Great vintage pottery vase featuring the froggy goes a courtin' motif of a frog strumming his guitar and presumably belting out (or maybe croaking out?) his love songs over the swamp. Semi matte finish with no cracks or chips. There is one defect--a tiny burst bubble near the top of froggy's head. Impressed USA in the clay. We date this to late 50's early 60's, but could be much earlier.

A very pretty, hand-painted strawberry motif decorates this nicely done display piece by the ‘California Pottery’ house of ‘Florencita’. We are not familiar with this particular studio, but from the color and design we think it is from the 1950’s or 60’s. The piece does have overall crazing under the glaze, and there is a fair amount of wear on the base even though it has holes for hanging so we can be reasonably sure it is not new. Measuring 8 1/2 ” - 8 5/8 ” diagonally and about 5 3/8” across it would be a nice decoration for a retro kitchen or garden room.

Very attractive 3 piece console set in ivory color glaze from Rumrill Pottery. The set has a shell shaped 6 1/2 x 3” high bowl and two matching candle holders. One holder does have small rim flake (see photo) and the bowl has some light age crazing on the interior. Otherwise, pretty good condition considering it dates to the mid 30’s. Rumrill Pottery was located in Little Rock, Arkansas and only operated from 1933-1938. It was an offshoot, of sorts, from Redwing, when George Rumrill decided to strike out on his own. The bowl is marked in the clay “Rumrill H29”.
