Pottery and glassware are fun areas to get into and collect, especially since they can be very cool and functional at the same time. It could be something for the kitchen, the table or even the fireplace mantle! It always surprises me what I run into, especially when it’s something like this clock.
This very functional electric Royal Oxford Gibraltar clock that dates to the 1920’s. Not only does it sit pretty close to the wall, it doesn’t take up too much room on the mantle so that you can put a lot of picture frames around it on the mantle.
You can see this great clock in my Etsy store here, and another great item for the mantle is a football shaped clock featuring the Dallas Cowboys. You can find a post about the lamp on this blog here. Another still very functional item is this great ice bucket.
It features the TEA ROOM pattern and was made by the Indiana Glass Company from 1926 to 1931. The great thing about it is that it can double as a flower vase as well. You can see the terrific ice bucket in my Etsy store here.

Not too long ago, I found this terrific handmade Camp Fire Girls CAMP WAKAHNI child’s vest at an estate sale. The vest dates to about the 1950’s to the 1960’s, and was part of the uniform that you had when you were a Camp Fire Girl.
The great thing about the vest is that it has multi-colored wooden beads in flower shapes on it, and some patches on the back. You earned the wooden beads for various accomplishments, and then you could sew them on the vest any way you liked.
Needless to say, the girl that had this vest was pretty talented! You can see this great vest in my Etsy store here.
Have you ever run across a fun item like this?
When I first started selling vintage items, I quickly found out that there’s a name for just about every piece out there-even for furniture. I quickly started to learn the names of these pieces when I started to do some basic repairs to the furniture that I bought.
Here’s a few of the terms that I have learned over the years:
Bracket foot–a bracket foot is used on a chest, a chest on chest or even a cabinet. This is a foot that has a straight corner edge and curved inner edges. Sometimes I hear these curved inner edges “scalloped edges”.
Caning—caning is a wood piece that consists of rattan (or even sugar cane) that is made into wicker. There are a wide variety of ways this is used including seats of chairs, patio furniture, etc.
Partner’s desk—a partner’s desk literally looks like two desks that were put together to make one. It’s a desk large enough to seat two people that are facing each other. Each side has their own drawers or cupboards.
What are some of the terms that you have either run across or heard?
