Anyone recognize this old stoneware mark?
Comments (4)Thanks Linda. :) It's my mother's. She came from and lived in several towns/counties near where old Ohio pottery and glass manufacturers were concentrated. Which is why I suspected an Ohio company. She told me many old pottery, stoneware & pieces were abundant (or used to be) in barns, attics, garages, in her younger years it was everywhere. Some so abundant then, they just sort of took it for granted. She had a lot of old Roseville, McCoy, Imperial Glass etc. but gave a lot away when moving. *whimper* Then when I started collecting she told me how much she regretted not keeping it. Me too! ;) But thankfully there are some remaining, she knew my love of antiques and old things. I'm sure my grandma (her mom) had some too. (Imperial glass in particular.) My mom's pieces have beaded edges & handles, I'll be posting some of those pics later. Glass is so tricky, I really do need to learn how to ID it. I have a compote she gave me years ago, saying it was my paternal grandmother's. Mom always called it 'strawberry glass' but there are no strawberries in the pattern, all I know is it's very old per my mother. I suspected the crock was around turn of century give or take, older than my mom by a generation. So that's why I strongly suspect it came from that area, based on how long she lived there....See Moredoes anyone recognize ? no marks on bottom

Comments (0)I bought this fountain recently, and it is labelled 1962 with a logo/mark. I wonder if anyone knows the maker? It needs a little patching and maybe re-painting. I'm going to try to rig it up as a bubbler fountain in my little urban garden. Any advice on patching and/ or painting this cement material which is a bit crumbly would be appreciated :) Many Thanks...See MoreIn The Style Of Meissen - Anyone Recognize This Mark
Comments (16)@Helen- I was pretty sure that's what you had meant when you wrote CIA. I grew up in an apartment house on the corner of Ditmas and CIA. While I was too young to go antique shopping and my parents too poor, my in-laws shopped the stores frequently. We still have some of their pieces. My MIL had many pieces of Meissen lookalikes just like yours as well as cherubs; I gave them away to charity when we cleaned out her apartment, as they definitely were not my style either. I did keep her collection of dessert plates, cups and saucers. There is an art to ‘hondeling’ Very similar to negotiating a car lease or purchase today, but with more humor and good intentions on both sides. i do remember the knitting store on Avenue J. Those were times when women had the opportunity to sit around all afternoon and chat while knitting over the u-shaped table. If Bubbe was a really big time knitter, she might even have made her way to the Borough Park store Goldstein’s, as I recall it. Unfortunately, none of my grandparents survived the Holocaust, along with aunts, uncles and cousins, too numerous to think about, so my mother taught me to knit, crochet and sew. As an aside, one of my mother's aunts came out of Europe well before the war to settle on Fairfax Ave. in LA. Her name was Helen, too....See More2ajsmama
