    Another find at the Church yard sale today. No marks. 6 1/2" x 5" and 2 3/4" high. Heavy. Any info? New or old? It'll look nice on a shelf in my kitchen.

    Old no doubt. Circa 1860-70 or so.
    Nice early form and nice pineapple subject.
    The pineapple was a popular good luck and Welcome symbol in the late 18th. early mid 19th cent. Didn't see it as much after that.

    Considering I paid 50 cents, I think I got a good deal even with the chips!

    The Pineapple is the symbol of Newport, RI. In the days of the China trade, ship's captains would let everyone know they were home by sticking a pineapple on their gate post. It was an exotic rarity. That's how it became a welcome symbol. Once pineapples became easier to get and cheaper, they weren't used so much.

    Ditto!

    And Mansons, I have a bed with pineapples, but the rest of the posts depict corn in its various stages.

    Ironstone pudding mold. Probably English, most of them were not marked. Nice detail, chip is really not an issue since collectors expect wear and tear from utility ware. I sell these for about $60 depending on motif. Ca. before 1900. For display, I anchor with florist goop and show on their side....
