Home Decor:Ceramics:Vanity
This is what looks like an old English country dresser set. It has two powder jars, a candle holder and a hair receiver. The candle holder has places where the paint has rubbed off from wear. The hair receiver is larger than the powder jars. The whole set just looks so English country. There is a hairline crack on the rim of the candleholder. The rest of the set has no chips or cracks. It just looks worn like old county pieces do. It is so charming because it is so informal.

$14 USDRoxbury Mass hair receiver
Home Decor:Ceramics
This is an adorable little pink hair receiver that measures about 2 &1/2" by 3". The only marks on the bottom say "Made in Germany" and on top someone painted "Roxbury Mass." I suppose that means the porcelain was made in Germany and the painting was done in Roxbury, Massachusetts. It sort of looks like a souvenir item. Since it's a hair receiver, it's an awfully old souvenir item! Hmm, I wonder what's in Roxbury, Mass. I've never been there. I wonder who brought it out here? Oh, sorry, I got ...

$10 USDBlue and white porcelain sake or tea cup
Home Decor:Ceramics
This is a white porcelain sake or tea cup with an indigo-blue painted design under-glaze. Feeling around the rim there may be one small indention or chip, but I think it was fired that way.
