Cottagecore Grouping of Antique Frames and Photographic Images


I am offering this trio of framed photos as I found them. 

The wedding photo of little people is marked as a post card on the back and is in a lovely pierced metal floral frame with a metal easel back. You would want this lot for this frame alone. It's the coolest one. Also, someone used an old box of chocolates for the backing of this framed image. 
The bare bottom baby on a bear skin rug is also a photo post card I believe but I did not open up the back to find out. Soothing, archetypal picture in a nice wooden east lake type frame.
The man with his goat is an original image and the easel back only works precariously. You would need to reinforce it. The frame is not in great shape. The brass frame can also be wired for wall hanging.
I just loved this ramshackle camp or cottage collection of images grouped together when I saw them and offer them for your consideration and humor. Sure to make you smile and to leave your guests pondering. 

Please be sure to see all the photos and blow them up for the most accurate condition.
Thanks for taking a look.

Royal Crown Derby Imari Crab Paperweight



This absolutely beautiful royal crown derby paperweight in the shape of a crab was made in the 1980s. In excellent vintage condition the crab measures 5 inches wide 3 inches deep and approximately 1 1/2 inches tall. Just the greatest addition to any nautical or coastal themed look.

Hokusai Wave Meets Jonathan Livingston Seagull in Unused 1970s Ceramic Teapot by Otagini Japan




 You got a love the Otagiri import company, they imported what was cutting edge for the second.

This vintage 1970s teapot is oh so part of the explosion of seagull oriented items marketed after Jonathan Livingston Seagull. The designer of this piece, was also nice enough to pick up a little of the great wave at Kanagawa by Hokusai, for flavor.
In very good condition. I don’t think it’s ever seen used as it still has its gold sticker on the bottom. I would call it excellent except during manufacturing there was a glaze skip at the very top of one of the loops that hold the handle one, which doesn’t effect overall look or use.

Brass Ship Wheel Mechanical Cigarette Dispenser Mid 20th Century




Brass ship wheel mechanical cigarette dispenser – probably from the 1940s. The mechanical component raises the lid when the wheel is turned. The mechanical component is very stiff and a bit squeaky but does work. It lifts the lid about an inch high( see photos) which seems to be common in these type of dispensers. In very good condition, it is being sold as is. Priced with a noisy mechanism in mind.
