Anthropomorphic Country Mouse Teacher Coin Bank
























Now I know my A-B-C's, won't you come and sing with me! Here we have a sweet anthropomorphic Country Mouse Teacher ceramic coin bank from the 1960's. There are no maker's identification marks on this piece but it could possible be Napco.  She is in excellent condition with out chips or cracks and still has her rubber stopper.  Measures 6 1/2" tall by 3 3/4" wide.

Jeannette Glass " Cubist" Creamer & Sugar Bowl Set



















Fostoria Glass Co.'s most successful line (#2056) was American and was produced from 1915 up until the plant closed in 1986 and it is one of their most copied and most misidentified patterns of all time.   These are NOT Fostoria American, they are Jeannette Cubist pattern.
 


















The Jeannette Glass co. produced the Cubist pattern mainly between 1929 to 1933 with most of it being in colored glass.  Scarce now these colored pieces are hard to find, but the clear crystal individual creamer and sugar bowl were produced for a much longer period and are still fairly plentiful.



















One difference between Fostoria American and Jeannettes Cubist is that Fostoria triple-fired theirs to make a much smoother, clearer finish to their glass.  The second way to tell the difference is in that the handles on a Fostoria set extend to the top of the piece whereas on a Jeannette they are further down, about half an inch.



















The verdict is in and it is that this  Jeannette Cubist creamer and sugar bowl is a lovely set worthy of gracing any table!  No chips or cracks, they are in fabulous condition.

Vintage Gilner Pixieware Elf

This mischievous little pixie is ready to charm his way into your heart - just look at those sweet dimples.   He makes me wonder what he's been up to besides exercising!



















Manufactured by the Gilner Pottery Company, Culver City California, he was part of the Pixieware line of male elves called "Happy People".  (Female elves were from the "Merry Maid" line).  Beryl Gilner took advantage of the "craze" for pixies and produced this line from 1942 until 1958 when the plant burnt down.



















This mid century fellow is in outstanding condition without chips, cracks or repairs, and sits 2 5/8" tall by 3 1/4 wide. The carefully painted features on his unglazed face remain bright and vivid.
