OK I see what you are saying now after looking at it again. I'm curious to why mine has Orlice stamped on it. They started making yelloware around 1830. I wonder when spongeware design came around and where or who started it . I never did a search on the begining of spongeware.

Here is a similar one from Germany.  They are asking $380.  http://cupboardsandroses.com/items/165.php

Sometimes I leave Google and go to Bing.  It is nice to travel once in awhile.

That one is close,but mine does not have handles and mine does not stand up it lays down flat. Kovals had one listed years ago with no picture for around 350 if I remember right but it did not have a spongeware design. This could have easily come from the black forest area. I remember the auction that it came from had some black forest boxes, dont remember what these boxes are called ?  and clocks from germany. I bought one of those clocks at the same time. Its been a few years .

This one is going to test the best here I think. I have found plenty of cast iron griswolds but never a yelloware pottery one with spongeware design to boot.

I tried over a year ago to get more info on this with no luck. It is a very large cake mold at over 11" long. I guess you call it yelloware/spongeware pottery Lamb Mold. The word Orlice defines as this > Orlice  (German: Adler) is a river in the Czech Republic. Part of the river acts as the international boundary between the Czech Republic and Poland. It is tributary of the Labe river, to which it enters in Hradec Králové. Its main tributaries are Divoká Orlice and Tichá Orlice. I posted on some site that gave free appraisals over a year ago with no response   I think it is german type mold but not sure. Age I dont know that either. I know its old   Value well not sure again on that. I know I have never seen one like it. Being yelloware/spongeware would attract those type of collectors and being a mold might attract other as well.

This is identical  to my Sellers brand cabinet. The only difference is mine does not have the glass. Mine  does have old glass knobs but  dont know if they are original to the cabinet.

Nice cabinet. I have a Sellers. If I remember I paid around 300 for mine 15 years ago. 300 - 500 depending what kind of wood and condition would be a start. Prices  have came down some with the rotten economy so take that into consideration. Just my personal opinion here,others might say different.

Yes butter churn would be correct.

I'm not coming up with anything. I would be guessing at a value. It would be hard to display this one in a house so that would hurt the value a little. I still like it though  . This would be a great addition to an old style restraunt for conversation.

I am no position right now to buy anything. I should be in the selling market right now. I just do not have the space. I have things  stuffed away in just about every drawer and corner right now. I am getting ready to sell a few items on that  big auction site. What do you need ? Another coffee grinder ? Old blue striped butter crock ? LOL
