Vintage English Red Transferware

This collection of vintage red transferware china is quite nice.  The pieces, which range from teapots to teacups, are all from pre-WWII.  There are three different patterns.  We have Mason's Vista in mulberry; Copeland's Spode Tower in pink; and Enoch Woods' English Scenery in red.  Come on in while we still have a varied selection -- or email us and we can send details and photos.

12 Days in Paris: Flea Markets

Image
Paris flea markets range from neighborhood markets (the Paris equivalent of garage sales, which are not allowed in Paris) to brocante markets (like the one we went to at Porte de Vanves) to the antique flea markets (such as the Paris Flea Market at Clingnancourt). Starting at the high end, we went to the Marche les Puces Saint Ouen at Porte Clignancourt – better known as The Paris Flea Market (Intersection of rue des Rosiers and rue Paul Bert, 18e, Métro: Porte de Clignancourt). This “market” is actually a dozen markets scattered over several streets in the area. The market is large, confusing and many of the antiques are expensive. We started at Marche Paul Bert and Serpette, then over to Marche Biron. These markets are typically high end. Great to look at and you will definitely see things not available here in the Bay Area. We eventually got over to Marche Vernaison where we were more at home with the brocante shops. Marche Paul Bert and Serpette We didn’t bu...

Three ivory and bone handled corkscrews from the late 1800s or so.  (L to R) •    Bone handled corkscrew with a diamond cut shaft, an original brush and a...

NEW ... DIY Paints from Vintages and Tattered Angels

Image
Introducing two new products at Vintages. These are paints from Tattered Angels … their newest paint is a chalk or milk paint that is truly special, while the other is a wonderful highlighting paint. Both are new to us … and both are in stock. With the crafters’ love of refinishing, remodeling, repairing, reusing, repurposing and redesigning on the rise, we felt there was a need for professional quality paints that do what they say it will do. The Decor & DIY Paint is just what the DIY doctor ordered when it comes to a great chalk paint option that can be applied to just about any surface. This paint is available in a cup container that covers about 25 square feet of space depending on the number of coats. This durable paint goes on with a smooth, strong finish. Unlike other brands on the market, DIY paint is there to stay and is not easily scratched or rubbed off. We have the DIY Paint available in eight amazing colors. These do not ...
