Milk Glass

Image
Hi, welcome to our Little Shop of Treasures blog.  Today we are featuring a couple of milk glass items from our Etsy shop. Three Vintage Bud Vases Take a look at these vases. Aren't they gorgeous? Simple - refreshing. We have three vintage milk glass bud vases by E.O. Brody Company.  All three of these vases are similar in height (six inches), colour and shape. I think it's cool that they each start out with hexagon bases of 2 1/4 inches and transform into small round openings measuring 1 1/4 inches. The bud vases do share similarities but there are also some variations. The embossed designs are all different and offer textural interest which is exactly what we want when all of them are the same colour. Vintage Anchor Hocking Candy Dish Our shop currently has this Anchor Hocking Milk Glass Candy Dish.  This is a magnificent footed dish with a lid features an embossed grape vine motif on all eight sides.  There are no chips, cracks or...

Vintage Dinner Bells

Hi. Welcome to our Little Shop of Treasures Blog. Today we are featuring vintage dinner bells. Dutch Girl Dinner Bell What can I say? She is such a cutey measuring four inches tall. She's a girly girl dressed in pink and white, carrying a tiny basket of flowers on each side which act as a clapper and makes a very pretty tinkling sound. She is in great vintage condition with no chips or cracks and would love to part of your dinner bell collection or stand alone as a featured item on your table. Royal Crystal Rock To the left is a very traditional vintage 7" Royal Crystal Rock Dinner Bell. Made in Italy, it has a silver plated handle and makes a lovely sound. It would be perfect for a traditional table. Vintage Brass Puffin  To the right is a unique 4" tall vintage, brass bell. The puffin on the top is charming & the natural patina makes it perfect for shabby chic decor. Vintage 1978 Christmas Dinner Bell: Helen Steiner Rice (right...

Vintage Green Glass Vases

Instant Vintage Collection Hi Vintage Lovers, welcome to our Little Shop of Treasures Blog. I want to share with you a collection that currently has nine admirers and is in one treasury list. I absolutely love, love these vintage vases.  I usually don't gravitate to items of green but when I held these beauties up to the sunlight and saw the sparkle shine through, I became a fan. This set of vintage vases were produced by three different well known glass companies and one unknown. Anchor Hocking On opposite sides of the photo, are 2 dazzling vintage Anchor Hocking optic swirl vases. The spiral pattern is present on the outside portion of the glassware but inside is smooth.   3 1/4 " across the top,  6 1/2 " tall,  4" at the widest point CLG Co. (Carr Lowrey Glass Company) Placed directly in the center of this photograph is an adorable vintage bud vase produced by CLG Co. It stands nine inches tall with an opening at th...

Vintage Salt and Pepper Shakers

Image
Geese with Tulips Shakers http://www.etsy.com/shop/LittleShopTreasures Cole and I have just discovered the wonderful world of salt and pepper shakers.  I had never really looked at all the different and delightful shapes these common every day items can take. I have always owned regular looking shakers but now. WOW! Why stay with the mundane when I can dress up the table with something fun and whimsical to match my decor, mood or the season. Take a look at these adorable little geese. I can see why someone would want to collect geese items. They are so cute. Both feature orange and blue tulips - a reminder that winter doesn't last forever and spring is just around the corner. They would even look great with a table setting featuring white or yellow. http://www.etsy.com/shop/LittleShopTreasures And what about these colourful floral shakers? They are sure to brighten up the dullest of days. They would be a welcome addition to a vintage k...
