This ca. 1900 English flow blue butter pat is porcelain and in excellent condition with its gold decoration intact. The blue is very dark. The pattern and maker are unidentified, although this is an English piece. It measures 3" in diameter and is 1/2" deep.
$440 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Graphic Red, White, and Blue Appliqued Quilt
Collectibles:Textiles:Quilts
This handsome and vibrant quilt, done in patriotic colors, just cries out to be hung on the wall. It is 100% cotton and is washable. It is clean and has been recently washed. The quilt measures 78" X 84" and was made for a full-sized bed. The pattern is both pieced and appliqued. I cannot find a name for this design; it is documented in my book, but as "name unknown."

Jewelry:Vintage:Costume:Gold-filled:Pins:Brooches:Sports:Bubble:Golf:Dog:Jockey
This interesting and unusual costume brooch dates from the 1930's. It features a horse and jockey, a hunting dog, and a golfer under glass bubbles. The life-like colored figures (the golfer is in a 1930's outfit) have a three-dimensional look. The metal is gold-filled. There are no marks. The pin is in perfect condition.

$43 USD SaleSALE Green Norway Silver and Enamel Butterfly Pin
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Norway:Enamel:Pins:Butterflies
This tiny butterfly from Aksel Holmsen of Norway is sterling silver with a gold wash. The wings are green guilloche enamel; the body is white enamel; the tiny eyes are black. The antennae are not enameled. This pin measures 1" across the wingspan by 1/2" high. The wings lift a bit, allowing the enamel to catch the light. There is a C-catch rather than a safety; this is an older (pre-World War II) pin. This pin is in excellent condition.
$148 USD SaleSALE Victorian Garnet Star Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Victorian:Garnet:Pins:Brooches
This classic six-pointed star brooch dates from around 1890. It has a very primitive reverse safety catch; it is one of the earliest that I have seen. The long hinge and projecting pin bar of Victorian brooches are present. This pin features rose-cut garnets in two layers. The bezel-set garnets are all intact and in good condition. The setting is base metal but may be polished to look like gold. It is 1 1/2" in diameter and 5/16" thick.

$28 USD Offers ConsideredSALE White Woven Cotton "Marseilles" Sham or Runner
Collectibles:Textiles:Linens:Marseilles:Shams:Runners
This 1920's long sham would have accompanied a matching white coverlet when it was new.

$16 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Hand-Painted Wooden Sailor Pin

It was designed to be held to one's belt with a belt clip. The chain is sterling silver as well as the frame, but the mesh, a slightly different color than the frame, is possibly not silver. The purse is in perfect condition. It is marked "Sterling W & D" on the inside of the frame. One side features an old-fashioned monogram "JMS."
$30 USD SaleSALE Hand-Wrought 800 Silver Pin or Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Pins:Brooches
This heavy, cast pin is beautifully finished by hand. The marks indicate a European country of origin, perhaps Italy or Austria.

$75 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Inlaid Wooden Marquetry Box with Eagle
Collectibles:Boxes:Wooden:Marquetry:Inlaid
This interesting box is varnished inside and out. The outer marquetry design is a veneer composed of strips of wood glued together to form a geometric design. The design covers every surface of the box except the bottom. Woods used are pine, oak, walnut, and maple. The molding around the bottom and the knobs are walnut.

The design of a full figure mother and her twin sons, possibly Romulus and Remus, in old Roman dress, and flanked by cherubs, is executed by hand with matching rayon thread; the color is ivory. The sheen of the rayon thread makes the piece glow in the light. The piece is shown on a full-sized bed; the spread is meant for a queen-size bed. It measures 94" long and 110" ...

Collectibles:Textiles:Vintage Fabrics:Drapery:Barkcloth
This 35" wide length of bright yellow medium-weight, textured barkcloth is 3 yards long. It is in perfect, unused condition. (Other lengths of this fabric are available as well and are similarly priced.) The old-fashioned automobiles and carriage lamps decorating this fabric are reminiscent of the "Gay 90's." This fabric dates from between 1945 and 1955; a decorating movement of that time revived and romanticized our past.
$34 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Zuni Sterling Silver and Turquoise Earrings
Jewelry:Vintage:Silver, Sterling:Earrings:Turquoise:Zuni
These finely crafted sterling silver screw-back earrings are Zuni Indian work. The stones are individually set and perfectly matched; they may have been color-enhanced. The earrings are in perfect condition. They date from the 1960's or earlier. Each earring is 3/4" in diameter.

Collectibles:Textiles:Linens:Tea Cloths:Deep Crochet
This simple, elegant tea cloth in pure white linen dates from around 1920. There is a geometric drawn-work design, done by hand, that forms an inner border around the cloth. The outer border has a 1 3/4" hand-drawn hem and 3 1/4" edging of linen hand-crochet work. The corners are expertly done. The edging was made just for this cloth and not recycled from an older one; it fits perfectly. The cloth measures 42" X 44" and is in excellent condition.
$36 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Linen Cloth and Napkins with Cut-Work Butterflies
Collectibles:Textiles:Linens:Tea Cloths:Cut-work:Butterflies
This lovely beige linen cloth measures 50" square; it has four 13" square matching napkins. It will fit a card table. The linen is of the Italian style, as is the Art Deco pad-work embroidery and cut-work that decorate it. However, this is not a commercial set; it is the work of a hobbyist of the 1920's. There are blue markings visible under the embroidery that indicate this was a kit. The rose and butterfly motif is charming and unusual. All pieces of this set are in excellent condition. The ...

$30 USD SaleSALE Machine-Lace Tablecloth with Romantic Colonial Design
Collectibles:Textiles:Linens:Tablecloths:Lace

$99 USD SaleSALE 10K Gold Persian Turquoise Ring

The cabochon-cut turquoise stone is a beautiful, uniform color. The stone measures 3/8" X 3/16" X 1/8" high; it is in fine, but not perfect, condition with a bit of wear showing. The gold is smooth and polished; the mount is in excellent condition. There are no marks, but the gold tests 10K. The ring is a size 5 1/2.
$175 USD Offers ConsideredSALE 10K Angelskin Coral Cameo Pin or Brooch
Jewelry:Vintage:Gold:Pins:Brooches:Cameos
The pretty lady on this cameo pin is carved in the classic Roman style; the piece is probably Italian. The pin is in excellent condition except for an old, soft-soldered repair on the hinge.

The purple and green fabrics are wool, but the orange fabric is cotton. The same orange fabric was used on the front and back. The quilt is unusual for an Amish quilt in that it is beautifully hand-pieced. The hand quilting is beautiful as well and measures an average of 8 stitches per inch.
