Junkin' in February has been good, not in quantity, but in just GOODIES! I have been on the look out for tea pots, I have at least six coffeepots, and only just last year acquired one teapot. This is lovely, and easily holds 4 cups. The pattern is Manor Vista. The colors are rich, the pot has no chips or dings.

It does have some crazing---?

The mark is contemporary and the pattern was made for Montgomery Ward sometime after 1962. Style House (trademark) was a line of home furnishings made for them by various manufacturers. This teapot is clearly marked and Made in Japan. It's a pretty pot and blends nicely with other
vintage transferware patterns much older.

Johnson Bros, 12" platter (Johnson Brothers) in Devonshire Pattern - Brown Multi Color - a very popular pattern made between 1930 and 1970 in England. Very popular pattern, this has tiny fissure on edge, probably from manufacturing as it is sealed in the glaze. Love the rich colors, but this is crazed, but makes a gorgeous display piece.

Another teapot---this time a silver-plate pot over copper. Really in great shape underneath the 'patina', I will have a hard time deciding whether to polish this or not. This is also a large 5-6 cup pot, totally functional an must have been lurking in the bottom of some dining storage cabinet.

Nothing is loose, dinged or crooked. And it has 4 hallmarks on the bottom.

I tracked this down---and is an exact match.
The teapot is silver over copper and if any of those companies--it is pre-1935-6.

Definitely worth the price I paid for it, the inside is still in great shape with no pitting.

The tray isn't in as good of shape...large 13" round and heavily embossed patter and trimmed in rope motif. Some rough spots, I paid a pittance, so it will may not get polished either. WmRogers, was a good piece in its time.

I have captured the detail of the stitching and the shadows, show the netting. Honestly I couldn't even stand doing cross-stitch on big fabric. Love all the violets, clustered. The inside of the purse appears to be a fine, tight weave ribbed shantung. No marks or labels.

As pristine and as beautiful this piece is, I think I will list it in my Etsy shop.
Even though violets are my February birth flower.

This dressing table box from the 50-60's is satin, clean and a lovely green, which insists on showing gold.

I normally don't buy this sort of of statue, but she was such a sweet reminder
that Spring is around the corner.

I've been digging in my vintage (Granmothers') jewelry stashes. These are unmarked except for a stylized C on the ear clips. Honestly the quality of the plastics from the 1950's-60's is amazing compared to now.
This necklace is iridescent milky pink beads with a set of earrings to match. They are graduated in size and on waxed cord. Everything is molded now and has mold marks and just isn't the same.
You get the feeling human hands have never touch
our newer products.

Though, this isn't my style (would be great Rockabilly) and is destined for the shop. (Sold)

MY FIND OF THE YEAR.... I don't even care what this is....I love it. 15 3/4" Platter, Pale blue clay with a fabulous transfer reminiscent of Holland. The Windmill and surrounding buildings are very similar to the ones I visited in Denmark.
