WHO WOULD? WEDGWOOD!

HATHAWAY ROSE    

by Wedgwood

What can I say about this pretty little piece.  Oh, yes - WEDGWOOD.

Well OK, I'll tell you a little more then.

Hathaway Rose has been well known among WW collectors since it was first introduced in 1959. The pattern (no. R4317) is one of WW most popular, continuing its demand until 1987. The backstamp indicates that this particular item was produced from 1974 at which time the circled R (registered) was introduced to WW's mark.

So this particular piece, a rose bud vase, was produced in ENGLAND (which it is no longer) during a 13 year period between 1974 and 1987 and it's still as pretty now as it was then.

HUMOUR ME

MATCHBOX HOLDER OF AUSSIE HUMOUR

POLICE v CLEANING

You have to see this one!

It has to be one of the funniest things I've found in my rummaging. 

Who would have thought of these hilarious skits from the 1950s?

Both cartoons are soooooo politically incorrect today that you can't help but chuckle to yourself and think, "yeah, that's how it used to be". I love it. Each cartoon is also signed by its respective artist within cartoon. Aussie humour is so collectable right now that this may not last long.

THIS ITEM IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Retro Raving

The Quick & The Dead

Retro and Mid-Century items appear to be hot on the spot, with funky and colourful being the requirement.

If you're not visiting my Etsy shop RESTOREDau then you're missing out.  Unfortunately time does not permit every listing here on my blog before putting up for sale on Etsy.  Fun, funky and fabulous pieces are disappearing quick.  Here is one that I was sad to sell, actually.  But, alas, they have gone as quickly as I could list them.

I guess that just another good reason for me to head out looking for my goodies to share with you all. ;)
