SALE Beautiful Floral Still Life Oil Painting on Canvas, Roses in a Blue Vase

$300 USD SaleSALE Beautiful Floral Still Life Oil Painting on Canvas, Roses in a Blue Vase

Fine Art:Paintings
This romantic old still life of a blue vase with flowers is beautiful. It was obviously painted by a talented artist but is, surprisingly, unsigned. The roses are the stars of this; luscious full blooms in deep rich colors of creamy yellow and shades of reds ranging from light pink to deep burgundy. The other multicolored flowers and green foliage play second fiddle and artfully fade into the very dark background. The interesting wood frame is inset with a band of gilded florals and scrolls ...

$185 USD SaleSALE "Hall's Lifetime Toys" Living Room Suite for Small Dolls. Sofa, Side Chair, 2 Tables and Rocker

Dolls:Doll Furniture:Vogue:Ginny:Barbie
Hall's Lifetime Toys was founded in 1942 by Charles Hall, whose goal was for his toys to last a lifetime. They became the largest American manufacturer of wood doll furniture, using quality materials and professional cabinet makers and sold in FAO Schwarz, I. Magnin and other fine toy and department stores. This #215 living room set was made in 1965 of white gum plywood and upholstered in fine wale red corduroy. The tables and rocker have a 'maple' finish. The quality that Mr. Hall strived for ...
SALE Stunning RS Prussia Porcelain Shaving Mug

$85 USD SaleSALE Stunning RS Prussia Porcelain Shaving Mug

Porcelain:Men's Vanity:German:Bavaria
This old shaving mug is simply gorgeous. Made of fine translucent white porcelain with baby blue accents and a lovely floral design in shades of burnt orange, yellow, purple and green. This has been hand painted over a transfer in a method termed 'mixtion' and further embellished with applied white enameling or 'moriage' outlining the blossoms. There is a more demure pattern of yellow and purple flowers on the back. The pie crust rim and ornate handle are trimmed in gold. Some of this has worn ...
SALE Porcelain Shaving Mug with Hand Painted Forget-Me-Nots, 1876

$25 USD SaleSALE Porcelain Shaving Mug with Hand Painted Forget-Me-Nots, 1876

Collectibles:Vanity Items
The gently flared sides defines this piece as a shaving mug and we wonder about (and admire) Victorian gentlemen for their apparent lack of machismo as this and many such pieces from the era are decidedly feminine. Measuring 3 1/2" tall and the same in diameter, it is ringed in pink and hand painted with delicate blue forget-me-nots. These have survived intact but the gold embellishments and sentiment have faded over the years. This is marked '76 on the bottom and we may assume that this dates ...

This large and lovely pitcher measures 11' tall, 7" at the largest diameter and about 8 1/2" to the edge of applied clear glass handle. The body has a light iridescent wash and the graceful swirled optic pattern sparkles with a rainbow of colors and reflect the green of the frosted lid and foot. In very nice condition with some very light scratching especially around the largest diameter. Also has the tiny bubbles that are commonly found on this sort of thing. It is not marked but we have heard ...

The sides of the clear glass well also taper and its 1 1/2" diameter shoulder rests on the internal platform. This has been polished in the past. There was much white residue in the ...

The body and majority of parts are made of steel; the body from stamped and bent sheet, painted with a wood-grain finish. The wheel is cast pot metal.

In very nice condition with no paint chips. Some ...
SALE Retro Style Tin Trivet and Coaster Set

$15 USD SaleSALE Retro Style Tin Trivet and Coaster Set

Collectibles:Metalware:Hostess:Beverage:Entertaining:Barware
This little set is so cute and seemingly unused. The 7" round trivet and (8) 3 1/4" diameter coasters depict a courting couple done in the Pennsylvania Dutch style. The trivet has an insert of cardboard and the background color of this is lighter than the tin coasters. It is also slightly warped. No chipping to the coaster decals although the gold metal has oxidized slightly in places around the rim. These come in the original box which shows various uses for these. The pattern of the dishes on ...

$500 USD SaleSALE Pair of Ginny Dolls in Holland Costumes "Frolicking Fables" from 1952

Dolls:By Brand Names:Vogue:Ginny:Dutch
This adorable pair of dolls was made by the Vogue Doll Company in 1952; 8" hard plastic dolls with painted features, sleep eyes and blond Dynel wigs. Costumed in Vogue outfits from the "Frolicking Fables" series, all original and complete. These were found at a local estate sale and were said to have been purchased together when new and displayed side by side since then. Of course it is not possible to confirm or deny this but we doubt that these were originally sold as a pair due mainly to the ...

Dolls:Doll Furniture:Ginny:Muffie:Patio:Furniture
The Japanese were experts in copying the American doll furniture made in the 1950's. This set is patterned after the furniture made by Pert Pat Products and in fact is nearly identical. Just as sturdy and well-made but without the clear varnish found on the Pert Pat set and different upholstery material.

SALE Folk Art Diorama or Room Box Built in a Sewing Machine Drawer

$45 USD SaleSALE Folk Art Diorama or Room Box Built in a Sewing Machine Drawer

Collectibles:Folk Art:Miniatures:Room Box:Diorama:Clock Making
We just love finding these special objects that give us a glimpse into the life of the person who owned, or in this case, made it. This small 3 room 'cabin' tells us lots about the person who handcrafted it. A signature is on the back panel but is illegible; the date is 1979. A sewing machine drawer was divided into 3 rooms; a workshop for clock making, living area and water closet. Each are fitted with tiny objects, most of them handcrafted from wood or made of common objects found in the ...
SALE Inlaid Wood Cigarette Dispenser Scottie Dog Theme

$30 USD SaleSALE Inlaid Wood Cigarette Dispenser Scottie Dog Theme

The cigarettes (non-filter length) are loaded in the top and when the small drawer is pulled out the spring-loaded arm rotates up and deposits the cigarette into the mouth of the dog. This is a manufactured box, I have seen others like it, but some care has been taken in the finish work and details; the veneer is arranged in interesting diamond patterns and it ...
SALE Burley Winter Art Pottery Vase or Jardiniere, Plum Drip Glaze with Green Mottled Overglaz

$80 USD SaleSALE Burley Winter Art Pottery Vase or Jardiniere, Plum Drip Glaze with Green Mottled Overglaze

Pottery
One of the many potteries operating in Ohio at the turn of the century, Burley Winter is perhaps lesser known than its rivals and operated from 1892-1930 when they, like many others, fell victim to the depression. This nice pot is not scribed but it is shown on page #29 of D. Swingle's book as being #53. The dripped and mottled glaze technique is typical of BW and this example is a beautiful shade of mulberry with a grayish green overglaze. The classic urn shape with ring handles measures 7" ...
SALE Oil Painting on Canvas Cottages on The Lake Signed Lila Thornton 1963

$55 USD SaleSALE Oil Painting on Canvas Cottages on The Lake Signed Lila Thornton 1963

Collectibles:Paintings, Prints
This medium sized painting is so charming. The view of red roofed cottages overlooking a lake takes us back to carefree childhood summers. The execution of this painting is slightly naive but the overall effect is lovely; realism with an impressionistic edge and done in soft, but not quite pastel colors. This is signed in the lower left corner "Lila Thornton, 1963" and also dedicated to "Helen and Frank on their 20th anniversary, June 16th 1963 from Lila and Gray". This is written on the frame ...

Postcards:Print:Art
These two small (4 1/2" square) silhouettes depict two children, one a curly-headed boy facing left, the other a bonneted girl facing right. Both appear to be quite young and are probably brother and sister. Only one (the boy) is signed by the talented artist, Nancy Jean Witt, and is dated Nov. 1929. These profiles were cut from very thin black paper and mounted on a stock card. The oval is cream colored and was no doubt whiter at one time. The black area compared to the black paper of the ...
