Vogue Morning Frock Vintage Repro Ginny

Annemarie Davidson (1920-2012) learned her enameling craft first from the great Doris Hall (1907-2001) in Cambridge, MA in 1957. In California she continued her studies with Curtis Tann. Her combination of geometric and organic form in her designs culminated in her most celebrated abstract designs, her Jewel line which features pieces of glass used to create free-form organic shapes which she calls Jewels. She also uses a sgraffito technique, incising straight lines from the center of her plate with the sharp point of a dart. Now in her late 80s, she no longer produces work today as of 2011 I have been told.


This 9 inch diameter low bowl, most likely from the 1960-1961 time period, is a good example of an earlier piece as it does not features the lines usually found in the Jewel line. It also has a very unusual arrangement to the glass Jewels. This plate features 3 large yellow gold jewels separated by 3 smaller light and darker pumpkin orange jewels, all symmetrically arranged on the plate in a triangle between each major Jewel. This particular example is unusual in that the two colors of jewels used are not in high contrast to each other as on many of her pieces. 


The back of the plate has the remnants of the gold paper label and is signed with her charcteristic AD interwined intiial.  The label would have read Annemarie Davidson handcrafted enamels Sierra Madre California. Every piece was handcrafted by her alone, from start to finish. This particular signature is an earlier one based on the fact that the curves at the right top of the letter D are not perfectly square as on her later signatures.


It is in very good vintage condition with just two tiny areas of rim roughness. It is a scarce piece from her early period.


The work of Annemarie Davidson was included in the seminal exhibit titled Painting with Fire which opened in Jan 2007 at the Long Beach Museum of Art. She was one of 30 enamelists included with a one page entry on her life and work. Her page is page 266 of the catalogue.  2013 Vogue 7.5 inch hard plastic Vintage Reproduction My Best Dress doll, No.12SL114. She has a brunette flip wig with bangs and a pink ribbon, moving brown eyes, and painted lashes.  She is wearing a pink cotton dress trimmed with white lace and pink ribbon, a white lace edged slip, white panties, white socks, and black Mary Jane shoes. She is part of the Ginny Is... Collection. See Vogue Doll Co. Photo.  She is from a limited edition of 350. New, mint-in-the-box old stock with doll-sized comb and brush and certificate.  This Noritake Deco 6 1/4  inch wide lemon server has a great look! It is one of the most stylized Noritake designs I have seen.


The contrast of the primary colors of yellow and red is striking. The wild red, green, and black leaves with black outlines on the outside and cobalt blue outlines on the inside add unity to the piece and  highlight the asymmetrically placed white blossoms .The piece is in excellent vintage condition.  Red wreath mark in very good condition.


I guarantee this piece to be Noritake Art Deco.

Produced by the Morgantown Glass Company  in the period when they were known as the Morgantown Glass Guild which started in 1933, this is a pair of 5 inch wide dessert or finger bowls  in the Shamrock Green color.  The highest point of the bowl near the spout is  2 inches. This line in transparant colors started in the 1950s.


By 1958, it had been renamed the Decor line, which was the brainchild of J. Richard Haden who along with his brother Samuel K. took over the business from their father Joseph Haden.  In 1958, the first Decor by Morgantown" catalog was published.


However, when the Carbone Company of Boston, one of the major national Importers assumed the line as their own in the early  Sixties, the line became known as Crinkle. This line can be seen and is well presented on pages 214-215 of Jerry Gallagher's Handbook of Old Morgantown Glass (1995).


This pair of 5 inch wide finger or dessert bowls is in the Shamrock Green color, one of the harder colors to find in this line.  It is in excellent condition and ready to join your Mid-century home as you serve salsa or chips  on the veranda or patio (such great mid century terms). Price is for the pair.

They had a design office in New York City where current design sources would be used to send ideas to Japan for the Noritake decorators to use.  One of the most highly collected periods of Noritake production is from the 1921 - 1935 Art Deco period. 


They are renowed worldwide for their dinnerware but had a whole division focused on what was then called "fancyware", items for household consumption decorated artistically.  Though very reasonable in price when first sold, they are now collected by both collectors in the Western world as well as in Japan.


This octagonal bowl measures 7 1/4 inches in diameter.  It stands 2 inches tall at the handle. It has two tab handles and one can see that the mold from which it came had some in relief scrolls at the rim.  The entire rim of the bowl is decorated in 24 K gold.  The three large clusters of flowers are placed asymmetrically on the plate, a revolutionary idea at the time.  Another Art Deco common feature was the stylization of nature. The flowers and leaves are NOT painted in a realistic manner but are abstract and stylized.  


Another Art Deco common feature was the use of what are called speed lines, which featured three lines in the bands which contrast from the geometric nature of the plate shape. 


Noritake is well known for its luster glazes, the most common of which is tan luster. Their less common luster glazes are gold, silver, green, pearl, and yellow luster (also spelled lustre sometimes).


This bowl has only tan luster on it but it uses scarce colors of orange and crimson in the paint. It is in very good vintage condition with some very slight wear in the center but no loss of luster. The green Noritake Wreath mark indicates production between 1921-1925. Later the mark was in red.

 This is a striking Bitossi Italy Rosenthal-Netter large planter designed by Aldo Londi in 1974. The planter stands 6 inches tall x 7 inches wide at its widest point. This vase is part of the Rosenthal-Netter line of imported Italian pottery and ceramics.


The pattern on this Aldo Londi creation is called Moderna Marocco which is the Italian word for Modern Morrocan. According to Mark Hall in his recent book on Italian Mid-century pottery, this line was inspired by the blossoming studio pottery movement of the 1970s. As Hill states, high quality designs such as this took longer to apply and were more expensive, making them rare today. Unusually, this design does not include sgraffito or impressed elements.


Excellent condition. When tapped, it rings solidly.  Original Rosenthal-Netter paper label. A second label with the words Made in Italy stamped on one side in red and the numbers 266/15.  I have two other pieces from this line with labels. All have the line number of 266/. I have to conclude that the 15 is the shape number and the 266 is the number for Moderna Marocco.


In the Mark Hill book, the 10 inch version of this rare vase on page 72 is valued at 300-500 pounds. My price for the planter in this rare pattern is a bit more reasonable.

 Alvino Bagni (1919-2000) founded Bagni Ceramiche in Lastra a Signa in August 1946. During the 1950s and 1960s he worked closely with Irving Richards of Raymor, the American distributor, as well as with their competitor, Rosenthal-Netter. The United States became Bagni’s largest market with over 80 percent of the company’s production going there. Thousands of modern designs were produced over four decades. Though it is not possible to categorize Bagni’s work easily, the wax-resist technique, impressed geometric shapes, mottled brown or green glazes and high-relief geometric forms applied to the surface are hallmarks of his work. Many designs were also glossily glazed in bright colors in simple stylized patterns such as banding or swirling lines. (Mark Hill, Alla Moda). 


Red clay was used from the late 1940s-1950s, before a finer white clay was used. Bagni considered his "Sea Garden" design to be his version of Londi’s Rimini Blu design. The factory closed in 1992.


As far as signatures, production destined for Raymor or Rosenthal-Netter was often marked in different ways. The first and most common Bagni for Raymor mark is a painted mark comprised of an ‘R’ for Raymor, followed by a three or four digit number. This number is probably Raymor’s internal stock number. The second way is a Raymor paper label printed with ‘BAG’ and a similar number. Some Bagni pieces for Rosethal-Netter were marked with two digits, followed by a slash, followed by two digits. This was often accompanied by a paper label (Mark Hill, Alla Moda, page 216)


This Bagni vase is signed 30/3 Italy. The underglaze is done is a crackled glaze, an imitation of a famous Chinese glaze, and the predominant color of the glaze is a white with a spiral pattern of green, turquoise and cobalt blue rectangles. The inside is the same green used on the outside.. It is in excellent vintage shape with the exception of two pinpoint flakes to the glaze on the top rim. There is no damage to the body under the missing part of the glaze. All in all, it is in very good vintage shape for its 40 years.


The vase stands 8  inches tall x 5 inches at its widest point. Add it to your collecton of Midcentury Italian pottery, Raymor or Bagni today.  This amberina art glass footed toothpick holder stands  2 15/16 inches tall.  It has what is known as a Lazy Amberina portion wherein the division between the amber glass and the heat-sensitive red glass is not delineated neatly but flows further down on one side than the other.


The color is a deeper brownish amber than what Phoenix Glass company produced. As well, the foot does not have the continuation of the optic pattern of the body.  


It is my best guess that this piece is of European origin, most likely English or French.


In any case, it is a beautiful piece of Victorian art glass. The holder is in excellent condition with no chip, flakes, or cracks. There are some small bubbles in the glass body but it was manufactured that way.

Sprays of gold stemmed roses with white flowers decorated this 9 1/2 inch tall brass collared carafe made by Corning and decorated by Fred Press.  Here is some information I found online about Fred Press.


Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Fred Press founded the sculpture collection Contemporary Arts, Inc. and taught at the Vesper George School of Art. He is perhaps one of the most versatile and prolific of America’s present day artist designers. Hundreds of his original sculptures have been reproduced and collected.  His paintings, which have been exhibited in one man shows as well as group shows and competitions, have brought critical acceptance as well as prizes and have been acquired by such notable institutions as the Worcester Art Museum. His product designs, which have been distinguished by New York’s Museum of Modern Art with a good design award, have been executed in a multitude of media and distributed widely into virtually every corner of America. Fred Press is most known for his sculpture, but his unique glassware was popular during the 1940s, 50s, 60s and continues to be popular today!


This particular carafe by Corning can be seen on page 121 of the 3rd edition of the Mauzy Pyrex book.  They were sold both with and without a lid. They were meant to go on a wire rack over a flame on the stove to keep coffee warm. 


I say repurpose this item and make it a fun and funky summertime cold beverage server:  iced tea, lemonade, cocktails even.


There is a little wear to the inside of the neck as seen in the photo.  There is a slight scratch to the side of the brass collar.  Buy it and enjoy using it with no fear.

Alice has long blonde rooted hair with a black ribbon, painted blue eyes, and a closed mouth. She is wearing a blue dress with white pinafore, blue and white striped socks, and black Mary Jane shoes. Tommy as the Mad Hatter has platinum blonde hair under a giant aqua hat with 10/6 on it,  aqua and gold striped pants, an aqua vest, aqua with white polka dots bowtie, gold coat, and aqua shoes. The dolls come in a box with a Wonderland backdrop with the Cheshire Cat, a fold-out table with a plastic teapot and tea cup. There is a synopsis of the setting on back of the box. These dolls are mint, and never-removed-from box old stock. However, there may be minor dents on the bottom of the box or on the side.  This pinched Italian mid-century bowl is signed 81/SA Italy MNco.  Made probably for the line titled Mr. Norman, this was imported from Italy and retailed in the United States.  It has much in common with pieces from the Gambone firm.


The body of the piece is a white clay, covered with a speckled brown on white base glaze.  Over that has been poured a drip deep green volcanic glaze which runs down the exterior sides of the bowl.  The inside is pure glossy white.


It measures 8 inches long x 3 1/2 inches wide at its widest point and stands 4 inches tall.  I can see it on a nice McCobb credenza or on a great Midcentury coffee table.  Fill it with flowers or candy.  It is a practical and great piece of Italian midcentury pottery.

Like Winter, he studied at the Vienna Kunstgewerbeschule from 1927 to 1932 under such greats as Michael Powolny and Josef Hoffman.   In fact, It is Tischler who is credited with getting Edward Winter accepted into the school, according to the information on page 275 of the Painting with Fire exhibit companion catalog produced the the Long Beach Museum of Art, whose groundbreaking seminal exhibit opened in January 2007.


In 1935, Tischler visited Winter in Cleveland. During the visit he saw Winter's signature enameling method of immersing the metal in liquid enamel to achieve better coating than simply sifting powdered enamel on the surface. Tischler quickly also adopted this methold which accounts for the similarity in design between the two men's works.


His work was featured in the 1970 Edward Winter book called Enamel Painting Techniques. He died in 1993 at age 100. 


This piece featuresa yellow background. The center has an asymmetrical array of jewels in colors of red, blue, purple, pumpkin orange, and chartreuse on a pink groiund.  The sides have stripes or rays coming from the edge down into the center.  The whole plate was probably striped before the pink center and jewels were applied.  The back is counter-enameled in green and chocolate brown and is signed by incsing the words H. Tischler. It is in fair vintage condition. As often happens with enamel pieces with sharp corners, there is some wear to the back of the piece at the corners and 2-3 chips at the edge of the back. On the front, three of the corners have no damage and one has a slight loss of enamel.  Buy it in not perfect condition and add a piece of Harlold Tischler's work to your collection.  Vivien Leigh Paper Dolls in Full Color booklet by Tom Tierney is based on the costumes that Vivien Leigh wore in several of her moveis.

This vase is part of the Rosenthal-Netter line of imported Italian pottery and ceramics as it is carries an original paper label.


The body of the vase is done in a vibrant chartruse glaze onto which two highly stylized blossoms have been painted, one orange, one white.  It seems that the Rosenthal-Netter line was a brighter toned line than the Raymor Line.  One sees a lot of yellows and oranges on the Rosenthal-Netter line.

The piece is in excellent condition. Add it to your Rosenthal-Netter or Bitossi  collection.

Rosenthal-Netter Bitossi chartreuse vase

This Royal Haeger gem is the creation of master ceramicist Helmut Bruchmann who worked for Haeger from 1954-1969. His glazes for the Etruscan line are reminiscent of the other 'volcanic' glazes found on Mid-Century lines. The body is standard Haeger shape, RG-68 a bottleneck vase which stands 7 1/4 inches tall. 


The glaze is a dark cherry red with some shadings of chocolate brown with lighter gray tones. Glazed with a white glaze on the inside. Excellent condition.


 It is marked simply with the words Royal Haeger in raised letters and USA and the numbers RG-68. The Red Crackle glaze is known to collectors as Etruscan which was to imitate the patina of unearthed Etruscan style pottery from Italy.


 The Etruscan glaze was from 1966-1967 . The more common Blue and Orange Etruscan glazes can be seen in the Ed Blas book called The Royal Haeger Glazes on pages 152-153. The Red Etruscan in my opinion is the hardest to find.
