Trail Painted Ponies War Pony #1452 Rance Hood 2004 Retired Original Box

by

From a carefully curated collection of Trail of Painted Ponies comes this retired figurine, preserved in excellent condition. One of the earliest and most iconic releases in the Painted Ponies line, War Pony (Item #1452) by artist Rance Hood, was introduced in 2004 and has since become a highly sought-after retired piece. This powerful figurine depicts a proud spotted Appaloosa adorned with traditional war paint, feathers, and symbolic shield designs. At its hooves rest a buffalo skull and stones, symbolizing courage and reverence in Native tradition.

This figurine is hand-numbered 18E/3705, indicating it is from the 18th production edition and individually numbered. It comes complete with its original box and story card/booklet. War Pony stands out as both a collector’s centerpiece and a tribute to Native American artistry. Edition: 18E/3705 (18th Edition, hand-numbered). The figurine is in excellent display condition, with vivid paintwork, intact details, and no chips, cracks, or flaws. It retains its hand-numbered base and includes the original packaging and story card. The box shows some light wear consistent with age and storage, but remains solid and protective. Check out the others from this retired estate collection; excellent opportunity to start a new display or add to your existing one. All are available in our eBay Store Connectibles.

by
We’re selling some very special pieces of Disney memorabilia, fresh from a serious collector with a great eye! Highlight of the collection is this FANTASIA BOXED LITHOGRAPH PORTFOLIO #352/500. This special boxed set has long ago sold-out and is extremely hard to find, if at all! It initially was introduced for $1800.

Our set is in new condition in terms of the prints which are pristine and mint. The outer box has a few imperfections (water spots) from storage as shown in photos but nothing that detracts from the magnificent art inside.  Save as a reference library or frame your favorites or even ALL of the 22 lithographs for a stunning wall of art. Each piece is numbered with the 352/500 on lower left and measures 20″ x 16″.
DETAILS:

  • On, November 13, 1940, Walt Disney’s FANTASIA premiered at the Broadway Theater in New York. To celebrate the film’s re-release in 1990 for its 50th anniversary, the Disney Art Program created this boxed portfolio of 50 images of conceptual art that inspired Walt and his artists during the making of this animated masterpiece. 
  • The portfolio was designed and its production supervised by Patrick Dooley. Mr. Dooley also worked with David Cleghorn and Esther Ewert with research and review of the film’s original artwork to select images representing each of FANTASIA’s eight major movements.
  • The pieces in this collection, reproduced by Gardner Lithograph in Buena Park, California, were printed on Mohawk Superfine 80-lb. cover in four-color process and duotone. The prints are faithful reproductions of the original art. 
  • Each of the 50 images were reproduced on 22 lithographs. They are placed in protective folders with an introductory essay and narrative explaining the scene, artist and original medium.
  • The portfolio box is covered with Iris bookcloth and stamped in 23-karet gold foil, handcrafted with the highest quality acid-free materials. This collection can be enjoyed for generations to come as it is truly a work of art. 

The FANTASIA Boxed Lithograph Portfolio has been produced in an edition of only 500; you are purchasing number 352/500, authenticity certificate on first page.  Take a look at some of our other Disney memorabilia in our eBay Store Connectibles.

Ezan France Antique Opalescent Art Deco 1930s Fleur 7-3/4″ Glass Bowl Signed Rare

by

Glass BowlWe’re delighted to be offering one of the prettiest opalescent glass antique patterns I’ve ever seen.

  • Signed Ezan, France circa 1920’s to 1930’s Art Deco period, with glorious rich coloring.
  • Bowl measures 7-3/4″ x 2-7/8″
  • Pristine condition, has been carefully stored for nearly 90 years!
  • Shown under regular lighting on a black velvet background; positively gleams.
  • No chips, cracks, repairs, flea bites – just ready for you to admire. Glass Bowl 2

From the internet research: “It cannot be ruled out that Ezan glass was produced at Choisy-le-Roi, where the finest quality of French opalescent glass of its era was produced. It only takes one look at the opalescent glass by Ezan, to know that it is a glass of undeniable quality and is `up there’ with the likes of Etling, Verlys, and even Lalique.”
Ezan was best known for their production of Art Deco opal table lamps, sconces and chandeliers, but offered very few bowl patterns. Our “Fleur” bowl pattern is one of the harder to find designs, making it even more collectible.  Ezan France Antique Opalescent Art Deco.  This and other collectibles Opalescent Glass can be found in our eBay Store Connectibles.
