Rare W.A. Pickard China Whiskey Set Hand-painted by A Passoni 1910 Scotch.  Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
This is a rare whiskey set with 8.5" tall decanter complete with gold stopper, 2- 2&5/8" tall glasses, and 8.75" gold rimmed plate. All with the Scottish lion coat of arms motif and Scottish tartan design. This pattern was titled "Scotch".  It was part of my Mother's collection.  I am not a collector or Pickard expert. I can see that all pieces are signed by the artist on top, and marked on the bottom W.A. Pickard China. I believe it was made around 1910 based on the size of the mark which is 13/32".  No visible damage or cracks, chips, or repairs. There are some smudges and dust. I am not going to clean it and risk damaging the finish, so I will leave it to the buyer to clean or not. Serious buyers, message me for more photos if you would like. This is a unique must have collectable.
The Pickard China story dates back to 1893 when Wilder Pickard established the company in Edgerton, Wisconsin. At the turn of the 20th century, Pickard was moved to Chicago where the company specialized in hand-painted art pieces and dessert and tea sets. Artists from the famed Art Institute of Chicago and all over Europe came to Chicago to decorate one of a kind ceramic pieces. These early pieces are now highly sought-after by collectors.
Today Pickard ranks among the finest china made anywhere in the world. The same painstaking craftsmanship and skilled handwork necessary to produce top quality ware has not changed through four generations. Each piece of china produced in the Pickard factory passes through a minimum of 21 stages and three 100% inspections, and is handled by Pickard employees averaging 18 years on the job. The Pickard factory is a rarity in that it is a small family business manufacturing high quality chinaware in an era of huge companies merging and acquiring, becoming larger than ever. Pickard's size is an advantage in today's market because of the care and attention that is paid to each piece. All patterns are decorated with 24K gold (never anything less), pure platinum and brilliant cobalt, with a style that caters to a niche of clientele looking for elegant, timeless upscale dinnerware.
Pickard China has over the years been selected to produce exclusive fine china services for heads of state and many prestigious hotels, restaurants and corporations. The King of Saudi Arabia, Hilton, Sheraton, and Marriott hotels, General Motors, the U.S. Air Force and the Queen of England are among a few who have chosen Pickard for their finest dining.
