This vintage pink pottery mixing bowl ringed sides and measures 8" high x 3.5" high. It easily holds one quart with room to spare. There are 8 small unglazed circles around the foot where glaze either didn't cover because of sanding dust prior to firing or air bubbles that burst in the glaze. Two small chips on foot ring might be from manufacturing. Star lines in base are not visible on the inside and bowl is sturdy. Very good condition otherwise. Purchased from an estate sale.

Here are 2 Federal Glass individual casseroles or bakers with lids from the 1930's or 40's. They are milk glass or a white slag glass as there are slag-like swirls in the glass, but instead of a color variation, there is a texture variation... most of the glass is shiny, but the swirls are more matt and ever so slightly yellower in color. 2.5" high x 5" in diameter. Vertical rib pattern on sides. The countersunk lids also make good "coasters" under the casserole base and could be used as a small plate. Federal F logo on underside and the words: OVEN WARE. Very good conditon... no chips, cracks, or repairs. Purchased from an estate sale.

Here's an interesting old grinder or grater... probably for nutmeg, pepper, or other spices. Maybe it would even be useful for parmesan cheese? Faceted glass body with threaded metal push button grinder top. Interior of grinder reads: "DERLAN" INu.AUSL.PAT.ANG. I tried some peppercorns in it and it does grind them but not as easily as a newer twist type grinder. 4.5" high. It's a neat looking item, elegant enough to use on the table, not just in the kitchen. Short thin split in metal at the threaded edge but it still screws on and off properly. Purchased from an estate sale.

This vintage casserole was made by Hall China Company in their circa 1940's Royal Rose pattern. Blue base with silver band, white lid with roses, silver banding on handle. Interior of lid is marked in gold: Hall's Superior Quality Kitchenware Made in U.S.A. Hall made a high quality heavy white china like the kind we associate with hotel china.

It has been used but well cared for and is in very good condition. Very light tan on the upper ridge where the lid sits is the only sign of use I see. There are no chips, cracks or repairs.

Vintage white tab handle casserole and lid from Hall China Company. It is unmarked but those of you who are familiar with Hall will know this is one of their familiar casserole shapes, often made in red, cadet blue, and with various rose and other floral patterns. I've not seen an all white one before. It will go well with almost any dinnerware. Hall China is strong stuff, vitrified and thick, like the china made for commercial use in hotels and diners. It will hold up to heavy use and can be used in the oven and dishwasher. It has a couple of manufacturing imperfections that won't affect the use... a shallow ground/smoothed chip in the rim and a popped and glazed over air bubble near the foot. In very good condition. Purchased from an estate sale.

Wonderful McKee black glass salt and pepper shakers are Art Deco in style with step-down sides that Gene Florence's kitchen glassware book calls Roman arch. They look like little skyscraper buildings to me. S has mostly worn away on the salt. It also has a couple of little chips under the cap in the screw lines. Of course, these won't be seen... except by the person who fills the shaker with salt :-) There are some scratches and pin point digs on the back side of Pepper. Salt has just 2 scratches. Salt cap has some oxidation. There are no dents in either cap. 4-3/8" high. They are in good used condition with exceptions noted. From an estate sale.

We're offering a collection of interesting old mixing bowls this week... all purchased from the same estate sale. This one is a redware bowl with faceted shoulder. The brown glaze on the outside has some pale yellow speckling. The interior glaze is white. It's 8.5" diameter at rim and 3-7/8" high. It's very heavy... the type you don't need to hold onto to keep from sliding while you mix! It shows signs of age and use. The interior has stains and crackles. The glaze on the very bottom center is worn away and you can see the redware clay showing in the very center. It has a thin shallow chip at the rim which you can't see very well because it's in the brown area and the chip is brown too. It's a neat old bowl.

Vintage hugging rabbit salt & pepper shakers were designed by Van tellegin and are called Bunny Hug. Maybe they fall into the category of kissers because they look like they're about to. White with black tails and blushing pink accents on ears, cheeks, hips, and belly where it has worn a bit from all the belly rubbing that has occurred over the last 50 or more years. In very good condition otherwise. About 3.75" high. Shaker holes are on opposite sides of the bunnies, but on the same side when they're hugging, so you can grap them around the necks and shake both at once if you want. 4 holes on one, 3 on the other. Marked on base. Purchased from an estate sale.

This vintage wooden tray features a great silhouette picture of a band of merry men drinking and feasting in an old English tavern lit with candles. Could they be the archers of Sherwood Forest and Robin Hood? They're wearing a similar style of clothing... feathers in their caps, tight fitting leggins and leather boots. 17.25" long x 6-3/16" x 1-1/8" deep. Cut-out handles, dovetailed joints, protective layer of black leatherette on underside. Some wear to brown paint on top edges; a couple of scratches on picture surface as can be seen in photos; slight irregularity in surface at the neck of man on right side head of table; leatherette peeling up on one corner and at a few spots on edge could be re-glued. In good vintage condition with exceptions noted. It's a neat tray... the figures are reminiscent of some of Parrish's early advertising pieces and storybook drawings of the 20's and 30's.

Interesting early American hand forged double hook device is hinged with a large hand hammered rivet. It was probably made for fireplace or open hearth cooking... to hold pots or meat above the fire... although I'm not certain of the exact use intended. It's 14" long and opens to about 22". One hook is curled and pointed. The other is shorter and more blunt. It doesn't appear to have been broken as the surface is quite smooth. It has a great aged patina. We purchased it from an old farm estate sale here in southern New Jersey along with a group of kitchen hearth tools which we are offering today.
