This morning I arrived at what was described as a "hoarder's" estate sale, but I knew by the zip code, she was probably just a super enthusiastic collector - nobody in that neighborhood is likely to put up with cat colony action. Sure enough, I discovered the house owner had once had a booth at an antique mall and many of the smalls were from there. What a treasure trove. This woman had great taste and especially in pottery, my weakness. I walked away with some really special finds, but I'm wondering if anyone could help me identify the following:
Could this little lady be Lisa Larson? There is no mark on the bottom and she has a hole on top for a candle or such. The other is Dansk and is marked Denmark IHQ, but what is it?! A coffee pot? And does anyone know the pattern or approximate date of production? Thanks! I'll post all the thrift finds later on my
blog.
Hi BrodieSabine --
ReplyDeleteThis stoneware figure is a piece of figural Japanese ceramic. Very cute!
The other piece looks like Dansk Flamestone -- the "lid" is not part of the piece.
(and this is @bitofbutter, btw.)
ReplyDeleteThank you! So helpful. That lid fits so perfectly, but I must admit it did seem very un-Dansk like.
ReplyDeleteWhat she said. Dansk piece is a Flamestone sugar bowl. Here's one w/ its original lid: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dansk-FLAMESTONE-SMOOTH-BROWN-Sugar-Bowl-100000-/310393391788?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4844e34aac
ReplyDeleteAgain, thank you both. Anyone need a brown sugar bowl with an impostor lid?!
ReplyDeleteI had that sane figure in my store, and I described as as a LL look alike. She sure is cute!
