Black and Gold 1950s vintage pottery - Mid-Century glam!


I just love this swanky 1950s vase with its glossy black finish covered with a textured gold trim! I buy every single piece of the black with gold 1950s pottery pieces I find, and I'm surprised that they haven't yet become a trend among collectors.

EVERY bedroom bookcase sported these pieces. So did the tops of the t.v.s and two tiered end tables! One of the best things about these pieces is how durable they are. 60 plus years and you rarely see a chip, crack or crazing!

So, since I love them, I declare they are the next vintage trend! What do you think?

Ebay too! Find vintage from any old time!



I am finding Ebay to be a great place to buy and sell vintage. Like this darling antique tea caddy! Or stunning beaded purse. I know it will reach more people with Ebay's incredible traffic! Maybe not this time around, but my experience has been that nearly all of my items I list on ebay sell within a few weeks.

As opposed to Artfire that has no traffic to speak of and no plans on attracting it. For that reason, I'm putting my replacement china pieces all on Artfire. Maybe someone will find it there.

And then, for the more quirky, romantic, swanky vintage...my Etsy Shop! Any Old Time Vintage is THE place! Come visit me everywhere!
