I spent the first part of August away from the internet, up at the family cottages (a.k.a. Camp)... but that doesn't mean I've been neglecting this blog! While I was up in cottage country, I took lots of pictures of some of the gorgeous vintage items which are enjoyed by my extended family each summer. For the most part, the cottages were furnished and decorated in the 50's, 60's and 70's; what a treasure trove!
This "Vintage Cottage" miniseries will consist of two or three posts; this one features some lovely pieces by Denby and three adorable skunk figurines.
First, a Denby accent mug which I believe to be from the 60's:
Next, a stunning coffee set in my favourite Denby pattern, "Studio", which was made from 1961 until 1974 (love this pattern? I try to keep my Etsy shop stocked with it):
And finally, three adorable little skunk figurines (two of which appear to have been beheaded and - thankfully - lovingly repaired). I don't know who made them, but one eBay seller thinks a very similar skunk might be 1950's California pottery, perhaps by Rio Hondo or Walker. Indeed, the skunks do bear some resemblance to these Rio Hondo skunks. Anyway, here they are:
Next time: Pyrex, Arcoroc France and more!
Welcome! As a seller of vintage pottery, glass and ceramics on Etsy, I do a lot of research. In this blog, I will be writing features on various companies, designers, artists and styles. You might find posts about: Denby/Langley, Royal Copenhagen/Aluminia/B&G, mid century modern design, retro home decor, various other decor styles/periods, and various artists (especially those who specialized in pottery/ceramics). http://pillowsophi.etsy.com

I love the accent mug. The skunks are adorable! Reminds me of something I see in cartoons. Love them.
