unmarked pottery & plates

[Raven31557]

If you had a small ceramic vase or a nice litttle plate from the late 50's - mid 60's and it had no maker's mark on it what-so-ever would you assume it's a generic piece sold in 5 & Dimes or similar places?

Seems reasonable, but it would be better if you could post a picture or two!

Don`t knock those little pieces from Five and Dime stores !!  Many are in the collectible area now !!   Would help to see them !!

[KC]

Yes all the above.  Love the see the pics!

[Raven31557]

You want pictures, you say???
OH. mygod

I'm trying to go through 70+ yrs of "STUFF" to get ready for an Estate Sale.
Also, I'm doing this one handed from a wheelchair with only part-time help.
>_<
hahahaha

I'll get back to you.

So sorry for your challenges.  Unfortunately we are not able to even begin to help without a picture.  It can make a BIG difference from little worth to great worth monetarily.  Wishing you the best!

Anything we can do to help,,other than asking for pics ??

hahaha
Yer gonna bee sorry yew asked fer pics.

Item #1 up for bids is a cute little *something* about 4.5" high.
The green looks a tad washed out from the sunlight glare but it's real purdy.

(I have about 7 or 8 more items to post and ask about.)

Item #2 is teeny.
It's only 1.75" high.

[Raven31557]

Item #3 is a cute little ginger jar 6" high.
It once had gold color around the inside of the rim.

[Raven31557]

Item #4 is a cream colored bowl with handles.
The pale blue-ish color around the bottom also tints the 2 handles.
4" high

Item #1 looks like it could be a celery glass or a celery vase!

Item #2  The green glass item is either a footed master salt or a footed sugar packet holder.  Would be interested if it is Vaseline Glass.  If you have access to a black light you should check it out!

Item #4 looks like a sugar bowl!

[mart]

The first one looks like maybe an individual parfait server to me !!  Last one looks like typical Homer Loughlin pattern !!  Both popular 1950`s and 60`s !!

I showed item #1 to an elderly neighbor and she thought maybe it was a cigarette holder.
Apparently in the 40s and 50s it was popular to set out cigarettes and a table lighter on an end table or coffee table.
I had a great-aunt that would have done that.


I'll have to research "celery glass" and Vaseline glass" to see what you all are talking about.
Too bad my black light from the 70s is long gone.
haha
THANK-YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
