1930s Beau Geste Produce Crate Label
Colorful and striking, this authentic produce label seems to capitalize on the 1939 movie, Beau Geste, though the book came out in 1924 so it could be a decade or so earlier. The label is 6-1/4" by 9-1/8" and depicts a French Foreign Legion soldier blowing a bugle. The label says: "Distributed by Silberman & Gerst, Inc., Main Office Los Angeles California, Produce of U.S.A.". The label is in excellent, unused condition.

Tiffin US Glass Crystal Whip Cream Bowl Compote with Flower Cutting
This style of rolled edge comport was often called a whip cream bowl by the manufacturer, US Glass Company and produced at the Tiffin Factory R plant. It's larger than most whipped cream compotes though, at nearly 8" diameter at the rim by 4-3/4" high. The wheel-cut floral etch was probably done by Lotus, a Depression era glass decorator who bought blanks from most of the glass companies of the time. The design is virtually identical to their Marie decoration, except the example I found has a few additional leaves on the stem where this one has only six.
The comport is in crystal clear, excellent condition. There is one pinprick scratch or fleabite on the rim, and a tiny ping on the inside of the bowl which is basically a round, shallow scratch, not a chip or flake (possibly caused by a bubble at the surface of the glass). There are a few tiny, short scratches here and there which are common to glass of this age and aren't easily seen except under magnification.

Noritake Anaheim Oval Serving Platter
A 12" by 8-3/4" oval serving platter in the elegant Anaheim pattern by Noritake #3997. It's white with a very slight milky blue undertone, decorated with raised white-on-white raised flower garlands, beaded and scrolled floral borders over a palest blue rim stripe, and thin platinum bands. The effect is simply stunning in person, much more attractive than my pictures show. The platter is in excellent condition with no design or platinum wear. There are some short light marks in the center that appear to be more from stacking or storage than utensil use, otherwise no wear and no damage.

Old Clip-On Wire Frame Sunglasses in Leatherette Velvet Case
This is an old pair of wire rimmed sun glasses, designed to clip right on to your regular glasses. The dark green lenses are real glass of course. I don't think they're prescription. They come in a faux leatherette case with a brownish burgundy velvet lining. A foil sticker is marked "Standard Optical Co., Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Washington". The glasses are in very good condition, a bit dusty but no noticeable scratches. The case has slight wear at the corners and seams.

It is missing its lid but is in like new condition otherwise with no chips, flakes, cracks, or scratches. It has one pinprick factory glaze miss under the spout, which is common for Hall pieces of this era. With it's graceful, Moderne-Deco pitcher-like shape, it displays beautifully even without the lid.

Antique Hand Painted Stoneware Covered Casserole
This primitive looking antique covered casserole looks like a squat cookie jar, or a bean pot without handles. It is unmarked but was identified as Red Wing a number of years ago on a website that no longer exists.
It measures 7-1/2" diameter at the rim, about 9-1/2" at the center, 4-3/4" deep to the rim, 6-1/2" to the top of the lid. There are bands or rings at the top and bottom, and a cold painted pink, green and yellow floral design that has considerable wear.
The clay is yellow, and the brown glaze has some film (kitchen patina) that I was afraid to remove for fear of further damaging the paint. There is no damage to the pot aside from paint wear and a tiny nick or scratch at the rim. The quality is very good, with very few of the usual stray bits of clay or glaze pops and skips you would expect to find in this type of old kitchenware pottery.

Copper & Rhinestone Flower Pin
This pretty copper flower pin is rather large at 3-1/2" high by 2-1/2" wide. It is unmarked with two large clear stones in the flower centers. Jewelry is definitely not my forte, and I know the stones need to be cleaned and the copper as well, but I have left the pin alone, not being sure as to the best cleaning methods.

Victorian Milk Glass Dresser Bottle
This milk glass dresser or vanity bottle still has some of the original paint on the embossed floral and scroll designs, though it appears that most of the painted gold flowers above the embossed work have worn away. The bottle is 9" tall to the top of the stopper, which I am not convinced is original. The stopper has a chip in the bottom. The bottle itself is in very good condition with no chips or flakes.

Pretty 1940s Hand Painted Pottery Vase with Applied Flowers
I'm not sure who made this pretty vase but the shape and style is very typical of 1940s American pottery. It stands 5" tall and has stem handles and applied leaves and flowers in relief. The vase is not marked. Adding to its old-fashioned charm is an all-over crazing to the glaze, particularly on the undecorated back and bottom. The inside lower half has some water staining, and there is a tiny scratch to the paint on one leaf. No chips, hairlines, or cracks.
