Wide-mouthed urn vase
 This delightful 5" high urn vase is done in pleasing shades of turquoise fading to a very deep green-brown color at the base. It is glazed both outside and in and probably dates from the 1960's, wouldn’t you say? The wide round mouth is 4-1/4" in diameter and the base is a 3-1/2" square. It is unmarked and in near-perfect condition, with only a couple of tiny dings on the base that in no way detract from its beauty. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

Lefton Madonna
 Here is an exquisite Lefton Madonna and Child from the 1950's. It is of porcelain bisque and the colors are the softest creams, beiges, browns, and blues. Mary’s hands are particularly delicate, and she has the most beautiful serene expression on her face as she lovingly holds her Child. This exceptional piece stands 7" tall with a 4-3/4" x 5" base. The bottom is marked with the Lefton crown and says “Lefton China” above and “Hand Painted” below. Unlike any others I’ve seen, this piece also says “Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.” and has the piece name “Madonna” underneath. Its number is KW101R. I’ve seen a very few KW101 Lefton Madonnas, but never one with the R attached. This piece has been carefully treasured for close to 50 years and is in perfect condition: no chips, cracks, crazing, discoloration, or any flaws whatsoever. Truly a stunning addition to anyone’s collection. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

RRP matte white jardinaire
 Standing 4-1/8" tall with diameters of 4-7/8" at its top and 3-1/4" at its base, this is one of the smaller old matte white jardinaires produced by RRP (Robinson-Ransbottom Potteries) in their popular Sun & Moon pattern sometime between 1920 and 1979. I’ve seen this exact same jardinaire listed with both of these dates, so I’m not about to authoritatively tell you how old this one is, and it’s vintage either way. If numbers mean anything, ours carries the number 140, as well as RRP and USA, on its bottom.
The Ransbottom Pottery was founded in 1900 when four Ransbottom brothers – Frank, Ed, Johnnie, and Mort – acquired the Oval Ware and Brick Company. Frank had learned the potters’ art from his father Alfred who operated the Bluebird Potteries on farms in Perry and Muskingum Counties, Ohio. During the late 1890's, Frank Ransbottom had become one of the area’s best known and most successful jobbers of the stoneware and earthenware products.
Located in Roseville, OH, Ransbottom Pottery began production in 1901. Among its earliest products were jardinieres, cuspidors and red flower pots. The business grew rapidly and by 1916 had become the world’s largest manufacturer of stoneware jars. In 1920, the company merged with Robinson Clay Products Company, a manufacturer of tile and brick products. The company name was changed to Robinson-Ransbottom and its product lines were expanded to gardenware, including bird baths, planters, pots, jardinieres, vases, urns and strawberry jars. In addition to gardenware, the company produced a broad range of housewares, giftware and tabletop products, as well as pet feeders.
Most Robinson-Ransbottom pottery pieces are inscribed RRP on the bottom, sometimes followed by “USA” and/or “Roseville, Ohio.” The company ultimately ceased doing business in 2005.
Our jardinaire is in perfect condition, with no cracks, crazing, or chips, except for one discolored indentation at its inside bottom that is either a flaw or a very old chip that is smooth to the touch. There is slight roughness at various places along the rim. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

Italian urn/water jug
 This is a very attractive urn or water jug in soft feathery shades of brown. The two handles are pierced and hold 1-3/4" diameter metal rings.

It is in perfect condition, with no chips, cracks, or crazing. There are four marks on the bottom of one side that might be old scratches, but look more like they might have been knife slips at the time this piece was created. (Click on picture for more images.)

Millesan Drew driftwood wall pocket
 This 14-1/4" x 7-1/2" x 2-3/8" deep ceramic wall pocket is amazingly realistic. It really does look like an actual piece of old weathered driftwood! The pocket opening is 4" x 1-1/2". The back says “© Millesan Drew”, but the incising is so faint that it refused to show up on a scan, let alone a photo. Perfect condition: no chips or cracks. A really attractive vintage wall pocket.

Claw foot bathtub soap dish
 This 8-1/4" x 3-1/4" x 4" high white porcelain (?) soap dish with gold accents is in the shape of a lovely old-fashioned high-backed claw foot bathtub. The raised slotted soap holder inside the tub is perfect for holding a guest sized bar of soap, but you could also fill it with various colored round soaps or even little Christmas ornaments for a festive holiday touch in your bathroom. Perfect condition: no chips or cracks, but the unglazed bottoms of the four claw feet show some wear discoloration. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

Miramar of California planter
 The Miramar Pottery Co. of Los Angeles began in 1952 and quickly became known for its planters, vases, and tableware, but most particularly its TV lamps – remember those from the '50s?? The company ceased production sometime in the '70s and their pieces are collector items today, usually seen under the heading of “retro.” Our planter is in Miramar’s classic deep green color and has a textured curvaceous body and indented non-textured base. It measures 6-1/4" x 2-1/2" at the top, curving out to 7" x 3" at its widest point, and then back down to the 5-1/2" x 1-5/8" base. Bottom is marked “Miramar of California” and “© 1954", as well as carrying the number 215. Outstanding condition with one little white mark at the bottom of one textured side that might be a very shallow chip, but is more likely a glaze skip, and one tiny chip on the base’s bottom edge.
