Happy VTT everybody! be sure to stop by Suzanne's super fun blog Colorado Lady for a full helping of Thursday social!
Whenever I participate in VTT I feel I've visited 30 or more friends and I feel blessed to visit with you all and see your finds and treasures!
First I'd like to welcome my new followers: Mimi and Douce France. Thank you for following. I love your blogs by the way!
For today's VTT I'm showing small pieces I found in the last 2 weeks and non is over 3 1/2 inches!
I had no idea what those were when I bought them only that my maternal Grandma had a hutch full of that lovely Xmas pottery! I found out that these are Lefton salt & pepper shakers from the 60's. They made me feel all warm and fuzzy....
This little creamer screams mid-century and I could not leave it at the Salvation Army! It's from Laurentian Art Pottery in St-Jerome Quebec, it's less than an hour from where I am. Talk about local! It was made in the late 50's. Not a lot is know about th pattern or the company...
Last but not least,these 2 beauties are thrifty finds for sure! I found them last Monday in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield (a stone's thrown from where I live) in a thrift store that sells mostly furniture. I paid .25 cents for each. The cocktail glass is unmarked but it looks like a Fred Press design (probably a repro) from the 50's and the small green vase is really a planter made after 1930 but before 1950 (my guess in more near 1930) in Green Slag Glass by the Akro Agate Glass Company from Akron Ohio. These made all the glass marbles, but in 1930 their revenues started to dip because of competition so they started to manufacture small glass objects. How coo is that? The pattern is called Ribs and Flutes!
Thank you for dropping by!

Amazing to find really cool vintage pieces like that! The salt and pepper shakers are the best!! Peace, Stephanie
So, is Grandma forced to pass on her Xmas pottery to you now? Nice pieces.
What fun vintage finds! The salt and pepper shakers are my favorite...
Hey Babe! I seriously think we are twins separated at birth.
Your shakers are by Lefton. Stop by Lefton Lovelies at Flicker to see some pieces to go with. Mine are not there, because I cleaned my Christmas photos out, rats.
I have two of your black and gold glasses that I am giving away with the large set I have in the shop, shhhh, it's a surprise.
ALSO! I picked up the same slag pot, the exact same, a bit ago. Mine is in pretty rough shape, and it was pretty cheap. I figured it would be good to practice some cleaning techniques on. I bet they came in a really cool holder.
Kudos to you for keeping up with VTT. I have a hard enough time keeping up with blogging, the shop, and VMTeam. YOU are awesome!
