A LARGE ROYAL VIENNA PORCELAIN RECTANGULAR PLAQUE OF THE MARIA THERESA SPRING AFTER JAKOB ALT
Royal Vienna Porcelain Factory, Vienna, Austria, 1821
Marks: impressed W, 821
16-1/2 x 21-3/4 inches (41.9 x 55.2 cm)
The large porcelain plaque with enameled decoration depicting the Theresienbad and the adjacent Theresiengarten in the Austrian spa town of Baden, after a watercolor by Jakob Alt. Most likely the direct source for this scene is from a colored engraving printed around 1820 by the Viennese publisher Artaria in a volume containing picturesque views of the various provinces of the Austrian monarchy (Mahlerische und merkwürdige Ansichten der verschiedenen Provinzen der österreichischen Monarchie und der benachbarten Länder).
A cup in the Twinight Collection, New York produced in Vienna in 1825 bears nearly identical decoration (Samuel Wittwer, Refinement & Elegance: Early Nineteenth-Century Royal Porcelain from the Twinight Collection, New York, Munich, 2007, catalog number 95, page 312).

AN AMERICAN UNION PORCELAIN WORKS CENTENNIAL VASE
Union Porcelain Works, Greenpoint, New York, circa 1876-1885
Designed by Karl Müller
Marks: MANUFACTURED BY UNION PORCELAIN WORKS GREENPOINT, NY, (raised seal) UPWC (eagle's head with S in beak), incised 2, signed under portrait K. MULLER, to relief panel UPW
12-3/4 x 10 x 7-1/4 inches (32.4 x 25.4 x 18.4 cm)
The baluster-form Centennial Vase with sculpted North American bison head handles, portrait medallion of George Washington to either side and a series of relief plaques at the base depicting scenes of America's history during its first century, multi-color overglazed division between plaques and ground of foliate swirls frame the medallions with oak leaves and acorns, berried branches and grape vine framed by a raised gilt band below and above a matt gold band, neck with leafed bands alternating with foliate bands in pinks, interior rim with oak leaves and acorns and fruited branches.
The design of this vase is based on a pair of vases created for the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, and is one of about sixteen known copies that measure ten inches shorter then the original design. This vase is one of a pair (the other example being sold in the May 21st Grand Format Americana & Political Memorabilia Auction #6060 ), but is of particular significance as it is incised with the designer's signature under the shoulder of the relief of Washington. The only other known signed example is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and it has been suggested that the inscription combined with hand detailing, also seen in this example and its mate, indicates Muller's personal hand.

3 inches high (7.6 cm)
The gilt-bronze piece with a section of cable at its core was designed by Carlo and Arthur Giuliano to commemorate the historical chess match played by cable between The House of Commons in London and The House of Representatives in Washington, D.C., in 1897. John Henniker Heaton, a British Conservative MP, and U.S. Representative Richmond Pearson of North Carolina planned the challenge, what is believed to be the only match played between the governments. Lasting two days, the match resulted in a draw, each side winning 2½ games. A souvenir chess piece made from a section of cable was presented to each player as a memento. The matches were held to promote goodwill and played in fun only, but the players took them very seriously.
