Small Metallic Round Bud Vase

*SOLD!* This sweet little bud vase is a perfect sphere with a very small opening, and has a super unique glazing that looks like a combination of coppery metallic finish with a swirly, squiggly overlay of reds, pinks, and light blues that all have black outlines. As I've been cleaning it and inspecting it for damage, I'm realizing that it changes in different light, and it's hard to see, much less to photograph. I think the squiggles are semi-transparent, so that the light affects your ability to see different colors, and the underlayers show through. This vase is about 5 inches in diameter all the way around, with about a 1 inch opening. See photos for condition. I don't see any damage to this vase, no chips, cracks, or other damage. It has a few bumps in the glaze that are original. The edge of the opening and the foot are in good shape. What a cool ceramic vase!

Silverplate Footed Creamer by Barbour Silver Co

*SOLD!* This small silverplate pitcher was originally part of the #4002 silver tea service manufactured by Barbour Silver Co, which was founded in Hartford, CT in 1889, and later became part of the International Silver Co. This creamer measures 5 inches tall and 4 1/2 inches across at the widest point. It features a pretty foot and a squared handle, as well as a pretty beaded detail in various places. This creamer would make an adorable little vase or tiny watering can, or could be used to complete your silver tea set! This piece is in wonderful vintage/used condition, with no dents, nicks, or other damage. Only very minor scuffing, and surprisingly little wear for its age. It has a luminous silver finish that I have given a preliminary polish, but would probably brighten up even more with another scrub. An heirloom quality piece of silver!

Beautiful Primitive Wooden Ladle

*SOLD* This beautiful rustic ladle is made out of a carved bowl attached to a turned handle. There is a hole drilled through the top with a piece of blue twine for a hanger, which could easily be replaced with a piece of leather or other hanger of your choice. There is a crack in the side of the spoon, but it would probably still function for serving, although I could also see this as simply a piece of decor in a farmhouse or shabby kitchen. The ladle measures 14 1/2 inches long, and the bowl measures about 3 inches across. It is in good vintage/used condition, with no damage other than the split in the wood (see photos). Otherwise, the wood is smooth with a deep grain. There are a couple of black marks on the bottom, and scuffing and wear throughout. It appears to be handmade, and the bowl is attached securely to the handle. A lovely primitive serving spoon!

Cobalt Blue Blown Glass Vase

*SOLD* This beautiful cobalt blue blown glass vase has a deep sapphire color with a thick bottom clear base. This vase stands 7 3/4 inches tall and about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. It is in great vintage/used condition, with no chips, cracks, or other damage. It is a handmade blown glass item, so it does have some unique features. The mouth of the vase is ever so slightly crooked, and there is a small indention in the glass near the lip that is probably from a tool touching the hot glass. This vase is absolutely beautiful, with a graceful, slightly rounded shape, one of a kind and made by an artisan! No makers marks that I can find. There is some very slight scuffing consistent with age and use. Please look at photos for condition. A gorgeous piece of art glass! Purchase this cobalt vase now at www.ecoquirky.com

It has two handles, one on either side, with beautiful ridged details in the clay. It measures 8 by 6 1/2 inches, and stands about 2 inches tall. It is a shallow bowl shape that would make a great serving plate for fruit, or for a salad - it might be a bit big for a soup bowl. This bowl is in wonderful used/vintage condition, with no chips, cracks, or other damage to the piece. It has rustic imperfections in both the color and texture. Please look at photos for condition. The bowl has a slightly imperfect shape, and the glaze has a sort of eggshell texture. This bowl makes food look beautiful, and feels really good in your hands.

*SOLD* Double Wire and Rattan Hanging Basket

This beautiful double hanging basket is very large and has quite heavy duty construction, with two matching solid metal and wire baskets that have a rattan wrapping around the edges. The chain is more sturdy than a lot of hanging fruit or vegetable baskets that are flimsy metal. The metal is sort of a brown/gray color and has a kind of rough texture. The larger basket measures 12 inches in diameter, and the smaller one measures about 10 1/2 inches. All told, when this s hanging up, it is about 3 feet tall. Lots of room to store your fresh stuff! This double basket is in great vintage/used condition, with no damage that I can see. The wire is all intact, the baskets are solid, and the rattan is wrapped securely.

*SOLD* Vintage Wood And Tile Cheese Cutting Board

This beautiful vintage cheese board is made of wood with an inset ceramic tile and integrated wire cheese knife. The tile features a botanical motif with I believe holly leaves and berries. The wooden cutting board measures 10 inches across (11 inches including the wire cutting mechanism) by 8 inches. The bottom of the board has four small, clear no-slip feet.

This cutting board is in great vintage/used condition, with no chips, cracks, or other damage to either the wood or the ceramic parts. There is very little wear, and only one visible scratch near the cutting wire, which you can see in the last photo. Please look at photos for more info on condition. The feet are solid, the cutting mechanism appears to work fine, though I didn't actually cut anything with it. Overall, a beautiful cheese board with nice vintage aesthetic - it would make a great housewarming gift! You can purchase this vintage cheese board now at www.ecoquirky.com

 

*SOLD* Hot Pepper Handpainted Oil and Vinegar Cruet Set

This beautiful, bright cruet set has never been used, and features a matching pair of oil and vinegar cruets made of ceramic with a ceramic carrying caddy with a large handle. Each cruet has a corked top with a metal dispenser and a removeable plastic cap. This set comes in its original box with the original tag. Manufactured by Chesapeake Bay. It is in amazing vintage/used condition, with no chips, cracks, or other damage. I guess since it appears to be unused, it may be considered deadstock rather than a used item. The colors are bright and vibrant, and the ceramic glazing is super shiny. What a whimsical oil and vinegar set!

*SOLD* Ornate Blue Glass and Gold Vase

This mesmerizing little bud vase measures not quite 5 inches tall and about 4 inches in diameter at its widest. It has a repeating highly ornate design around the upper part of the vase in gold, as well as a golden fluted lip and a gold band around the base. I have seen this listed elsewhere as either 24 or 22 k gold. The color fades from pale blue glass at the top to a more intense sapphire blue color in the thicker glass at the bottom. This vase is marked with NR logo in gold on the side, and I believe it is Italian art glass, though these are most often made of cobalt blue glass, and the lighter blue color is rare.

This vase in in great vintage/used condition, with no chips, cracks, or other damage. There is one very slight imperfection in the gold design in one flower, where it appears as if maybe the paint was slightly smudged when it was being made. It looks to be original to the vase. It's hard to see and impossible to get a photo of. The glass is very fine and made so carefully. This vase is so pretty!
