I wouldn't even have known it was supposed to be a copy of anything good. The sideboard they're sitting on is another matter. Not ancient, but...
Seems like. A lot of folks who went through at era kind of got "stuck".
I think this board is technically "International Waters" so there isn't much a US-based nonprofit can do. :-)
I wonder what they'd do if the knew the sort of "sauce" that originally went into them!
That's not a crack, it's a CHUNK. On the other paw, if the painting is antique that missing chunk may actually be beneficial. It'll make it look...
Water dropper is the name I know. They all seem fairly recent.
Slightly more recent - for the truly broke they "didn't have a pot to piss in or the window to throw it out of".
Yep. That's her. Dunno as her work is worth a lot, but it's fun pinning her down.
I doubt those are one-offs. Small quantity factory output probably. AB? Love the humor that went into them - there's a mouse cutout prancing...
I like it even better when they can't read hallmarks. At that estate sale on Friday, one lady got a tea set for $180. The tray was alas plated,...

Oho. I would never have gotten that. I did take better pictures but just used the quick and dirties for resizing. I bet it's Susan Mangam....
I think this was a real working proof and the artist wasn't all that kind to it to begin with.
That star brooch would be a rarity here; the stones are probably paste but who cares?
I don't think this is student work. It's marked Artist's Proof II, Rev[elation] 12: 3-9 and Susan W Maupan????? 1966. It has something to do...
On the other paw, if that means he's giving some of the good stuff away I'm not about to argue.(LOL)
It wasn't assembled in Italy, for sure. There are knot covers on the string, generally indicating factory made. But... the stringing looks all...
That pic-a-nic basket and the "gathering" basket could have some age on them. The rest were doing their jobs holding the crockery.
I wasn't planning on going hunting this morning, just to a charity thrift that's usually too overpriced to buy much. I got beads and an Egyptian...
Darned tootin'! No point in leaving it for the trash man if it's not trash.
