I am also beginning listing a very large collection of Moriage Lithophane Dragonware from preoccupied Japan. This is a huge collection with several lovely and rare or hard to find pieces.Here is a description of what lithophane means-


Lithophane- comes from the Greek litho meaning light in stone . Lithophanes are porcelain castings which when you first see them they appear to be nothing more than uneven surfaces forming a vague picture. Held up to the light,  you see the shades of lightness and dark.

the Sake tea set, which is known as a 'Whistling Bird' tea set as when the liquid is poured from the teapot it 'whistles' is an unusual and hard to find item. The cups have lithophane images of the 'common' Geisha on the bottom of the cup unseen until you hold the cup up to the light to see the geisha .

Shown above are the Dragonware serving bowl as well as a hard to find cigarette case with two ashtrays. Yes, these were used for that. All the pieces have the flying dragon in smoke grey and black color, with blue eyes. They were purchased I would estimate around 50+ years ago in preoccupied Japan

Also listed- an antique salt or pepper shaker Aunt Jemima, also pre occupied Japan on auctino as well. Lovely piece to decorate the kitchen with if you are into vintage.

Also listed are the teapot with sugar bowl and creamer, this large platter or tray which I believe the teaset sat on, as well as a single chipped teacup and saucer, 9.99 and a set of the wide mouthed teacups and saucers too.

I have more I am cataloging and listing of this collection. My husband and I have a large antique porcelain collection and are downsizing as it takes up so much display room in our home. The porcelain collection belonged to my husband from his parents, who traveled a great deal and lived for time in China, pre occupied Japan as well as Hawaii before settling down to live in Stafford Virgnia outside of Washington D.C. where they worked. Though my husband and I have enjoyed it, we have decided to sell the items so someone else can enjoy them. 

The collection has only been displayed, these items were never used to our knowledge or within my husband's memory, only for display. 

I also have plates, salad or luncheon plates, more teacups and saucers (smaller mouth) as well as dessert bowls or plates to list and catalogue as well, so stay tuned for more items to come. All above are currently listed. Thank you for browsing!

New items up on Ebay auction- Bespaq Louis XV armchairs

New items up on Ebay- some damaged Bespaq Louis XV armchairs! Right now I've listed three Louis XV armchairs by Bespaq, 1:3 scale, on 3, 5, & 7 day auctions. These armchairs are walnut with gilt finish. Low starting bids of 9.99, but get 'em while you can, these are some of the last TWO Boxes of these chairs. Once they are gone, they're gone.

REMEMBER- Our  Ebay auction link is HERE  ! I have 50+ auctions listed and I list more each day or relist them if they end! 

Chair #1- has one broken armrest 3 day auction

Chair #2 has two broken armrests, one leg is shorter than the others 5 day auction

       chair #3 has both armrests broken off, but they have their peg joinery so this should be a fairly simple glue repair.

I have begun to do a major housecleaning on my other private collections of crystal, china , pottery and glass. I am also including a great deal of Avon Collectibles, as well as Princess House china and Lenox crystal.
Up for me is a personal auction- as my mother asked me to sell some of her Avon representative pins- I have a lot on a 7  day auction now. My mother sold Avon on and off for about 20+ years, but from the early 80's thru 1992? I think she did it non-stop when I was ateen. (One of my jobs in the mornings on Saturday was to get up and lug the Avon order boxes in that UPS Delivered that morning. Most of Saturday was spent by Mom packing her orders and delivering them that day or the rest of the week and collecting funds. This was in the good ole days before the internet and Paypal.)
My mother was in the President's club for well over 10 years- and sales for a member who was in the President's club had to total $7000?? I think over a year or more. There were different levels. This auction of 24 pins are a combination of her rewards for reaching certain goals, or pins for selling a certain promotional item and that sort of thing. This auction for this lot of 24 pins that are rare, as only AVON President's club members received them astarts at 14.99 for 7 days

I have also begun to list some of my other Avon collectibles as well as Princess House china. My mother was a big collector of Princess House as were our friends and relatives and we knew a couple of the representatives and attended and gave a few of these parties so I had a big oppurtunity to collect the Fantasia dinnerware and Heritage items.

As well as fine collectibles, I am also moving some of my husband's Selkirk Metalbestos Industrial parts vent pipe stock thru my Ebay store as well. These are HVAC parts that are moving at a fraction of the cost on the industrial market due to - hey we're running out of room! For more information on the other hat I wear check out our website on our boiler company at LeoPaul and Associates . When I am not designing and creating in 1:6 scale, or sculpting, I usually am the Director of Operations in our office. Inventory of our parts and service is one hat I usually wear along with the admin part while my husband Chris does service and sales. 
Happy bidding!
