Handmade Scandinavian Style Curio Shelf

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 11:36:41 -0500

$38.00
It is really hard selling vintage pieces that I would like to keep for myself, but sometimes you just have to share.

I can see myself using this handmade, handpainted keepsake shelf as a place to display tiny spring blooms in a little vase, or two or three in my kitchen, or I would hang it next to my door as a place to throw my keys when I walk in the door. It would also look very dramatic with a white porcelain sculpture of a miniature prancing horse or a place to set the scene for a collection of other miniature curiosities.

The colors of the wood and the painting are so warm and vivid. I think the teal used in the stems and flowers is an exceptionally good choice when paired with the cornflower blue of the blooms. I also really like the simple graphics painted on the sides and edges. Brass tacks were used to hold this shelf together. These details all make this keepsake shelf unique!

This piece is in good clean condition, with a few dings here and there that only add to the story of the piece. Unmarked except for a "D" stamped into the bottom (right hand side in picture)

Measurements are 12 1/2 inches tall from top to bottom, 4 3/4 inches at the deepest point of the slightly curved shelf and 7 1/4 inches wide from edge to edge.

These plates have some wear to the decoration. One plate is crazed badly on the bottom. The other is in pretty good shape.

Vintage Glass Dairy Case Signs

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 14:48:49 -0500

$25.00
My old pottery studio/gallery was housed in the town's historic grocery store, an old cream city brick building on Main Street. There was various memorabilia floating around from the grocery store days. These glass signs were some of the more intriguing.

Two of them say "dairy products" ... Painted in steel blue and white on the back of the glass so it can be read from the other side. These are in good condition with a few scratches. The other two are in really bad shape, but the ghost letters spelling out "serve yourself" were still interesting to my artist's mind.

I will include all 4 of them in this listing, but only charge for the two dairy signs.

All of them measure 15 1/2 inches long and 3 1/2 inches wide.

Pair of Silver and Glass Compotes by Amston 540

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 02:44:45 -0500

$60.00
Simple, elegant, versatile, these glass and sterling compotes are a must have for entertaining this season.

I can see them being used to serve shrimp cocktail, dips, nuts, rich chocolates, or fill them with vintage ornaments for a sparking centerpiece. They would also look elegant filled with decorative soaps in your bathroom.

The glass bowls detach from the bases, increasing the versatility for the pieces, as they can now be used for silver taper candle holders.

The 6 inch glass bowls have a delicately scalloped rim. The re-enforced silver bases have simple scroll details. Assembled, they are 5 inches tall.

I have left the bases unpolished as I found them. They can be cleaned up with little effort, but I never touch the finish on any vintage pieces before I sell them.

Rare to find a matched pair!

UPDATE: I discovered a crack in one of the glass bowls, so I marked this set down over 50%. The cracked bowl should hold up for decorative use. The sterling candlestick pair is still in great shape!
