Vintage Christmas angel planter pot vase Napco Japan

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:19:02 -0400

$8.00
This is a vintage Napco pottery planter or vase. Please note it has a couple of condition problems. There is a hairline crack about 1" (2 cm) long on the upper back exterior. This is barely visible on the interior. There is also some crazing and ink stains on the interior bottom. These flaws make the little planter unsuitable for holding water or liquids, since this would cause more deterioration of the pottery.

The size is 4 1/4" by 4 1/4" (11cm x11cm) and the angel skirt has a spaghetti trim fringe across the bottom. This is a handpainted piece with metallic gilded accents. It would be great to display silk floral or dried stems, and also candy canes or other Christmas goodies or ornaments.

I do ship internationally, and cost of shipping will be based on location. Please contact me for exact shipping fees, which will be based on approximately one and one fourth pounds packaged weight. The Shipping cost posted for U.S. is also approximate for the farthest zone, or the flat rate box, and may be less for your postal zone. Please send your zip code for an exact shipping quote.

I believe he may be from the 1960s or early 1970s, and although no label, probably made in Japan or Hong Kong. The condition is good, with minor paint loss on the hair area and minor rubbing on the suit chest area.

Vintage Thanksgiving Christmas Tom turkey candle Gurley Candle Company

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:55:34 -0400

$8.00
This vintage candle is in great unused condition. The wick is like new. The only problem I see is that the right side of the tail had a slight bubble in the mold, so there is a bit of indentation on the bottom of the feather. This is a very slight manufacturer's flaw, and not a chip. These Gurley candles are collected, and usually are not burned, but displayed during the holidays. This turkey candle is 4 1/4" high (11 cm) and it has the original Gurley label on the underside.

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 15:42:35 -0400

$4.00
This unused Christmas card has a cut out snow landscape scene that folds up to create a dimensional border across the bottom of the card on the front and back. The card was made by the Wallace Brown Company, and I believe it may be 1940s or early 1950s, but the company also made cards in the 1930s. This card has the original envelope and both are in good condition with some slight mellowing to the paper, but no fading or soil. The colors are subtle golds, tans, blues and gray greens, with a red poinsettia and bells on the front. The size is about 5 7/8" by 3 7/8" (12 cm x 18 cm).

3 vintage shiny Brite plastic Christmas ornaments

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 09:07:46 -0400

$6.00
These Shiny Brite ornaments are different than other Shiny Brite ornaments I have sold. These are molded plastic, rather than mercury glass. They have an illustrated plastic band around the middle of the ornament. This band has been vacuum shrunk to adhere tightly to the round shape. I would guess that these were from the late 1960's, because the company had discontinued production by around 1970. Shiny Brite first started producing plastic ornaments in 1962. The size of these three ornaments is 2 1/2" in diameter (6.5 cm.)

Vintage Christmas angel linen kitchen tea towel or wall hanging

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 23:50:05 -0400

$6.50
I purchased this vintage tea towel as a wall hanging, but it can be used either way. It has a dowel with a cord that fits through the top hem, so that it can be hung on the wall. The towel is 27" by 16 1/2" ( 69 cm x 42.5 cm). It is made of natural colored linen weave and is printed with a Christmas theme and angel. The bottom has a quote from Charles Dickens. There are no stains or wear, and it has only been used as wall decoration. The shipping price quoted is without the dowel hanging rod, and may be slightly higher if you want to have this shipped, since the packaging would add extra weight.

2 Vintage Otagiri ski mugs skiing Winter snow scenes

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 20:23:26 -0400

$10.00
This is a set of two vintage mugs made by Otagiri of Japan. These are in excellent condition and have been used little, if any at all. There are no chips, nicks, or wear. The size is 3 7/8" tall by about 2 3/4" in diameter. These are the smaller size mugs, not the grand mugs made by the manufacturer. They hold just a bit over one cup of liquid. The color is a sort of ice blue. I believe these are made of a heavy porcelain or stoneware. Otagiri mugs are collectible and are one of the better vintage mugs, that I have found. They are durable and wear resistant.
These would be so great for a winter cabin, or for drinking hot chocolate on a cold Winter's eve.

Vintage Christmas recipe trivet porcelain tile Holt Howard

$6.00
This cute Santa Claus cooking trivet tile is from the 1950s or early 1960s. It is in good vintage used condition. I purchased at an estate sale, and I believe it has had only one owner. The back side has the four original rubber feet and the Holt Howard foil sticker, although the backing fabric has worn. The size is 6" (15 cm), and there are just a couple of very teensy nicks, fleabite size, on the edge. There is a hanger, so this can be displayed on the wall, also.

Vintage glass Christmas tree ball ornaments 1970s

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 19:13:50 -0400

$10.00
This is a box of 9 vintage Christmas tree mercury glass type ornaments. They are all in great condition with a few scuffs, and some nice patina. There is no cracking of the color. Each ornament has a design applied that is sparkle flocked to the surface. The size of the balls is about 2 1/2" - 2 3/4" ( 6 - 7 cm ). They were made in the USA by Coby in Woonsocket, RI. Each ornament has a little tag with the name Jackson, which I assume was a former owner, and they are each dated 1973 on this tag. All of the metal caps are original and marked, "Made in USA". The box has been taped on one corner and the cellophane on the box has a rip. The original price tag of 44 cents is on the box. I think these are from the early 1970s or earlier.

The card was made by the Wallace/Brown Company and it comes with the original envelope. Both pieces are unused. The size of the card is 5 3/4" by 4 3/4" (15 cm x 12 cm). I believe this is from before 1950.

Vintage painted Christmas angel figurine

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 10:05:40 -0400

$5.00
This is a vintage angel, most likely from the 1970's. It is made from some type of lightweight bisque, and it has a bit of a clunk sound when tapped with the finger tip. There is a paper x on the underside that is loose, and it covers a hole, so the inside is hollow. The angel is holding a black bird. Her wings have a dimensional texture, as does the trim on the skirt. There has been an antiquing glaze brushed over the painted surface. The size of the figurine is 7" high by 5" wide. This is a sweet and unusual piece for your Christmas decor.

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 19:32:52 -0400

$4.50
These two angels are so cute, and they have never been used. They are in their original packaging, marked Hong Kong. I think they are from the early 1980s. The angels are made of a hard plastic, and they have an interior cavity about the shape and size of a thimble, or the end of a finger. I don't know what they are used for, but a hanger or ribbon could be attached so they can be used as Christmas tree ornaments. The angels are 2 1/4" high or 6 cm.

There is a message about the Christmas spirit, and the ornament is dated. The ornament size is about 3" in diameter (7.5 cm ).

Vintage Christmas Santa cat napkin rings painted wood set of 10

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 19:34:26 -0400

$12.00
This is set of painted wood napkin rings. I believe they are 1980s vintage, and they were made in Taiwan. They look a bit like a Kliban cat, who was popular at that time. There are ten rings in good condition, lightly used. Only eight are pictured, but all are good. Both front and back are painted. Some edges have what looks like light wear, but could be just painting flaws. The surface of the rings is clean and unscratched. These rings stand upright on their bases, or can be laid flat. Each is 4" high by 3 1/2" wide or 11cm by 9cm.

Each black metal coaster has a porcelain tile insert with an angel playing a musical instrument.

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:17:32 -0400

$5.00
This is a set of unused Christmas cards for a child to color. There are eight cards and eight envelopes. They are not dated, but they were made by Current, Inc. and they appear to be 1980s in style. The cards are blank inside, and come in a fold over type of packet. The packaging shows a bit of age, but the cards themselves are clean and unsoiled and unmarked. Each card is 5" by 7" (13 cm x 18 cm ). This is a great fun project for your school-age child.

This vintage excelsior or straw stuffed Santa Claus is 22 1/2" tall ( 56 cm). He is in good generally clean condition, but his white plush fur boots are yellowed. His face is hard plastic or vinyl and it is not missing any paint or color. The body of Santa is a red cotton poplin type weave, stitched with regular thread, but the back of the hat and head are stitched with nylon clear thread. The beard is a glued on piece of white plush.

3 Vintage Christmas deer handcrafted wood reindeer

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 21:21:09 -0400

$10.00
These are probably someone's home woodshop project, but they are nicely made. They have that retro mid-century modern appeal and indeed go very nicely with Danish or mid-century minimalist interiors. One of the deer apparently had a run-in with Bowser and so was left with a couple of permanent bite marks on his right antler. But (sigh) it is part of his history, and not particularly bothersome. His nose also was nearly pulled off in the same encounter, as seen in the photo. But I have repaired his nose, so that his face looks normal. Each of the three deer has a plaid bow with attached jingle bells as neckline embellishment. The sizes range from 8" for Junior, to 11" for the tallest. Each of these creatures has two little black bead eyes attached with small nails for pupils.
