Mini Floral Pitcher/Creamer - Made in Japan - Vintage

Mini Floral Pitcher/Creamer - Made in Japan - Vintage

This adorable small pitcher/creamer is adorned with painted flowers in shades of pink, blue, and orange on a glossy off-white crackle finish. This piece is marked Made in Japan.

The pitcher measures approximately 4 1/2” tall and 3 1/2” wide. The mouth of the pitcher is approximately 2" across.

There are two small chips on the rim on the back of the pitcher. Other than these chips, this pitcher is in excellent vintage condition. It does have obvious signs of use though as you would expect in a vintage item.

If you have questions or would like additional photos, please let us know.

This is an adorable pitcher and would look so cute sitting in your kitchen. Add a little water and a few flowers and it becomes a vase. The possibilities are endless.

Come see our shop, ratty daddy dinkdum, on Etsy! You can find this pitcher there along with a lot of other cute items! We look forward to seeing you!

Have a great afternoon!

Beth and Denise

Walls Coming Down, Walls Going Up

Because of our new kitchen design, the doorway between our office (previous owner’s formal dining room) and the kitchen had to be moved over. So that meant tearing down a wall and rebuilding it. Here are before and after pictures.

The opening I am referring to is to the left of the refrigerator. That opening had to be moved to where the fridge is sitting.

Here is the wall starting to come down.

And the wall is gone!

And the new wall is being built. We are putting a pocket door in this opening.

I am SO tired of all the dust in the house! We have also had issues with our kitchen cabinets. More on that later. Anyway, the only fun part about remodeling is when you are done. Can’t wait for that!

Stay tuned for our next update!

Have a great day!

Denise

Handmade Monster on Etsy

We wanted to share a shop with you! It’s called Handmade Monster. They have some of the most adorable crocheted items we have ever seen!

Here is one of our favorites!

It’s Yoda! How cute is that!

Here’s some information from their profile:

“Handmade Monster is run by Shana and Jerrad who want to share their love of crafts, video games, music, animals, kids and happiness with you! Sales from this shop are helping Shana pay back her student loans so you can feel good about your purchase :]”

They also have items for humans too!

Here’s another picture of the Yoda hat!

For some reason, we don’t think this cat is very happy about being a model.

Anyway, check out their shop here!

Have a great day!

Beth and Denise

Set of 2 Floral Porcelain Enamel Mixing/Nesting Bowls - GMI - Vintage

Set of 2 Floral Porcelain Enamel Mixing/Nesting Bowls - GMI – Vintage

This is a super cute Set of 2 Floral Porcelain Enamel Mixing/Nesting Bowls. They would make the perfect addition to your existing vintage collection or would make a great starter set for that up-and-coming vintage collector! These bowls are marked GMI Dishwasher Safe. Please see the picture below for a close-up of this mark.

The approximate measurements of the bowls are as follows:

Larger bowl--10 3/4” diameter, 4 1/2” tall
Smaller bowl--9” diameter, 3 3/4” tall

There is some rust visible around the rims on the inside of both bowls. The picture below is an example of the rust. The larger bowl has a couple of chips on the outside and a small area (about the size of a quarter) of spiderweb-like cracks on the inside. The chips on the outside of the larger bowl are hidden in the design and are hard to see. There is also a small, very hard to see, dent in the larger bowl. There are normal wear scratches inside and out. The flowers on the larger bowl are more vivid in color than the flowers on the smaller bowl. The bowls are in excellent vintage condition but have obvious signs of use as you would expect in a vintage item. If you would like additional photos please contact us. We have taken multiple pictures and will be happy to share them with you.

These bowls are in excellent vintage condition and would look fantastic sitting in your kitchen!

Check these bowls out along with our other collectibles in our Etsy shop! We love when you stop by!

Have a great evening!

Beth and Denise

Floral Porcelain Enamel Mixing/Nesting Bowls - Set of Three - Vintage

Floral Porcelain Enamel Mixing/Nesting Bowls - Set of Three – Vintage

This is a super cute Set of 3 Floral Porcelain Enamel Mixing/Nesting Bowls. They would make the perfect addition to your existing vintage collection or would make a great starter set for that up-and-coming vintage collector! These bowls are marked with an unidentified mark/logo above the words Made in China. Please see the picture below for a close-up of this mark. (If you are familiar with this mark/logo, please send us a message! We'd love to find out what company it's from!)

The bowls measure as follows:

Large bowl--9” diameter, 3 3/4” tall
Medium bowl--8 1/4” diameter, 3 1/2” tall
Small bowl--7 1/4" diameter, 3” tall

You will find some rust spots around the rims, both inside and outside, on all three bowls. The picture below is of the small bowl showing some of the rust present. There are normal wear scratches inside and out. The bowls are in excellent vintage condition but have obvious signs of use as you would expect in a vintage item. If you would like additional photos please contact us. We have taken multiple pictures and will be happy to share them with you.

The lids fit snugly and are in great shape. However, they do have a slight "plastic" smell as you would expect in a vintage plastic item.

These bowls are in great vintage condition, and they would make a cute addition to your vintage collection! We fell in love with them when we first saw them, and it’s hard to part with them. Please check them out along with our other vintage finds in our Etsy shop. While you’re there, take a look at our handmade scarves, flower pins, and bracelets.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
