiques #antiquesaustralia #aaada #antiqueshop #antiquedealersofinstagram #antiquesarecool #antique_interior #interiordesign #decorating #centralgeelong #GeelongAntiques #VisitGeelong #VisitGeelongBellarine #CeramicSleuth #australianceramics #antiqueceramics #antiqueporcelain #antiquepottery #porcelaine #BlueAndWhite #Sprigged #AntiqueBritishPottery #Georgian (at Moorabool Antique Galleries) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2eD12DnYOj/?igshid=1hp3vrgp6vhj9

A very charismatic faun playing his flute.... Original French Rococo from the 1750’s, he is beautifully made from bronze which has been covered with a layer of gold - ‘Ormolu’ - and while this continued to be produced for the next few centuries, there is nothing quite like the original. He will be a part of our upcoming Annual Exhibition, opens October 5th in our Geelong premises. Preview on our website ( although this chap has not yet been uploaded- should be in Monday’s queue ). #mooraboolantiques #moorabool_antiques #geelong #antiques #antiquesaustralia #aaada #antiqueshop #antiquedealersofinstagram #antiquesarecool #antique_interior #interiordesign #decorating #centralgeelong #GeelongAntiques #VisitGeelong #VisitGeelongBellarine #FrenchBronze #Rococo #FrenchOrmolu #Ormolu #Faun (at Moorabool Antique Galleries) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2YxUL2Hg3B/?igshid=mps009kuqn4r
