Vintage Globe China Shaving Mug Vintage, actually Antique, Globe China Shaving Mug. Globe China was only in business in East Liverpool, OH from 1881 until 1912 so this Shaving Mug is quite old. It was likely part of a Victorian Toilet Set which included a Chamber Pot as well as a Covered Soap Dish and Bowl and Pitcher Set. It stands 3 3/4'' tall, 4'' in diameter and 4 3/4'' wide including handle. This shaving mug is white with turquoise shading and embossed floral pattern encircling the upper and lower sections. It is marked with the Globe China logo (hard to read) used from 1888 until 1912 and XXP initials. There is a small paint rub on the bottom rim and what appears to be a small cut into the upper section--it actually looks like a fingernail that cut into the clay--visible on the outside only--see photo 2. Overall very good condition for it's age and original use.

Vintage Covered Soap Dish and Shaving Mug Vanity Set Vintage Covered Soap Dish and Shaving Mug Vanity or Bath Set in pretty floral violets pattern with gold trim. Marked Semi-Porcelain, bow and arrow logo (no manufacturer name) and artists initials. While the complete mark is not visible I was able to locate a matching piece to this set in an antique mall. It is marked as above with the KTAK initials for Knowles, Taylor & Knowles legible. The company started in 1853 as Knowles and Harvey, changing to Knowles, Taylor & Knowles in 1872 and used until 1929 when they were purchased by the American China Company. Very good vintage condition with pinpoint black speck on the underside of the cover, gentle all-over age crazing and a small area where the lines have darkened (see pics) but glaze is smooth and intact. Knowles, Taylor and Knowles and many of the old china companies others made these pieces as part of the bedroom / bathroom chamber sets during the turn of the last century. Not surprisingly, few pieces of these sets survived intact. This pretty soap dish and shaving mug set is perfect for the Victorian or Cottage decor.

Vintage Crystal Perfume Bottle with Brass Top Vintage Crystal Perfume Bottle with Brass Top and glass stopper insert. We believe this unmarked perfume bottle with paneled sides was made in the 1920s-1930s era. It appears to be mold blown with a polished pontil on the base. It measures 4 1/8'' tall and 1 1/4'' in diameter. There is a tiny fleabite on the inner rim (can't see with lid on) and a small dimple on the brass top--not bad for a vintage bottle. The old perfume bottles were not originally made specifically for any one fragrance or perfume company. They were bought, filled and re-filled with the ladies favorite scent. We have not cleaned the inside, so Grandmother's original scent lingers. You could, of course, replace it with your own.

England Cottage Decal Pitcher & Bowl Wash Basin Set England Porcelain 4 Piece Wash Basin Set with large Pitcher and Bowl, chamber pot and vase/toothbrush holder. This set has a colorfully decorated, almost an airbrushed quality, background and cottage decals--the pictures do not do it justice. The pitcher measures 10 3/4'' tall and the bowl is 15'' in diameter. It is marked with an incised Made in England. One piece has CHALET incised also which may be a pattern name--we cannot locate a company with that name. I do not know the age, but the previous owner said it was purchased in England in the late 1960s by her parents. There are no hairlines, chips or cracks. There is very faint clear crackling to the glaze on the bowl--very hard to see--and a few paint skips and rubs. This is a very handsome set to display in a Victorian or cottage decor.

Retro Orange Red Glass Powder Jar Retro Dark Red/Orange Glass Powder Jar with Metal Lid decorated with a wide gold band and gold flowers. The glass base is heavy with a swirl design and measures 5 1/2'' in diameter. It has a small section of the original sticker remaining, says only NC., N.Y. and the number 5--so likely the distributor or retail store that originally sold it. There are a few tiny specks of the color missing on the interior rim (hard to notice) and a small flake off the foil on the lid--you could touch the color up if desired. Overall just gentle aging to the decoration and perfect for the vintage vanity.

Goldtone Beveled Glass Jewelry Box Case Lovely Vintage Goldtone Gilt Lacey Filigree Openwork Square Jewelry Box or Jewelry Case. Has a Beveled Glass top with an applied bird and flower enhanced decoration (similar to Matson). I'm not sure the bird & flower is original to the piece. The ladies of the 1950s often added their own decorative touch to such items and this was applied slightly off-center. Has yellow velveteen lining that is slightly discolored. There is a small green spot of trapped paper visible in the photos--now removed. The goldtone metal frame with 4 small feet is in very good condition. It measures 4 1/8'' long, 4 3/4'' wide and 2 3/4'' tall. This lacey, feminine estate sale find is waiting to hold your treasures.

Estee Lauder ''Jewelers Enamel'' Solid Perfume Compact Estee Lauder ''Jewelers Enamel'' Solid Perfume Compact from 1981. This oblong compact comes in a silvertone finish with inset dark blue marbelized enamel. It originally contained the ''Youth Dew'' fragrance. No perfume remains but the scent lingers when it is opened. The silver label on the backside is partially worn away. It is marked with the Estee Lauder logo inside. There are a couple of teeny, superficial scratches on the backside noticeable when held to the light. This is a very nice addition to a solid perfume collection. It was difficult to photograph. There are some light flashes that change the silver color, so the pictures do not do it justice. The 2002 BV for this compact is $100-125.
