Since I didn't get to share my entire barn sale haul with you in Thrill of the Hunt #56, today I thought I'd share the rest of my vintage finds from that sale, plus a few other recent thrift store finds as well.
This mid-century glazed ceramic deer planter called out to me so I just had to bring her home. It reminded me of some McCoy pottery I've seen over the years, although it's not McCoy.
No maker's mark, but a kitschy find for sure.
Vintage deer seem to be pretty popular these days.
The eyes reminded me a bit of the pink deer planter I picked up there as well.
But overall I do like it, as I've been enamored of deer tchotchkes for quite some time. I can see it used as a planter for air plants or real plants, or even as a pencil holder or kitchen utensil holder. The Leaping Deer With Calla Lily Ceramic Pottery Planter is AVAILABLE.
This was, by far, the coolest find from the barn sale: 1940's - 1950's Sonette Salt & Pepper "dispensers."
I think these are mid century modern/art deco at its best.
What's really cool about them (besides their awesome color) is that the design on them makes them look like skyscrapers.
The original instructions are priceless.
Now on to some Salvation Army finds. This is a lovely sugar bowl with lid.
I was drawn to it due to its intricate and delicate detail, as well as the gold embellishment.
The maker's mark says C.T. Germany. This stands for Carl Tielsch. Based on my research I believe it was manufactured between 1887 and 1895. It amazes me that it is still in such pristine condition. Could it really be 130 years old?
Finally, I have a Hall 10-inch oyster plate. The Hall China Company is based out of Liverpool, Ohio and has been in business since 1903. They claim to be the world's largest manufacturer of specialty dinnerware. Ironically, I do NOT like oysters. That gives me an idea.....perhaps this plate could be used as a condiment plate, crudite' serving plate or even a jewelry storage tray! It's very heavy.
I think I'd have to say that an oyster plate is, indeed, specialty dinnerware. I'm guessing these plates were made as restaurantware, although I don't know when this one would have been made. I've seen the same one listed on etsy and ebay as "vintage" but I'm not quite sure just how they figured that out.
Well, that's it until next time, friends!

I'm wondering if the salt and pepper dispensers are glass or plastic? The packaging and instructions are awesome!
My favorite is the sugar bowl! So pretty! But the salt and pepper shakers are pretty cool! Always enjoy seeing what you find! Thanks for sharing!
I love the salt & peppers and the sugar bowl. The vase does look like McCoy or even Royal Copley.
I love that deer planter so sweet. In fact I love everything you found.
