This vase most likely was part of the Raymor line of imported Italian pottery and ceramics.


It stands 10 5/8 inches tall and is 4 1/4 inches wide at the base.  The heavy red base clay is glazed in a whitish tan glaze.  Using sgrafitto incising, the decorator created a large Egyptian figure carrying two pots.  There are also three cartouches on the back where the clay has been carved out and enamel dots have been added.  


The condition is very good considering this type of decoration is quite fragile.  There is a small flake at the rim that happened long ago.  I see no other damage. There are areas of the vase where the sgrafitti left some areas without the white underglaze but this is not damage.


The colors of the figure are yellow, orange, blue, red, green with a pink face, brown body and hair.  I have not seen many other Mid century Bitossi pieces with this decoration.  The base also carries the initials VP.  It appears that the botte vase may have had a cork as there is still one inside the vase.

It was made at the 1940 World's Fair when the Homer Laughlin Company had a demostration kiln there.  The plate is ink stamped on the back:


Joint Exhibit Of Capital And Labor in a circle around the words The AMERICAN POTTER, NEW YORK World's Fair 1940.


Though these are the easiest of the items made at the World's Fair by Homer Laughlin to find, they are still great Art Deco items for a discerning collector.


The plate measures 7 1/4 inches in diameter. It features a raised design of potter in a Medeivial garb throwing a pot on a wheel.  One sees the medieval town through the window behind the potter.  It is in excellent shape.


It is shown on page 240 of the Tenth Edition of the Huxford's 2005 book.  For a value, they give a range of $40-$50.  My price is much lower as I was able to buy this example quite reasonably.

Made in Bristol Vermont, this Moutain Kiln Pottery 5 inch tall ( to the top of the stopper) was made by either John F. Kennedy or Paul T. Kennedy, brothers who formed Green Mountain Wood Crafters in Charlotte Vermont in 1937 and worked there until a fire in 1942. 


Post WWII, they were located in Bristol Vermont until 1959. They moved into the former Sheffield Farms building on Route 22A in Vergennes in 1960, adding a gift shop where tourists were able to watch the wood ware being made. From 1960-1980 they had several retail locations in Florida, New York, New Hampshire but the most successful was in downtown Burlington at the corner of College and Church street, now Sweetwater's restaurant since 1980, though the Kennedy family still owns the building. 


The earliest piece I have heard of is a pitcher dated 1947. I do not yet know when the pottery stopped operating. I now know that whichever brother was not involved with the wooden ware Vergennes operation opened a store in New Haven, VT which was operating as late as 1971 when an acquaintance's grandmother stopped and bought some pottery marked as Pittsfield Potters there.


In excellent condition, it is glazed in a light gray glaze with bluish tones. The base clay appears to be a white earthenware. It is marked with the incised initials MKP and Bristol, VT.

 This approximately 38 inch All-Cloth 1963-1982 Knickerbocker Raggedy Ann doll has been previously owned, loved, and cared for. If her wig is taken into consideration she measures 40 inches or more; this is a rare very large Raggedy Ann. She has staining that looks like water marks on her face and a smaller stain on one her arms as evidence of past adventures. Otherwise her body is reasonably clean and free of unpleasant odors. She has all of her red yarn hair in excellent condition, black button eyes, a triangular red screened nose, and screened smile with all of her features and her screened 'I love you' heart on her body. The painted features on his face are rosy and clear. She does not have any holes or tears that I can find. She is wearing a pastel floral print dress, apron with its clear and legible Knickerbocker tag and original blue ribbon ties, and pantaloons. The pantaloons and apron's elastic have stretched some. Her legs are red and white striped like stockings with black shoes. Doll is in good condition, while totally original outfit is excellent and highly desirable. Price is reduced because of the face soil; value of doll would be much greater if she was not soiled, but this Raggedy Ann was simply too adventurous to keep clean; it is amazing her clothes are in such great shape.

This Noritake Art Deco 7 3/4 inch wide tab handled plate features a very Art Deco sensibility.  The main design is placed at the edge of the plate, creating asymmetricality and giving movement to the piece.  That is aided  by the tendril like white curving lines which flow across the piece. In fact, these are areas from which the typical blue luster glaze has been removed, thus negative space.


The central blossom measures almost 2 1/2 inches by itself.  Black lines radiate out of the center.  The blue center is surrounded by give green circles, surrounded by give yellow petals, surrounded by six white and orange petals.  There are four other partial blossoms, suing orange, blue, pink, yellow, purple and green tones.


Gold rimmed, it is signed with the blue Cherry Blossom mark, which is a Noritake Company mark.  As I picked this piece up reasonably, so have I priced it.

It is thought that this toothpick holder may have been produced until 1970.


This one stands 2 1/2 inches tall.  The main ruby staining is a panel upon which the words Ella and 1925 are written.  The enamel flowers are reminiscent of the type used by Jefferson Glass but are a bit less skillfully done.  In any case, it is a good example of American pattern glass from the 20th century.

I am a long time member and past President (1988) of the National Toothpick Holder Collectors Club. I guarantee the authenticity of this TP. For more info on toothpick holders as a great collectible, visit the National Toothpick Holder Collectors Society web page at (www.nthcs.org)  Produced by the National Glass Company in 1900, this toothpick holder was originally named Union, but it better known to collectors as Serrated Ribs & Panels.  It stands 2 1/8 inches tall x 2 1/2 inches wide.


This particular example has ruby staining on the Panels. The staining is a bit worn. I would say it is at 80-85%.  The glass is excellent on this toothpick holder.  


It is shown on page 47 of the Bredehoft book. The value they give for the ruby stained version is $140.00.  My price is WAY under that given the condition of the toothpick holder and the fact that I bought it very reasonably.  I don't collect ruby stained toothpick holders, so I am happy to pass it along to another collector.

It has secondary inclusions of chocolate brown, red, and white but its main colors are daffodil yellow and black, which are stunning on the green background. It has very little wear in its center when tipped to the light and retains 90 percent of the original glossy finish inside. Gorgeous glossy finish on the outside. FREE of chips, cracks, burns OR discoloration. You will NOT be disappointed!!

Recently one has seen a Texas Ware vintage speckled Melmac bowl on the counter of Rachael Ray's TV kitchen. In fact, in late 2007, Food Network is now having produced and marketing a "Garbage Bowl" in a deep pumpkin color under the Rachael Ray name. Crate & Barrel has also put out a set of melmac bowls under the line ZAK, but they just can't compare to the originals!  Here is a whimsical modern stoneware piece from David Gil at Bennington Potters in Vermont, which dates pre-1960 as that is the year they starting marking their pieces with shape numbers but not including the original Cooperative Design name in the mark. This plate carries the number 1240. . It is the same shape as pieces I own which carry the original Raymor line label. This 6 1/4 inch round x 3/4 inch deep plate with rough unglazed bottom has glazed sides at the rim and is signed with an early large version of the Cooperative Design Bennington Potters mark.


 The piece features a very stylized and abstract design of four rows of colored dots in black circles separated by black lines done in shades of pumpkin orange, teal, daffodil yellow and a purplish blue color on a glossy white glaze. A great fun and funky piece in excellent condition.  Looks likes lots of olives ready for a retro vintage martini!


David Gil's work in Bennington Vermont started in 1948. It evolved into a co-operative of different art potters and used the mark Design Cooperative until around 1960. They are among the few American studio potteries that turned into production potteries in the midcentury.
