Offering an antique American Belleek, Lenox, porcelain creamer and covered sugar bowl with lid. Both are marked on the base with Belleek / Lenox's early palette mark, 1906-1926. Both are signed by the artist "Betourney". The lovely Arts & Crafts hand painted design is most likely a Keramic Studio design. The creamer measures approximately 3 1/2" tall and the sugar is approximately 6" wide from handle to handle. The creamer and sugar lid are in excellent condition, no chips cracks or repairs. The sugar bowl has an old repair to one of the handles. Please see photographs as they are part of the description.

" Home decorating and craft magazines, such as  Art Interchange, Art Amateur , and, later,  Keramic Studio , helped to disseminate information by providing technical tips and suggestions for designs. Trade catalogues advertised a wide array of porcelain blanks, enamels, brushes, equipment, and even portable kilns available for sale through the mail. The invention of the portable coal or gas-fired kiln enabled amateur china decorators to fire their work at home, transforming their experience. Frequently ladies decorated imported porcelain blanks. Eager to capitalize on the interest in china decoration, American potteries began manufacturing whiteware and porcelain blanks for amateurs. For example, the Ceramic Art Company, founded by Walter Scott Lenox and Jonathan Coxon Sr. in 1889 and predecessor to Lenox, introduced a line of plain white porcelain blanks for amateur decoration, a practice that Lenox would continue. To advertise their wares, the Ceramic Art Company contributed eggshell-thin Belleek porcelain blanks as prizes for an amateur china-decorating contest held in Cincinnati in 1896.  

Of all the women working with ceramics at the turn of the twentieth century, none was more accomplished than Adelaide Alsop Robineau. In the course of her career, Robineau evolved from amateur china painter of porcelain blanks, to designer, potter, and technical innovator extraordinaire. Self-taught from china-painting manuals, Robineau moved to New York City as a young woman to continue her artistic studies and eventually became a china-painting instructor. After her marriage to Samuel Robineau in 1899, they began to publish the monthly periodical Keramic Studio, which she would co-edit with fellow china painter and designer Anna B. Leonard. Keramic Studio provided decorating designs by prominent artists and instruction for designers, potters, decorators, and firers. Leonard left in 1903, but Robineau and her husband continued publishing the successful periodical, which provided them with a steady income and facilitated her ceramic endeavors. Undoubtedly inspired by McLaughlin’s experiments, Robineau had turned from china painting to porcelain making in 1901. Her early work features carved stylized naturalistic motifs (2004.464), but Robineau ultimately employed myriad techniques in the creation and decoration of her delicate porcelains. She excised the clay body of her vessels and filled the carved spaces with colored glazes that she coated with a clear glaze and fired, creating a translucent cloisonné effect. She experimented with matt and crystalline glazes. Asian, Egyptian, Native and South American art frequently informed her designs (23.145). Upon her death in 1929, Robineau was accorded the rare honor of being the first artist potter to be given a retrospective exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art—a befitting coda to a remarkable career."
