$38 USDPair Irish Pottery Wall Vases/Pockets, Day Lily Pattern, circa 1940s
Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Irish Wall Vases
A lovely, lovely pair. These wall pockets (or wall vases) were purchased in an antique shop about 22 years ago. The shop's identifying stickers stating they are Irish Wall Vases are still attached! Each vase measures 8.25" x 4". Creamy white pottery is molded in a deep relief pattern of full and budding day lillies. Classic elegance with contemporary appeal.
$45 USDLarge Robert Wood Print on Textured Art Board, "Sunset Shore", circa 1950s
Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Lithograph:Robert Wood, Framed
Robert Wood is, perhaps, the most reproduced master in America. His contemporary paintings represent his favorite places and were painted from nature rather than photographs. This textured lithograph on linen weave art board depicts the majestic shoreline of the Pacific coast. A golden glow from the setting sun draws the eye from sky to sun drenched waves crashing to the surf. I have tried to capture in photos the quality of the lithograph that has expertly reproduced the palette technique used ...
$27 USDFolk Art Picture, Embroidered silk with Embossed Matting
Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Embroidered Art
An exquisite example of 1940s folk art. These hand embroidered red and brilliant pink carnations are artfully matted with pale embossed flowers and a gold foil inner frame. The heavy outer frame is 8 1/4" x 10 1/2" which appears to be darkly stained pine. A delicate and nostalgic piece.
$112 USDExceedingly Scarce Set of Four (4) Framed Chalkware Figures, Italian Street Musicians, circa 1940
Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Framed Chalkware Figures
Delightfully charming urchins gleefully playing their music for all to enjoy! Each shellaced 5" figure is mounted in a deep hardwood 9.5" x 6.5" frame. The background is textured deep forest green to best accent the creamy finish of the solid mold figurine. I have been fortunate enough to see sets of two figures (usually Victorian or Edwardian ladies and gents) but never have I found a complete set of four framed pieces. This set is not only charming but expertly detailed and superbly finished. ...
$7 USDFramed Natural Dried Flowers Hand Mounted on Corduroy, circa 1950s
Collectibles:Decorative
Just the sweetest piece of Montana I can think of! These dried specimens are artistically arranged and mounted on the perfect fabric to accent the "fuzzy" texture of the mountain beauties! A truly eye-catching arrangement nicely framed in "Five and Dime" frame with added hanger. So popular in the 50s, this sweet bouquet with stand out in any room!
$54 USDFour (4) Erma Gilliland Cameo Portraits, 1910 Mold, Poured in 1974
Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Erma Gilliland Ceramic Portraits
Absolutely charming! Each of these 11" x 9.5" ceramic pictures is molded with its own frame. The molds from which these wall plaques were made are from the 4 original 1909-10 drawings of Erma Gilliland, the founder of Duncan Ceramics. Two of the portraits have what, at first, appeared to be cracks but I have since checked with the woman who created these lovely images and she assured me that they are mold flaws and that the items are quite stable. I have seen these portraits painted by other ...
$15 USDTwo Dainty Deer Figures, Reclining Pose, circa 1950s
Collectibles:Decorative:Figurines
The bonsai tree that has long sheltered this serene pair is now tiny tinder but the deer are in excellent condition. Each deer measures approximately 2" x 1.5" Making them the perfect size to add fauna to your flora! The high gloss glaze protects the rich colors. You are sure to "fawn" over this petite pair.
$17 USDMiyata Ware Blue Vase with embossed Flowers, Marked, circa 1930s
Collectibles:Decorative:Miyata Ware Vase
This beautiful 6" vase is retro at its best! The painted pastel pink wild flowers and mint green leaves are done in a classic 30s-40s style. The double handles give the piece a well balanced and artful appeal. There is an interesting area at the top rim above one handle that is either a factory defect or a very well accomplished repair! It is glazed over but strangely flat. The overall age crazing gives a very delicate early look. Miyata Ware is difficult to find and not always marked well. To ...
$17 USDThree Mexican Feather Pictures, Exotic Birds, circa 1950s
Collectibles:Decorative:Mexican Feather Pictures
How retro is this? This three piece display of exotic birds made with real feathers and painted background is sure to brighten your day and complete your vintage room. So popular in the 50s, these birds are mounted on black cardboard and trimmed in gold edging. Each is stamped "Made in Mexico" and is complete with rings for hanging although, they would be spectacular framed. The unframed pictures are in two sizes, 10" x 8" (one large) and 9" x 4" (two smaller). The vivid colors and creative ...

Collectibles:Decorative Arts:Feather Art:Floral Bouquet
A full 25" of drama! Fiery orange poppies, puffy blooms and fern-like foliage made entirely of feathers are artistically arranged in an 8" gold and black vase. This one literally took my breath away when I saw it displayed with a small backlight behind it. Each of the hundreds of feathers is in perfect condition and vibrantly colored. The rich, vivid orange blends beautifully with the various shades of green in the "foliage". The arrangement of the seven blooms within the sweep of green shows a ...

As a result, nearly 200,000 people lost their lives including 210 school age girls who had been pressed into service as nurses. The peace memorial at Himeyuri, which translates to Red Lilly (the name of the girls' group), is dedicated to their remembrance and a promise of future peace. This lightweight tray with impressive graphics commemorates the prayers for peace offered daily at the site.

$28 USDArt Syroco Wood Trinket Box, Arts and Crafts Style, Blonde "Wood" Finish, circa 1940s
Collectibles:Decorative:Syroco Wood

This molded 7" x 4" trinket box has the "Hollywood" look of blonde wood in deco art carving. The original black and silver foil label identifies this a "Art SyrocoWood".

$27 USDOregon Myrtlewood Nut Dish and Candleholders with Wooden Candles, circa late 1950s - early 1960s
Collectibles:Decorative:Myrtlewood
The beauty of myrtlewood and the simplicity of mid-century design. The best description of this unique set is given on the back of the 6" diameter serving (tidbit) dish; it reads: " Oregon Myrtlewood. One of the rarest and most beautiful woods known. It is found only in a very small area on the Pacific Coast and in the Holy Lands. It is also one of the most ancient woods of which we have any record, having been mentioned by writers of the Old Testament. This article of Myrtlewood is a work of ...
$22 USDPair of Flower Vases, Handmade by Students, circa late 1920s
Collectibles:Decorative Arts
What a wonderful tribute to a teacher! These flower vases are made from a burnished brass alloy, laboratory test tubes and lots of love. At the estate sale where these were purchased, I had the honor to speak with one of the family and the memories and stories were astounding. This set has a small label on the bottom of one that hinted at a great story; it says "Christmas gift while still teaching, late 20s". I asked about them and found that a grandmother had taught at a country school in rural ...
$8 USDCeramic Birds in Tree Figurine, Made in China, circa 1955
Collectibles:Decorative
I can't imagine this figure sitting anywhere but on an electric organ - after all, that's where it sat in my mother-in-laws house for over 45 years! The splashes of vivid blue and pink give this 7 1/2" high gloss piece its retro look. A red stamped "Made in China" identifies this perky pair as a Chinese import. And it was so well protected by all the photos surrounding it on the organ, there are no chips, cracks or fading! A very fun addition to your retro decor.

Dainty lace edging and meticulously painted floral design add an additional depth to the figure. The 4" mandolin-playing gentleman is raised a full 1" from the background. The depth, detail and color are incredible but still overshadowed by the perfectly pristine condition of the plaque. The silken cord attached will ...
$43 USDChalkware "Little Drummer" Figurine, Ivory Oil Paint Finish with Gold Accent, circa 1930-40
Collectibles:Decorative:Chalkware
An engaging figure of a boy in jester dress playing drum and cymbal. The sculptural quality and charming expression of this figure is exceptional. The naive quality of boyish innocence is portrayed in ivory monochrome dress with gold trim and is furthered by the exquisite use of vibrant color in the child's blushing expression. Collectors first attributed American chalkware to rural Pennsylvania Germans believing that they learned their craft from "old world" German craftsman. However, the ...
