The sweetest shade of pink...

This is a lovely piece completed in the Wedgewood-Style / Jasperware-Style made of gorgeous bisque pottery with the beautiful raised reliefs of young Roman / Grecian ladies and a decorative acanthus leaf rim.

There are two scenes done in a cameo style relief that grace either side of this little flower pot / vase. The other two sides are not decorated.

This piece would be delightful filled with flowers, however I could also see this piece being a bit more utilitarian in the bathroom or bo***ir - holding make up brushes or cotton swabs. How fabulous would that be?

This piece is unsigned.

Classic Black and White with Undeniable Vintage Style!

I have many fabulous vintage handbags, but this one is quintessentially vintage in classic black and white! It's quite fabulous! I just love the vintage shape of this bag - a squat little satchel! It's awesome!

This bag is from Markay Bags and was made in the USA.

This lovely top handled purse opens easily with an ornamental clasp that gently lifts up to open and snaps shut to close. It is in great working order. I also love that this bag opens very wide, making it easy to locate items within your bag. Inside there is one little pocket with zips shut with a charming metal zipper.

Pebbled white "leather/pleather" with black patent leather accents pulled together by gold tone hardware, including little feet that will protect the bottom of your bag. However, I think the best feature is the handle, that stays perpetually in the upright position, as if just poised and ready to be fabulous at all times!

Sweet and Lovely!

Bright pink little pom pom flowers add a playful touch to this lovely sheer ivory chiffon scarf from the 1960's. This loosely embroidered scarf is such a delight!

It can be worn a multitude of ways, as seen in the photos and would also make a lovely hair tie! It's just so fresh and fun - it will add a little whimsy to any outfit!

Sweet, yet Stunning!

This gorgeous dress is the sweetest pale blue in color, but the fabulous lace, shiny taffeta, and shimmering sequins brings it to a whole new level! In addition, it has a sensational scalloped lace neckline which repeats further down near the hemline. And the wide ruched taffeta waistline is absolutely stunning as it winds around the back and criss-crosses and finishes with the two most darling bows!

You can never go wrong with pure silk taffeta! Lovely cap sleeves and a flattering sheath silhouette makes this a vintage must-have! Additional details include the original metal zipper, hook and eye closure and is lined, as seen in photos.

This dress was custom-made for a wedding in the 1960's for the maid of honor. I have three coordinating pink dresses for the bridesmaids (which will be listed soon).

A classic vintage design such as this never goes out of style! Weddings, galas, cocktail parties... Rest assured, you'll dazzle in this incredible vintage dress!

Flouncy and Fun!

Vintage Floral Sleeveless Wrap Sundress by Concept 70's Swirl

Flowers and Ruffles! What could be better? This phenomenal sundress is beyond fabulous! With its bright and cheery floral pattern enhanced with a playful ruffle that runs around the neckline down the front of the wrap dress and finishes at the hemline.

100% Nylon gives a light and luxurious feel and will resist wrinkles.

Features wonderful wrap styling with an inside tie, a wide belt to tie jauntily on the side and a discreet snap at the bottom of the V to keep "the girls" hidden.

From the designer Concept 70's, this 1970's dress is a must have addition to your summer wardrobe!

Simply Lovely!

Vintage Shallow Ivory Ceramic Bowl with Gold Rope and Tassel Accents.

Signed - Made in Italy

This enchanting shallow bowl is quite lovely. Highly decorative ceramic work features a fluted decoration gently "pulled" from the center of the bowl and a stunning gold rope detail around the scalloped edge that ends in a "tied" loop and finished with tassels. This piece is just gorgeous!

The gentle lines and striking gold accents will make this piece a true standout in your collected home.

The underside of the bowl is marked "Made in Italy", 38-, and "Ashtray". However, I'm not sure this was ever intended as an ashtray as it is quite large and much too pretty.

Classic Vintage Styling!

This little box bag is as cute as a button. Small in size, but big in fashion style! Classic box style with sensational details - shiny gold tone (possibly brass) flip closure, gold tone "straps" and dual chain handles, and tiny gold tone feet to protect the bottom of the bag. With an inside zippered pocket to keep your valuables safe, this is a "must have" handbag! In addition, there is some great hobnail detail/construction on the interior (see photo).

And the color is so versatile - wear with any color or no color at all! Wear it spring, summer, winter or fall! (see what I did there :))

Inside the bag it is marked Tano of Madrid, however the inside zipper pull is marked Areitio and has a charming horse head and horseshoe motif. The bag may have been designed by Areitio and imported by Tano of Madrid. I'm not 100% sure of the relationship of the two designers.

Flowers, Flowers, Everywhere!

Delightful hand painted wooden Easter egg covered with bright, cheerful flowers! This beautiful egg is displayed on a pretty gold-tone stand that is a bit different than most stands - as it displays the egg horizontally.

"The colorful Polish tradition of making ‘pisanki’, or Easter eggs, is more or less a thousand years old. There are dozens of regional varieties, and the most outstanding specimens are exhibited in museums or held by private collectors.

This is undoubtedly the most awesome bar set for the opera lover, music enthusiast, lover of Mozart! From the Royal London International Gift Collection, this was originally purchased from Marshall Field and Company in Chicago during the 1960's. It has never been used! It is the Magic Flute Bar Set # 43 in its original box.
Box cover is printed with Mozart's "Die Zauberflote" sheet music.

The four piece set includes a two-sided jigger, cocktail spoon, bottle opener and cocktail strainer. Each piece includes a playable flute as its handle. So incredibly fun!

Magnificent Champlevé!

Translated from the French, Champlevé means “raised field.” Champlevé is an enamel process where the surface to be enameled is carved, engraved, stamped or etched with a design prior to enameling. ... With this technique the cells are filled with enamel to the height of the cell walls and smoothed over.

This is a gorgeous piece with some fabulous colors - deep, dark reds, navy blues, turquoise, emerald green and a whisper of pink. Beautiful florals and lotus-esque designs... The background is an intricate geometric design reminiscent of a Japanese screen. The handles are exquisite as well and depict the head of a bird on each side. Love the detail on this entire piece!

Sunny, Happy Yellow!

Swanky fedora styling with wide grosgrain ribbon detail and yellow netting, it is no wonder why Voguemont was know amongst the finest milliner's during the midcentury!

Vintage Light Blue and Gold Decorative Wooden Florentine Trays / Platters - Set of Five (5) - From Florence Italy, Firenze.

It's rare to find such a complete matching set in such wonderful condition!

These highly decorative Florentine wooden trays are simply fabulous! They are a beautiful soft creamy blue color and they positively glow with all of the gold gilding! The color can be best described as a mix of Tiffany Blue and Robin's Egg Blue - super luxe and dreamy!

I love the decorative nature of Florentine trays / platters. They really elevate any space they occupy, giving it a touch of elegance and glamour. Use these trays together or in separate rooms to give your home a cohesive look and feel. These would also look stunning on a curated art wall!

Awesome Opalesence!

Vintage Opalescent Ceramic Deviled Egg Platter / Tray by Maddux of California

This incredible deviled egg tray / platter is gorgeous with its creamy ivory ceramic and opalescent glaze. This lovely platter is so glossy and luxe! The opalescent / iridescent glaze reflects delightful pastel colors of pink, green, purple, yellow and blue. Zoom in on the photo, so that you can see it's incredible play on color and light!

Made by Maddux of California which was founded in the 1930's by William Maddux. Maddux was one of the more popular and collectible makers of California-made ceramics and continued to produce up until the 1980's.

This enchanting platter can be used for deviled eggs or really anything! It has a large center (with three compartments) so if you choose not to use the edges for eggs, it can be a lovely vegetable crudite tray. It is very versatile, which makes it an ideal piece for your collection.

Hold 18 eggs.

The devil is in the details! And this fabulous bag has them all!

Vintage White Box Bag / Handbag / Purse - Vinyl with Gold Tone Lock and Decorative Details / Top Handle / Made in Spain.

Such Classic Vintage Styling!

Make a statement with this fabulous vintage box bag. Classic box style with sensational details - hobnail corners, shiny gold tone (possibly brass) lock and hinges, and feet to protect the bottom of the bag. I love the way the handbag folds open and closed, allowing easy access to the entire purse.

There is no makers mark/signature, but sticker inside reads MADE IN SPAIN.

Absolutely Stunning Silhouette!

Vintage Sally Victor Straw Hat - Navy Blue Tweed-Like Pattern with Navy Grosgrain Ribbon Detail from the exclusive French Room at Marshall Field & Company on State Street in Chicago!

This isn't your typical beach-going straw hat. This is couture! The design of this hat is exquisite - with a sweeping silhouette that gives a sense of rhythm and motion. In addition, the sensational weave of the straw in colors of navy, cornflower and white give this hat a tweed-like appearance. Very Coco Chanel! Another lovely detail is the navy grosgrain ribbon tied in a tailored bow.

This hat was purchased from the exclusive "French Room" at Marshall Field & Company on State Street in Chicago. It has been lovingly cared for over the years and is in meticulous condition.

Sally Victor was the Milliner for this fine piece. Sally Victor was a prominent American milliner from the late 1920s through the 1960s. Her designs were popular with Hollywood actresses such as Irene Dunne, Helen Hayes, and Merle Oberon, as well as First Ladies Mamie Eisenhower and Jacqueline Kennedy, and Queen Elizabeth II.

This listing includes a vintage Marshall Field & Company Hat Box from The French Room. Please see photos for condition.

Truly, this "stunner" gives new meaning to the straw hat!

Enchanting!

This gorgeous ringlet hat from the 1950's is stunning! It has the most lovely champagne pink satin with a coordinating geometric netting. I haven't been able to find anything like it! The charming detail of the wide ribbon that hangs gracefully down the back is just captivating.

The netting needs to be steamed and shaped after storage, but once that is done, it has a nice stiffness that maintains its shape.

This sensational hat would be fabulous for a wedding, Easter, Mother's Day or a right proper afternoon tea!

Simply Precious!

This lovely vintage platter is all decked out in its "Easter Best"! Pale blush pink with an enchanting little chickie to look things over... this will be a welcome addition to your Easter table. Can be used for colored eggs, or vertical deviled eggs. What a cute addition to your collection!

Fabulous for Farmhouse Decor Lovers!

Holds one dozen eggs.

Quite a unique find!

This fabulous cigarette box with additional match box is highly decorated with an incredible Egyptian motif with lots of details and shiny gold accents throughout!

Truth be told, these boxes can be used for quite a few things other than ci******es and matches. The larger box would be great for jewelry and the matchbox could hold earrings or small rings.

This ensemble is beyond stunning!

Beautiful Vintage Kaftan or Caftan with two elegant pieces - dress and jacket. They can be worn together, separately or combined with different pieces. Super versatile and oh so, fancy!

The silhouette is striking! Onyx black polyester blend with two types of metallic gold thread. Decoration style is similar to soutache. Intricate stitching provides such luxe ornamentation that this ensemble is truly a special occasion outfit. Features enchanting highly decorative metallic gold ball "buttons" with loops on both the neckline of the dress and as the closure for the coat.

To be honest, I'm not sure what the origin is of this ensemble. It was purchased by my grandmother who was a world traveler, so it really could be from anywhere. However, based on the style, I'm thinking Morocco.

Very Unique and Quite Lovely!

This candelabra can go either Shabby Chic or Hollywood Regency.

It has five beautiful arms for taper candles and the chubby little cherub is sweet and tender as he balances the candelabra on his head. Lots of clear crystal drops throughout sparkle and shine as the candle light bounces off of them.

Although this would add the requisite drama to your living room, this piece would absolutely, without a doubt, bring the romance center stage in the bo***ir!

It stands 25.5" tall and is 14" wide at its widest point. The base is 5".
