Glassware Marks

The "F-in-a-shield" is the mark of the Federal Glass Company.

The "H -over- A" is the mark of the Hazel-Atlas glass company.

Anchor-Hocking marked almost all of its Fire-King wares but virtually none of its other Depression-Era lines.

Georges Briard Silver Rimmed Bowl

Georges Briard Silver Rimmed Bowl by HausProud on Etsy

They're asking $34.00 for this bowl on etsy.com.

I just found one exactly like this. 

Same basic condition, with some tarnish on the silver rim, but nothing that can't be cleaned.

I think it may be part of a chip 'n' dip set, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

Vintage Anchor Hocking Chip-N-Dip

Found two of these Chip-N-Dip sets at a thrift store.

They're missing the holder for the dip bowl, but we'll keep our eyes out for them.

Dorothy Thorpe Silver Rim Cordial

Found some of these great Dorothy Thorpe cordials at Goodwill.

Replacements.com is asking $33.99 each.

Vintage Flying Carpet Restaurant Plate

Fabulous, vintage plates from the Flying Carpet Restaurant.

Hand painted plates show a young "sultan" flying over the city on his flying carpet.  The edge of the plate is detailed in classic middle eastern shapes and red fezzes.

I can't find much on the Flying Carpet Restaurant.  I don't know if this existed in Milwaukee or if the plate was brought back from some other city.

So far, I have only found one other on eBay, and they were asking $10.99.

Sarreid Ltd. Wood & Bronze Bird

This was a really odd looking bird that I saw at a consignment shop.

It was so odd, in fact, that I couldn't resist buying it.

There's a label on the bottom from Sarreid, Ltd.  Made in Italy.

Sarreid makes furnishings for the trade.

Other Sarreid statues similar to this have asking prices in the several hundred dollar range.

This is a wood sandpiper offered on eBay for $379.00.

On 1stdibs.com there is a  Sarreid egg offered for $400.00.

Kupur Horse Lamps

Found a great pair of horse lamps, made of plaster and signed, "Kupur" on each.

Can't find much information on Kupur.

The best I have come up with is Kupur is a Russian/Hungarian artist.  He was active from the early 20th century into the 50's and possibly the 60's.

I have seen sculptures and watercolors from him, but not much.

1stopretroshop had one lamp like this for $42.00.

goantiques had a pair of 1930's Kupur lamps listed for $110.00.

Frank Moreno Ceramics

Ceramic planter marked "Frank Moreno Ceramics, USA" with a number 3.

Frank Moreno was a Southern California potter between the years 1950-1980.

Most early items were hand-thrown or handmade so they may show some irregularity.  Generally it is believed he was more concerned about getting a finished product, than making one with the perfect shape or glazing.

In later years he did cast items so looking for signs of casting can help to separate earlier items from their later counterparts.

This planter is a rather typical style.

It is the "3" size.  There were four sizes with "1" being the smallest and "4" the largest.

Prices on the web:
#1 Hanging Planter - $12.00 (alamodern.com)
#1 Planter - $35.00 (etsy.com)
#2 Planter - $40.00 (alamodern.com)
#2 Planter - $42.00 (etsy.com)
#3 Planter - $75.00 (ebay.com)
#4 Planter - $45.00 (etsy.com)

Holmegaard "Kabaret" Snack Set

Arne Basse hors d'ouvres set with teak or walnut tray and four separate Smoke glass trays ideal for dips and tapas.

The stackable trays, modelled on Wilhelm Wagenfeld's iconic 'Kubus' series, were produced by Holmegaard, and first feature in their 1963 factory catalogue as the 'Kabaret' series, form numbers 17841 (large) and 17842 (small).

They were supplied to Arne Basse of Horsens, Denmark, for use in their recessed trays of solid wood and marketed under the name 'Snack Set'.

Similar sets with 'Kabaret' trays are also known from Digsmed and Laurids Lonborg. For later productions into the 1970s the glass trays were replaced by cheaper plastic trays of similar style and colour, and so these earlier models are a nice find.

Kimiko Knights Shield Glasses

I found four of these vintage, silver, "knights shield" glasses at a Goodwill, then found four more at a consignment store.

Funky Skunky

Ellen found this at a consignment store and couldn't resist it.

I'll admit that I would have bought it if I had seen it first.

Hazel-Atlas Snack Set

Found at replacements.com for $11.24.

We currently have about 6 of these sets.

You can't see it in this picture, but on the other side of the cup is a tiny, built-in ashtray, and the corner is a cigarette holder.

I can just imagine people at a party walking around with these plates with little snacks on them and a lit cigarette hanging off the end.

 

Dorothy Thorpe Cream & Sugar

Found a cream & sugar at Goodwill which I thought was Dorothy Thorpe.

It had a wide silver band at the top.

A little digging, and, lo-and-behold, it was Dorothy Thorpe.

Saw this one on 1stopretroshop.com for $28.00.

Not a bad price considering replacements.com has the creamer (CR1) listed for $19.99 and the sugar (CSU) for $27.99.

At a different Goodwill I found a wide, silver rimmerd glass plate and bowl set.

I again thought of Dorthy Thorpe.

So, back to the internet ...

Found this 8" Luncheon Plate (LP) at replacements.com for $23.99.

And the small bowl looks like a Rose Bowl (ROSE) for $59.99 on replacements.com.

But I did find a number of them searching picclick.com.
