1941 Crooksville China Raggedy Ann and Andy Baby Child's Feeding Dish
This sweet child's or baby feeding plate was made by Crooksville China in 1941 though it is missing the usual mark on back. It depicts the original Raggedy Ann and Andy riding a cloth camel. The bowl measures 7-3/4" diameter by 1-1/4" and has a 3/4" rim.
The graphics are in good condition will little wear or fading. The bowl does have some fine crazing and some light staining around the outside edges of the graphics however, you can see this in the photo. The gold band at the rim is in good shape, about 95% intact and there are no chips, flakes, or cracks. This dish is usually marked Raggedy Ann and Andy Ware by Crooksville, Copyright 1941 Johnny Gruelle Co. but this particular piece didn't get marked.

Childs 1924 Uncle Wiggily Ovaltine Advertising Pottery Mug
This 1924 child's cup or mug was an advertising premium for Ovaltine, made by Sebring Pottery. It features Uncle Wiggily (often misspelled Wiggly) and Grandpa Goosey Gander arm-in-arm with the "Ovaltine House" in the background. The artwork is signed Lang Campbell, the original illustrator of the Uncle Wiggily books and comic strips. On the back of the mug is Uncle Wiggily at a run with the words "Uncle Wiggily Wants His Ovaltine".
Juvenile advertising china pieces were usually giveaways or very low priced. They were produced inexpensively and were often not the highest quality - the kids cared about the characters, not the aesthetics of their dishes. The mug's handle has a thin, small stress separation at the base which is under glaze and occurred during manufacture. There is crazing, wear to the blue band at the rim, and some pinpoint glaze fleabites at the rim, a couple of which have caused minor staining. There is also some staining at the underside base. The mug has no cracks, hairlines or structural damage but it was apparently much loved and used by its owner.
Circa: 1924

McNicol Pottery Sunbonnet Babies Juvenile Childs Feeding Plate - Candy For My Mandy
This sweet "Hold Fast" baby feeding plate was made by the D. E. McNicol Pottery Company of East Liverpool Ohio, before 1915 based on the mark. In the center is a sweet scene of one of Bertha Corbett Melcher's Overall Boys feeding candy to a Sunbonnet Baby. The phrase Candy For My Mandy is printed below. The plate is 8" diameter by 1-3/4" high. It's decorated with gold floral scrollwork around the edge.
There is some lightly stained crazing and wear to the gold trim. The decal also has wear but it's really not bad for being almost 100 years old - the colors are still strong and the scratches are not deep. At about the 9:30 to 10 o'clock position on the outer rim edge is a tiny sliver flake, so thin your fingertips will barely feel it (shown in closeup, third photo). There are also two or three tiny little fleabites or glaze pops elsewhere on the rim, even smaller than the sliver flake, and at least one of them is under the decoration - basically, minor roughness to the rim. You will also find a couple of pops inside the bowl, all from manufacture.
Circa: 1912

Purinton Pottery Jardiniere Flower Pot
I'm not sure what the pattern name is on this Purinton Pottery jardiniere or flower pot. Both the front and back are decorated with the same hand painted red 3-petal flower and leaf design. The jardiniere has a piecrust crimped rim and is 5" tall by 6" diameter at the rim.
There are no chips or flakes but there is some crazing (with staining at the inside bottom of the pot), and one glaze hairline at the rim. It doesn't extend down the inside of the pot and looks worse than it really is in the photo because of the staining. Marked on the underside Purinton Slip Ware.
Circa: 1940s - 1950s

American Belleek Hand Painted Roses Shaker
This beautiful fine porcelain single shaker with hand painted roses design is marked Belleek on the underside in green. It looks like the remainder of the mark appears where the stopper hole is, as there is some green ink around the hole edge, as well as the number 7 and the initial G. in black.
The shaker is 2-3/4" tall with six panels and a hexagonal top painted gold. The panels alternate with hand painted roses and leaves near the bottom. There is no cork. There are three very light, faint craze lines near the neck, no chips or cracks.
Circa: 1900 - 1920

Purinton Pottery Fruit Creamer and Covered Sugar Bowl
An open creamer and covered sugar in the Fruits pattern by Purinton Pottery from the 1940s - 1950s. One side is decorated with hand painted red apples, the other with yellow pears.
The pieces display nicely but each has flaws: a tight rim hairline on the creamer, a shallow glaze flake on the inside rim of the sugar, and a circular bruise on the lid of the sugar. Price reflects condition.
Circa: 1940s - 1950s

Walker China Childs Restaurant Ware Divided Nursery Rhyme Plate Red Riding Hood
This vintage 8-1/4" restaurant ware grill plate by Walker China of Bedford Ohio features transfer decal illustrations of nursery rhyme and fairy tale characters in each of the three divided sections: the Three Little Kittens, Mary Had A Little Lamb, and Little Red Riding Hood. The designs are in colors of red or pink, green, and gray.
The heavy commercial quality plate is in very good condition with some light utensil and stacking marks to the glaze but no damage. The date code system used by the company is a bit confusing - according to my books it could have been made in either 1939 or 1961, but I believe the latter date is probably correct based on the company's logo above the date code.
Circa: 1961

1940s Donald Duck Pink Pottery Baby Feeding Dish by Hankscraft
This charming deep divided childs feeding dish was made for Hankscraft, a company that specialized in baby or juvenile items and small electric appliances. It's pink and in the shape of Donald Duck. Donald's head pulls off so you can fill the bowl with hot water to keep baby's food warm. It measures 8-1/2" by 6-1/2" by about 2" deep (not counting the head).
Hankscraft contracted with several American pottery firms from the 1920s to 1940s to make their ceramic items - they did not produce them in-house. Red Wing Potteries was one of them, but this dish is likely not by Redwing due to the lack of a certain mark style used only by them (though the dish is identical other than the bottom to the Red Wing versions).
In excellent condition with no damage or wear other than a tiny glaze flake under Donald's cap, visible only when his head is turned upside down.
Circa: 1940s

Manufacturer: Hankscraft
