I first found the little apple juice glass but it seemed so forlorn by itself. Then, I happened on the frosted cottage scene glass and the green Hall ramekin and a set was born! These three display really well together, but could be used individually as well for Fall or Christmas décor.

1 - An adorable, clear glass, hand painted apple juice glass that was likely originally part of a set with a pitcher. It is unmarked as to the manufacturer but my research indicates likely from the 1960s. On the front is two bright red apples on a branch and the back has a single smaller apple. Both designs have green branches and leaves as well. No paint loss on any of the designs and no chips or cracks in the glass. Dimensions: 4 1/4" tall, 2 5/8" diameter

2 - A replica Currier and Ives red cottage scene on a 12 oz. frosted drinking glass. I found this glass on Replacements.com for $120!!!! That site indicates it is from Homer Laughlin and is a discontinued piece. It is also noted as Rare and Hard to Find. 1950s piece. Really cute scene in a brick red print on the frosted tumbler. The design is in amazing condition. There are some areas where the frosted coating has spots of discoloration. No chips or cracks. Displays well. Dimensions: 5 1/4" tall, 2 3/4" diameter

3 - Small, forest green ceramic ramekin/custard or pudding cup from Hall, marked Made in USA 351 on the bottom. Glossy green outside, creamy white inside. Perfect condition. 1960s piece. Dimensions: 2 1/2" tall. 3" diameter.

Sold as a Set of Three

What cuties! While they are not "high-end" ceramics, I thought this cute little set would be a nice addition to a summer time buffet or picnic spread. They are unmarked but I believe they likely were 1950s and similar to the painting style that was coming out of Japan at that time. They are simple white ceramics with vertical stripes. The front of each is embossed with two sets of purple grapes and a center colorful flower spray. Little designs create placards for the Sugar and Creamer labels presented in black on the front of each. The sugar bowl has two handles and the creamer a single handle. It is an open sugar bowl and from the appearance of the top lip, I do not think it ever had a lid. They are just so cheerful that I would find uses for them everywhere!

They are in vintage, used condition. There is some roughness to the top rim of the sugar bowl and some crazing on the inside of both. There is also a hairline crack in one of the handles of the sugar bowl, but it is still firmly attached. The paint and glaze are in really nice condition on both.

Dimensions:
Sugar Bowl - 2 7/8" diameter at rim, 2 3/8" diameter at bottom, 4 3/4" wide at handles, 2 1/4" high.
Creamer - 2 1/8" diameter at top, 2 1/2" diameter at bottom, 4" wide spout to handle, 2 3/4" tall

Sold as a Set of Two.

I have a thing for swirly milk glass from the past. There is just something special about the way it catches the light and is so smooth to the touch. This little piece is a perfect example of what I mean! This is the creamer from the Golden Shell Swirl collection by Anchor Hocking. The white glass has a ridged swirl pattern on the outside, smooth pearly white interior and shiny gold trim at the rim.

The bottom is marked, "Ovenproof Made in USA" with the Anchor Hocking logo in the center and the numbers 5 and 2354.

This creamer is in excellent condition. No chips or cracks or crazing and the gloss is very high on the piece. There is slight rubbing of the gold paint on the rim and the smallest ever little black dot near the spout.

This would be a display workhorse, for sure!

I thought this was a cute little piece when I spied it. It also has some very clever features that added to the appeal. On one side is a "pinch" in the ceramic at the perfect spot for your thumb, on the opposite side are vertical indentations for your finds. These features eliminate the need for a handle. The perky little spout and diminutive size and pouring abilities make it a very versatile piece.

It has a very organic look and feel with the soft beige/rose gold color and the horizontal ribbing. The entire surface has crackling which may have been the original finish, or signs of aging. The bottom has a small circular mark that has some lettering that I can not decipher. So it's origin and age is a mystery.

I showed it in the video with a cork that I had in my supplies. It is not original to the piece and has a crack on one side, but I will send along for reference for sizing. If you were going to use this on your condiment tray, only on occasion, no cork would be necessary. If you were to add it to your every day condiment section, a cork would make sense.

Other than the crackled surface, the only other noted issue is a small dark line on the bottom of the spout. It feels like the slighest of cracks but is underneath where anything pours out of the spout.

Dimensions:

5 1/4" tall
1 3/4" diameter of base
3" diameter of widest part
3/4" diameter top opening

This thermos is the type of find that makes my heart go pitter-patter. Such an amazing piece of Americana! This bright Kelly blue thermos with the Bakelite yellow cap and cup set is a Universal thermos produced by Landers, Frary and Clark in the early 1930s.

The following I quote from a Cooper Hewitt article: This ca. 1917 “Universal” vacuum flask reflects simple functionality in its columnar form, the metal body embellished only by fluting that also serves as a functional ‘non-slip’ surface. The screw-on cap protects the bottle stopper and does double duty as a drinking cup. Ultimately, Landers Frary and Clark’s competitor, The Thermos Co., had better marketing savvy, and has survived to this day. In 1965, Landers was acquired by the General Electric Company. While this thermos is not of the earliest vintage from the company, it is likely late 1920s or 1930s based on the markings on the base, the composition of the glass lined interior and the Bakelite lid and cup set.

The thermos has a very pretty blue painted metal finish and a screw-on yellow Bakelite lid with two smaller cups inside and a glass liner. The original cork is missing. Everything is in really nice condition considering the age of the piece. The thermos is embossed on the silver metal bottom: Universal Landers, Frary, Clark, New Britain Conn Made in U.S.A. There is usage marking on the blue surface, oxidation on the metal rims and a swishing sound in the glass liner when shaken of the thermos. The cups also have usage marks and age staining with the smallest cup showing a crack down one side.

Wonderful, wonderful collectible and an unique addition to a thermos collection!

Dimensions:

Thermos - 14" tall (with lid on), 3 3/4" diameter base, 1 3/4" diameter top of spout
Cups - 2 5/8", 2 3/4" and 3 7/8" diameter at base
2 1/4", 2 1/2" and 3 3/4" tall

What a fantastic piece of mid century advertising with such lovely patina. A CRISCO baking pan! Founded in 1911, Crisco was the first company to make a shortening completely out of vegetable oil. The pan is made of steel which is rolled over a wire frame and has envelope ends on two of the sides. They don't make them like this anymore! Really sturdy and a cool look into the mid-century kitchen!

The inside bottom of the pan is embossed in an oval with "Crisco For Frying For Shortening For Cake Making". The front side edge has EKCO 630 embossed as well, which identifies the manufacturer and style of the pan.

The pan is in good vintage condition considering it is over 70 years old but has a dark finish and spots of rustiness on the bottom and in the corners. It would not be useable unless a wire brush was used to remove the rust. Some discoloration from use along the outside rim. The spots where that has been cleaned up show the original bright silver color. With a lot of elbow grease, it could look like that again if that is your desire. I personally love the patina!

This could be great catch-all by the front door, a display piece on the kitchen wall or function as a serving dish with a liner for the next get together.

8" square, 2" side walls

What a fun tin to add to your tin collection!, or use for any number of interesting storage or gifting options!

This is a vintage Quimper Faience Hinged Biscuit Tin. The notation on the back indicates - Illustration Par Courtoisie de Faienceries de Quimper - HB Henriot. All four sides and the top have designs, the bottom, stamped Massilly France, and inside are shiny silver.

This design is the traditional Breton man and woman in the center top and flowers and leaves in folk art style on the sides. There is a blue sponge paint looking border on the lid.

This is likely 1970s or 1980s and in very good, clean condition. No rust. Some rubbing on the inside of the lid and dark scuff marks on the inside bottom. A few small dents in the lid that can be seen from the back side, but not noticeable from the top. The hinge works well and the tin sits level.

This displays well and could be just the final touch you are looking for!
