Hi everyone, welcome back from T-Day. We’re tremendously behind on getting our thrifted goodies photographed for the blog and the shop. So we’re going to have to put them up in smaller “batches”, rather than one gigantic photo.

You may recall some earlier luck we had at the thrift. Well, it seems the good fortune has continued, at least for now. We have a ton of stuff waiting to go up in both the main shop and Etsy outlet.

The tiny blue enamel teapot shown above is a bit of a mystery. We thought it might be related to the Michael Lax Copco one we had earlier, but it could very well also be a later production from Japan or Hong Kong. Incidentally, we recently came across ANOTHER Lax Copco kettle in the same blue. That one may go up in the shop, but we have to check our request list first to see if those folks are interested.

The Pyrex Flameware glass percolator in the back is in remarkable shape – we see these every so often, but they’re usually not in very good shape, or are missing the glass tube insert and basket. We’ve tried making coffee in one of these before, but probably wouldn’t recommend using it everyday.

The little Denwar Bantu cup in front was a nice find, but I think we might keep this one. Denwar was a California pottery that produced this very distinctive “egg-shaped” dinnerware style in a number of interestingly named speckled colors. This color is known as Gibi Green.

Lastly, another California pottery piece – a Gladding McBean Franciscan “Capistrano” Artware bowl. While this is a really nice piece, it’s definitely going up in the shop because we just have too many of these bowls and planters. We don’t know too much about this piece (and actually thought it was a La Mirada pottery item) but believe it was from an art ware line from around the 1940s and was #412 in the catalog.

All right, that’s it for this thrift roundup. We’ll try get more pics up soon, including an enormous set of Hornsea pottery that we came across. By the way, thank you to all the nice folks who left comments on the recent blog posts. We don’t get a whole lot of visitors yet to the blog, so we really appreceiate it. We’re also trying to fill out the “blogroll” at right – so if you happen to have a vintage or modern shop/blog and would like to exchange links, let us know!
