This lovely little candy box was a souvenir from THE LITTLE WHITE HOUSE in WARM SPRINGS, GEORGIA. This was FDR's vacation White House for the duration of WWII, and the site of his death. It features a picture of the house on the lid of the box. The rear is marked with the Royal Winton, Staffordshire England marks and is impressed CANDY BOX. There is some age crazing on the lid only and the upper right corner of the box has a tiny chip, otherwise it is in good shape. Not sure of the age of this vintage piece, but probably late 40's, early 50's. Box measures 3 1/2 x 5 1/2. We generally ship to domestic customers by USPS Priority Mail, so buyer will add $3.95 plus any applicable insurance.

Scenes of Piccadilly Circus and Buckingham Palace are featured on this pair of vintage souvenir Salt and Pepper Shakers. The decals are nice and bright, and very detailed. Judging from the wear to the gold trim just where they would be handled, these are fairly old. They also have brass tops...both of which have split so should be replaced if you want to use them. Otherwise, for a collection, they are just fine. Shakers are just shy of 3" tall.

Pretty pink western style porcelain boot marked "Made in Germany" in red. There is also an "A" impressed in the clay. It was a souvenir of Auburn, NH . The boot stands 4 1/4" high and has no cracks or chips, although it does have a dimple from a popped bubble near the toe. The mark would date the piece to pre-war Germany.

Vintage souvenir of the Capitol Building in Washing DC. The photo has the same look as early tinted postcards, and it is set in a very ornate silver plate frame which is marked on the back "WMFM". Plating has worn just enough that some of the brass base is beginning to show through, but actually adds to the piece giving it a soft aged appearance. The chasing on it is quite lovely and very detailed with scrolls and florals (see close up image). The whole thing pops off the stand for easy cleaning or to be placed flat if one desired to do so.

A souvenir of the Cathedral at Reims, France, and a most impressive piece of intaglio cut glass with detail that is amazing. One can see right through the doors and arches at every tiny line. It was made as an ashtray, but I can't imagine anyone putting their old stogy out in this beauty ... seems almost sacrilegious. The piece measures 5 1/4" long by 4 1/2 " wide and the sides slopes 1" from the top to the base. The base is ground and polished. There is a little roughness at one of the base corners and it would appear 2" of one of the edges has been lightly re-ground and polished. Despite this, the piece is in overall excellent condition. Hard to date this piece, but from the look of the color, we would estimate it to be rom the 1930's or 40's. It is marked in the glass 'R C DEPOSE' . This piece displays beautifully.

A unique souvenir cup and saucer from Shakespeare's hometown we believe to be made by Davenport. Images of "Anne Hathaway's Cottage", "Shakespeare's House From The West", and the "Stratford On Avon Church" are featured on the saucer, the church and the Bard's house on the inside of the cup. What really makes this item charming is the partial transfer that reads, "Manufactured for Mrs. Latimer's China Rooms, Stratford-on Avon" on the base of the cup. The only mark on the saucer is an impressed "D" under glaze. The set is in nice condition with no chips and one age crack on the cup. Both pieces retain most of their rim gold, and both have light crazing. Dating from the late 1800's when black and white Transferware was popular. This set is an absolute must if you collect Shakespeare or English teacups!!!! Price reflects condition.
