WM Rogers Antique Continental Silver Teapot


*SOLD* This gorgeous silver teapot is stamped on one leg with WM Rogers 800, which means that it is made of 80% silver (the standard in Europe, also known as Continental Silver, less pure than sterling silver). It features highly ornate feet, spout, and handle, and has a hinged lid. It is a heavy, heirloom quality piece of silver tea service. It has been washed but not polished with silver polish, so it has some vintage patina. This teapot is in wonderful vintage/used condition, with some light scuffing consistent with wear. There are some scratches on the handle (see photos). There is no denting or damage to the body of the pot, the lid fits and the hinge is a bit loose but works fine. The teapot measures 10 inches high and about 9 1/2 inches from spout to handle. I'm sure this teapot is close to 100 years old, and will probably last another hundred. A beautiful piece of history!

There are a few light scuffs and scratches that are consistent with age and use, but no deep scratches. The base of this decanter is thick, and the glass has a nice heavy feel. A simple and elegant, unadorned decanter!

Pair of Small Porcelain Dishes with Tulips and Gold Edging


This listing is for two matching porcelain dishes that are printed with matching tulip designs and have gold etching around the edges. The artwork is beautiful! The dishes are small, just over 4 inches across, are ever so slightly rounded square shaped, and would be perfect for teabag or spoon rests, or could be used as a small trinket dish or butter pat. They would even make beautiful springtime altar pieces. I have multiple sets of these, and some of the dishes have small imperfections that are original from manufacturing that may not match the photos exactly, but they are all in wonderful vintage/used condition with no chips, cracks, or other damage. They are sweet little plates that could be used in a multitude of ways!

Faux Suede and Gold Midcentury Ice Bucket

 


This gorgeous vintage ice bucket is wrapped in a burnt orange material that is almost fuzzy, almost velveteen - I think it is meant to be faux suede. It has gold metal edging around the base and the top of the bucket, with the top having a strip of brushed gold as added decoration. The lid is slightly padded, and fits tightly. The knob and handle are also gold. There is a white plastic liner inside of the bucket.


This classy midcentury modern ice bucket is in amazing vintage condition, with no damage, cracks, or discoloration. Considering its age, it is in wonderful condition. However, it is lightly used, and there is a small amount of scuffing and a couple of scratches around the rim - very light wear overall. The handle is sturdy and stands upright on its own, but is easy to turn. No rust. Fabric edges are perfect. The base has no maker's mark to say who manufactured this item. It measures 9 inches high (12 inches with the handle up), and 8 inches in diameter. Astonishingly beautiful, and wonderfully preserved piece of midcentury barware!



3x5 Vintage 1980's Ceramic Photo Frame


 *SOLD* This sweet little photo frame fits 3x5 inch photos and measures about 6 1/2 inches tall and 5 inches wide. It has a lovely flower motif on two corners that are printed with pink, green, brown, and periwinkle. This frame has swiveling closures that are easy to open and close, and the foot is sturdy with a tight hinge. The black cardboard backing is in great condition, only the tiniest bit of wear around the edges. There is one crack in the corner of the frame that I didn't even notice until I was taking a close-up photo of the corner (see pictures). It is not rough to the touch and only goes part way through the frame. There is a piece of glass to protect your photo. What a beautiful vintage frame!

Carved Wood Incense Box with Storage Drawer


*SOLD* This gorgeous Nepalese style incense box is intricately carved with two dragons on the front panel, has a hinged lid, and is lined with tin inside for safety. It also has a drawer for incense storage that opens out the side of the box and has a small knob. The drawer is 8 inches long and can be taken completely out of the box. The hinges are in good shape and work fine, very solid, and the feet are beautifully carved. The wood is such a pretty color and has a bright shiny varnished finish.



The box is 9 1/4 inches long and not quite 3 inches wide. It is sturdy and well made. This incense box is in great used/vintage condition, with no chipping or damage to the wood. There are some burn marks from previous use inside the tin compartment. Also, when the lid is closed, the left side of the lid doesn't quite make contact with the box. I don't think this is damage, but is how the box was originally built. This whole box smells lightly of incense that has been infused with use over time. It is a magical and wonderful box!
