Vintage Thingie Thursday: Vintage Pitchers

I am back this week after taking last Thursday off. Well, not really.. I was not off, just did not get my post done, so I guess you could say...slacked off!! I'll have to admit, I missed you guys. Be sure to check in over at Confessions of an Apron Queen's blog and take a look at every one's vintage loot. Fun!

Today, I have a few of my vintage pitchers, or the like to share with you. I have a fondness for kitchen vintage items. Especially, a fondness for nature inspired or "cabin-y" is that a word? themed items. I guess by now you have figured out why that is...right? I do hope you enjoy your visit today, and a look at some of my goodies.

This is a very special gravy boat. It is cream with a gold band around the edge. Now, normally this is not my style of vintage...but this is special none the less. My father-in-law saved two pieces of vintage dishes that belonged to his mother and gave them to me after I married my husband. This is the gravy boat. The bottom is marked Le Roi and stamped 18 karat gold. F.C. It also has numbers "B 10 30" on the bottom. This piece is not used by me at all, it sits on a shelf. It is very old.

This is so sweet I think. I love the pine cone motif on the front. I would assume it is a gravy boat. I love the unusual shape of this piece. The bottom is stamped MADE IN USA. I purchased this little gem at an estate sale, the tag was still inside....at $1.00 I think it was a bargain.

Now, these next two pieces are small and I purchased them at an estate sale too. They are a set, creamer and sugar bowl. This creamer pitcher had a little damage to the pine cone, but I loved it anyway. It is such frilly, dainty looking set that the pine cone almost looks out of place. This is a very small piece, it is about 2 1/2 inches wide and about 1 3/4 inches tall. The bottom of both pieces has a black and gold sticker. It says Victoria Ceramics Made in Japan.

This is the matching sugar bowl to the creamer above. Notice, no damage to this little piece, that white spot is from the camera flash. I love the delicate look of the pine cone and needles of this set.

This one is my newest addition to my vintage treasures. My mom and aunt spend most Saturdays going shopping, eating out and spending the day together. A few Saturdays ago, my mom surprised me with this little jewel. She found this at a local antique mall on a day spent shopping with my aunt. What a find! Of course it is so very cute and the bears make it a great addition to my collection. The bottom is marked "Seltmann Weiden" Handpainted in Germany.

Here is a close up of the sweet little bears in the forest. This will be displayed in my bear room...Oh, that could be another VTT post....I will have to post about my "Bear Room" one of these days.....so keep tuning in on Thursdays. You just never know what you will find here.

Hope you enjoyed your visit today, and looking at only a few of my vintage kitchen pitchers, creamers and gravy boats. I will have more on display in the near future. I hope you enjoy the rest of the week.
