Yup, indeed it would. Pate or some kind of relish does seem likely. Were Americans still making their own butter in the 40s?
I really don't think this was ever made for butter. We really don't make them that shape, butter wasn't and isn't sold in it.
Not neccessarily. There's Victorian British tiles with exactly that colouring. It's a bit Morris.
That one is quite late, 1940s. Possibly a repro at the time.
Probably sold with relish in it.
It's Sorrento Ware, if that helps.
It may have been bought there, but I doubt it was made there. Countries import and export: I have Deruta pottery bought in Spain, for example.
I'd thought West German, but hey.
I speak French. I have French ex colleagues who used to insist on speaking English at meetings involving Quebecois.
I'd say Italian, 1960s from the setting, and yes, someone brought it home.
I'm voting English.
That unglazed terracotta is typically Japanese.It's nice stuff though.
The screws are modern.
Actually, it might be Porthmadog Pottery. Maltese Cross, M and a diamond shape is what's worth googling on.
Studio pottery with crystalline glaze. I don't think it's Asian. I'll hav a hunt through the British Studio book, but you might also post this on...
Didymium, I think. Safety glass. I think those are all varying safety glass samples, against strong light and so forth, with varying capacities...
Silver is big here. I love it, too.
Ah, gotcha.
That's not foiled, though, it's closed back.
Some things don't go up in line with inflation. DM was about three to the pound back then, so five hundred pounds equivalent.
