Antique Schafer & Vater Pink Jasperware Sphinx Vessel | Egyptian RevivalSchafer & Vater made novelty ceramics from the late 19th century all the way through the 1960s. Most of it is too kitschy for me, but I REALLY love the Egyptian revival pieces they made around the 1920s. I found a pink jasperware box one day by chance & now Im hooked. This double sided sphinx vessel is made of pink & brown swirled jasperware with one sphinx bearing a green glass gem in its forehead. Refer to photos for size and condition: Very good.

I love everything about this unique pyrography piece: The beautiful art nouveau design

desk… Whatever spot needs cheering up

Presented in a period Victorian frame

and a great patina

The elastic at the bottom & the silk are both fragile & likely to break if the piece is too small for you

Condition is excellent save for the tiniest

Condition is very good with some fraying around the bead that hangs beneath the scarab and above the tassel
