California Treasures

Below is a peek at the load my sister and I got at a warehouse in California. I was down there for my father's birthday. The warehouse is owned by a friend of my parents' who sells things from his parents' old antique shop. His mother collected ironstone and his father collected glass. He periodically takes things out of storage and places them in his warehouse to sell. We had a lot of fun finding all these things. And we even left some behind.

This first picture is of both my sister's treasures and mine together. The pictures that follow are of my items only. Quite the find of ironstone and transferware.

We got all of this and a crock pot and Bauer pot for a steal.

There are six of these depression glass dishes. Price $20.00. There were two reasons why I bought them. First, I love clear depression glass. Second, I have never seen six together of the same pattern.

I like ironstone, but especially the square pieces like this creamer.

We each got one vegetable dish. This one has an artichoke on top and great lines up the sides and on the lid.

Great square dish with simple flowers. My first transferware piece.

My sister got this at an estate sale Saturday for me for "free". It is a great Bauer vase. She got a Bauer pot for free the day before at the warehouse. Just at that to the list I mentioned in "Things for Free".

Here is my latest crock pot. This one is really great in that it still has both the handles and a lot of writing including the patent of the company printed on it.

Patented Dec. 21st 1915

And here is the last piece. My favorite! I love the simplicity of this pitcher. Below is the mark on the bottom and the price tag from the antique shop. It is not what I paid though.
