Welcome to the Shantique Gallery web site! If you're concerned (as we are) about fake majolica out in the marketplace--Please visit our newest features: The Featured Fake of the Week and the Fake Watch Page! Each week we will be taking a close look at one fake or repro and each month we will be adding at least 4 more "fake finds" to the Fake Watch page. Each of these fakes or repros are currently available in wholesaler's catalogs or have been in the recent past and can be found now in various retail outlets. We hope that YOU will help us out by reporting any fake or repro majolica that you run across! A BIT ABOUT SHANTIQUE GALLERY We have been in business since 2000, and we pride ourselves on providing our clients with unique antique majolica and other art pottery of the highest caliber and personal service that is second to none. We are specialists--you'll find no cartoon glasses from the 70's here, or collectible McDonald's toys--only pottery, and only the best...and 99 percent of it is antique French or Austrian majolica. That is our passion, and it is that which we seek to share with you.
We take great pride in offering
you a wide assortment of antique French majolica from such esteemed faienceries as Massier, Sarreguemines, Frie-Onnaing, and
St. Clement (and many, many others!). If your taste runs more to the intricate detail of antique Austrian majolica,
you'll find plenty here from the likes of the Eichwald pottery of Bernhard Bloch, Gerbing & Stephan, Julius Dressler,
and Wilhelm Schiller.
We also hope you'll stop in and visit our Library where we have articles about antique French majolica, marks tables, and much more. We hope to make this YOUR site for information on continental European majolica and have many new features we plan to add in the near future. So bookmark us and check back often as new features are added. We look forward to a long and happy relationship with you! We are a proud member of:

Introducing the newest feature at Shantique Gallery: The Featured Fake of the Week Frie-Onnaing Maître d'Hôtel Pig Pitcher
The Frie-Onnaing Maître d'Hôtel,
or Hôtelier, Pig Pitcher is one of the two most well-known pieces produced by this faiencerie (the other is
the Coq Gaulois pitcher). These two pitchers also have the distinction of being some of the most copied pieces of majolica
