DESCRIPTION

#118 - 1958 vintage Holt Howard Onions Pixie w/ spoofy spoon - $375

Holt Howard made the "Onions" pixies in 1958.  The Onions is more rare than the Jam, Ketchup and Mustard but not as rare as the Chili and Honey.  The less they made of a pixie, the more rare it has become to find these in unrepaired condition... and obviously not as many people flocked to get an onions pixie as they did the jam, ketchup or mustard.  The spoon on the Onions has a hole in the middle for the juice to drain when you picked out an onion.  no chips, cracks, repairs or discoloration.  On close inspection you can see some crazing as you find on all these 50 year old pieces, but nothing that decreases it's value.  

#117 - 1959 Vintage Holt Howard Chili Sauce Pixie w/ spoofy spoon - $825

RARE Holt Howard Chili Pixie.  Next to the Honey, this is the 2nd most rare pixie HH made back in the 50's because they just didn't make many of the Honey and Chili pixies.   The Chili Sauce is has 10 vertical red stripes.  Note there are black spots inbetween the red stripes - Chili Sauce is the only HH pixie that has anything between the vertical stripes.  This line by Holt-Howard was called Pixieware and the attached spoon was fondly referred to as a "spoofy spoon."  I rarely get this beauty to offer to my customers, and even more rare is to be able to offier one in this excellent condition - no chips, cracks, repairs or discoloration.  On close inspection you can see some crazing as you find on all these 50 year old pieces, but nothing that decreases it's value.

#116 - Vintage Beet Baby Salt and Pepper Shakers - $12

What a funny set of baby salt and pepper shakers.  I think they are beets or maybe tomatoe kids.  No chips, cracks or breaks - just a bit of paint wear.  I love the collars on these guys, it is a big ruffle around the neck with gold trimming. They remind me of the anthro pieces PY made but the only marking on the bottom is Japan.  They are 2" tall.

#115 - Vintage Large Pixie in Red - $45

This pixie looks so cute in red..  He has a wonderful face on him and is so whimisical.  He is large too at  4.5" tall and 5.5" wide.  There is a little bit of paint wear as can be seen in the pictures but nothing that I think needs to be touched up... he looks great as he is.  No chips, cracks or breaks.  I would display this guy on Valentine's Day, 4th of July and Christmas.  I had little pom poms that I stuck on the tip of his hat with tacking putty - Green for Christmas, Blue for 4th of July and White for Valentine's day.  He always added smiles to those holidays for me and fitted in with my holiday decorations. 

#114 - Vintage Norcrest Pins N' Things Container - $125

Wow - this is a real find and would be perfect for someone with a new baby boy!  He stands about 4.5" tall and is in the most excellent condition.  I do not see any chips on him at all.  Wonderful piece and so cute!

#113 - Vintage Napco Good Luck Elephant - $12

This is a really pretty porcelain bisque elephant with numerous flowers all over him.  Unfortunately he got the flower on his trunk knocked off so I replaced it with a vintage Coro flower that has a beautiful A/B rhinestone in the middle - I think he looks better with that flower on his trunk!  He is a little over 3" tall.

#112 - Holt Howard Dresser Dollie - Trinkets / Pins - $150

This is a rare piece by Holt Howard called the Dresser Dollie. She is 3" tall and holds trinkets or whatever, I suppose she was originally designed to hold safety pins. There are no cracks or chips but there are a few flea bites around the edge, nothing to detract from the piece and I would rate her in excellent condition for her age. I have taken pictures of all angles for you to view before purchasing. The bottom still retains the Holt Howard sticker.  Reference books show her without the rhinestones so the rhinestones were added as people so often did with these items.... remember when they first came out they were sold in dimestores for a couple bucks!

#111 - Holt Howard Dresser Dollie - Bobby Pins - $150

This is a rare piece by Holt Howard called the Dresser Dollie. She is 4" tall and holds bobby pins. There is a magnet on the inside of the top part to snatch those bobby pins out of the jar. There are no cracks or chips but there are a few flea bites around the edge, nothing to detract from the piece and I would rate her in excellent condition for her age. I have taken pictures of all angles for you to view before purchasing - there are a couple black spots in the hair, these are not scratches but rather black paint that got on the hair during the manufacturing process. The bottom still retains the Holt Howard sticker.  Reference books show her without the rhinestones so the rhinestones were added as people so often did with these items.... remember when they first came out they were sold in dimestores for a couple bucks!

#109 - 1950's Holt Howard Honey w/ Spoofy Spoon - $975 - SOLD

You've heard there was one, you've wanted one... now here is your chance.  This is the rarest HH Pixie, the Honey Pixie condiment.  The Honey has 10 vertical stripes that match her hair.  This line by HH was called Pixieware and the attached spoon was fondly referred to as a "spoofy spoon."  I rarely get this beauty to offer to my customers, and even more rare is to be able to offier one in this excellent condition - no chips, cracks, repairs or discoloration.  On close inspection you can see some crazing as you find on all these 50 year old pieces, but nothing that decreases it's value. 

#108 - PY Anthro Jam Jar - $35

PY was known for all the wonderful anthro items they made for the kitchen.  This is a jam or marmalade jar with spoon.  She stands about 4 1/2" tall.  Wonderful condition.  There are two very small chips on the bottom green that have repaired and don't show unless you look close - they have been filled in painted and glazed.

#107 - Vintage Mexican Mustard Condiment Holder - $42

Wonderful Mexican man mustard condiment.  There is a groove in the back of his head where a spoon fits.  Excellent condition!  He is 5" tall. 

#106 - Vintage Holt-Howard Jam 'n Jelly Pixie - $145

Holt Howard Jam 'n Jelly pixie with spoofy spoon.  Blonde hair cutie licking her lips after tasting some of that great jam in the jar!  The Jam, Ketchup, and Mustard pixies are the ones you see most as everyone used these three condiments so HH made more of them.  The Jam has 11 vertical stripes.  But since they were used alot, you often see the neck or spoon broken, or discloring on the bottom/top from the condiment.  This piece has none of those defects - it is in wonderful condition with no chips, cracks or breaks.  The colors are very vibrant and there is no discoloring on the spoon or the jar.    On close inspection you can see some crazing as you find on all these 50 year old pieces, but nothing that decreases it's value. 

#105 - Vintage Mrs Clause Condiment Jar with Spoon attached to Head - $28

This is a cute Mrs. Santa Clause condiment jar for the holidays.  Her spoon is NOT broken and there are no cracks but she has been "around" and there are a number of places of wear on her.  She displays wonderfully and will add some holiday cheer to your Christmas tablesetting. 

#105 - Vintage Santa Condiment Jar with Spoon attached to Head - $28

This is a cute vintage Santa condiment jar for the holidays.  His spoon is NOT broken and there are no cracks but he has been "around" and there are a number of places of wear on him.  He displays wonderfully and will add some holiday cheer to your Christmas tablesetting. 

#104 - Vintage Sushi Boats - Huge 17" Long! - $25

Now this is something you don't see every day.  It is a 17" Sushi Boat.  I have 3 for sale.  These were purchased in the early 80's when I lived in San Francisco. They are used at the Sushi Bars that had water and the sushi boats floating in the water with things for the customers to pick off the top of the tray!  Obviously I didn't have that setup at my house but they made wonderful, decorative serving dishes for suchi, salads, and anything else.  They are all in great condition as I never used anything in them that would harm the finish. 

#103 - Vintage Enesco Girl Lipstick Holder - $65

This is a gorgeous vintage lipstick made in the 50's by Enesco.  She is 6" tall and in excellent condition.

#102 - Vintage Perfume Bottle with Flowers - $16

This is such an elegant cerramic perfume holder standing 6" tall.  There is a pretty rose on the body of the holder and gold is applied at the top, around the edges of the fluted bottle, the neck, legs and on the leaves of the flower.  The piece is in excellent condtion with no chips or cracks. 

#101 - Commodore Vintage Pansy Candle/Perfume Holder - $25

At first I thought this was a perfume holder because I bought it in an estate lot with a lot of perfume holders.  It is really unique and haven't ever seen anything like this before.  The candle holder is a pansy and then the middle of the flower pulls out to put the candle in the holder!  So when you aren't using it, you stick the piece in the middle and it looks like a pansy flower display.  The violet hugger fits on the taper candle.  Such a great vintage piece!  You could use it as a candle holder or perfume holder I guess.  Excellent condition with no chips and cracks.

#100 - Lefton Vintage Flower Candle/Perfume Holder - $14

At first I thought this was a perfume holder because I bought it in an estate lot with a lot of perfume holders.  It is really unique and haven't ever seen anything like this before.  The candle holder is a flower bouquet and the middle flower pulls out to put the candle in the holder!  So when you aren't using it, you stick the piece in the middle and it looks like a flower display.  Such a great vintage piece!  You could use it as a candle holder or perfume holder I guess.  I think this is Lefton but I'm not positive.  Excellent condition with no chips and cracks.

#99 - Vintage Stacking Canisters w/Holt Howard Pixie Finale - $89

Vintage Stacking Canister set with Holt Howard Pixie Head finale. These were the popular kitchen colors back in the 50's so would look wonderful displayed in a vintage kitchen... plus it's useful! The top Potato Chip container is 6" in diameter and if you want to place it in storage for moving, the containers all fit into the top one.  There is minimal paint wear on the containers and overall height of the piece is 13". The pixie head shows no paint wear and there are no chips or cracks on the set. If you want to use it to store something else, just turn the snack name around to the back. This is such a wonderful set!

#94 - Vintage Holt-Howard Cocktail Olives Pixie - $325 - SOLD

Holt Howard made the "Olives" pixies in 1958.  Made with a flat head and the features of the head were representative of what went in the container.... in this case the pixie is an olive color with an olive as a nose!  Instead of a spoon attached to the head, there was a fort to get those olives out.  Then in 1959 they made some of the pixies as "Cocktail Olives" which are quite rare as they didn't make that many.  The green pixie head color on the Cocktail Olives is a lot darker than the regular olives (see large picture of the Cocktail Olives pixie head by a regular Olives pixie head).  The condition is wonderful - it is an excellent example of the rare Cocktail Olives pixie.  On close inspection you can see some crazing as you find on all these 50 year old pieces, but nothing that decreases it's value. 

#93 - Vintage Lefton ESD Hawaiian Instant Coffee Pixie - $199

Lefton ESD Instant Coffee Pixie.  Lefton had a number of pixies made in Canada back in the 50's with the ESD ink marking on them.  This is the rare Instant Coffee pixie with the rubber collar and spoon attached to the head.  All the Lefton pixies had round heads (not flat like Holt Howard).  The ESD pixies have little pictures on the container representing what was inside... in this case coffee beans!  This pixie girl has a very bohemian hawaiian look to her with the flowers in her hair and flowers around her neck, she is adorable!  This piece is in wonderful condition with no chips or cracks on the head or spoon. There are a couple of blemishes in the paint but they were done in the manufacturing process so not considered flaws.  There is one repair? to her - it looks like there was a small surface chip that someone tried to repair - you can see it in the large picture.  It does not decrease the value much since it's not on the pixie head and not on the face of the item. 

#92a - Vintage Lefton Angel Boy Lipstick/Candle Holder - $25

This is a pretty Angel Lipstick holder or Candle holder by Lefton.  Since I don't burn candles in my house, she is a lipstick holder to me.  She has pearlescent wings and is so beautiful!  Excellent condition and about 3" tall.

#92b - Vintage Lefton Angel Girl Lipstick/Candle Holder - $25

This is a pretty Angel Lipstick holder or Candle holder by Lefton.  Since I don't burn candles in my house, she is a lipstick holder to me.  She has pearlescent wings and is so beautiful!  Excellent condition and about 3" tall. The color is a little off on this one, it isn't that bright white.  It is more the color of the one above. 

#91 - Vintage Napco Grandma Mustard Holder - $36

This is a a pretty Mustard container that has a spoon attached to the head (like the Holt Howard pixie contiment holders).  She is 4 1/2" tall and in great condition with no cracks or chips.

#89 - Vintage Glass Flower - $3

I've had this glass flower for at least 10 years.  They probably make them today so I'm not selling it for the "vintage" quality.. just thought someone may want it.  It is 8" long and a very vibrant orange with a transparent green glass stem.  I used to stick it in with flowers I got in my garden for a bit of orange in the bouquet.  No chips or cracks. 

#88 - Vintage Holt-Howard Mustard Pixie - $145

Holt Howard Mustard pixie with spoofy spoon.  John Howard was a hoot when he created these pixies... here is the Mustard pixie looking just like most of us would if we took a big scoop of mustard and put it in our mouth!    His 11 stripes are the color of his face.  The Jam, Ketchup, and Mustard pixies are the ones you see most as everyone used these three condiments so HH made more of them. But since they were used alot, you often see the neck or spoon broken, or discloring on the bottom/top from the condiment. This piece is in wonderful condition with no chips, cracks or breaks.  The colors are very vibrant and there is no discoloring on the spoon or the jar.  On close inspection you can see some crazing as you find on all these 50 year old pieces, but nothing that decreases it's value. 

#87 - Japanese Trinket Holder - $18

This is such a pretty, colorful Japanese trinket holder.  She is ceramic and has a hinged top so she opens up to hold those little treasures.  She is 3 1/2" tall.

#85 - Vintage MG Bee Measuring Cups - $15

This is the MG Bee Measuring Cup set.  It is missing the 1/4 cup.  The rest of the cups are in excellent condition so thought maybe someone may need replacements for their 1, 1/2 and 1/3 cup!

#84 - Two Stainless Steel Cat Bowls - $10

OK, these aren't vintage or "collectibles" but didn't have anywhere else to put them!  These are two stainless steel cat bowls 2" deep.  The stainless bowl part is 4 1/4" wide; the diameter from the rubber on the bottom is 6 1/4".   These have scratches on the bottom from use but they still have a long life left!  The rubber on the bottom is great because they don't move

#83 - Oil Vinegar Containers - $12

Neat set of ceramic oil and vinegar containers.  They have a cork stopper with a pourer in the middle.  They don't look to have been used much if any.  No Marks on the bottom and I have no idea how old they are.

#82 - Vintage Davar Lan Sakes Davar Pill Nodder - $98

This is a real find.... a Davar "Lan Sakes... Take these for Headaches" Pill boy nodder.  These were made around the same time all the pixie condiments were made and are really rare as they didn't make that many of them.  There were 6 to the set and each one is for a different pill.  They have a screw on top with a spring that holds heads with different expressions.  Not only are they rare to find, but they are also rare to find with the right head on!  You sometimes will see the wrong head on a bottom.  This piece has the right top for the bottom.  The quality of these is pretty bad. There are a lot of flaws on this guy as seen in the pictures.  But they are so cute you just have to love them and forgive them for their flaws.

#81 - Vintage Holt Howard "Some Bunny Loves Me!"  - $49

This is an adorable candle hugger and base.  I also use the bunny and base to hold lipstick when I need just a touch of Easter in my master bath.  The piece is in excellent condition.

#80 - Vintage Holt-Howard Ketchup Pixie - $145

Holt Howard Ketchup pixie with spoofy spoon.  The ketchup has a tomatoe like head and 11 vertical stripes.  The Jam, Ketchup, and Mustard pixies are the ones you see most as everyone used these three condiments so HH made more of them. But since they were used alot, you often see the neck or spoon broken, or discloring on the bottom/top from the condiment.This piece is in wonderful condition with no chips, cracks or breaks.  The colors are very vibrant and there is no discoloring on the spoon or the jar.  On close inspection you can see some crazing as you find on all these 50 year old pieces, but nothing that decreases it's value. 

#79 - Vintage Condiment Holder - $32

This is a really cute and unique condiment holder.  It was most likely made for Jam.  It is about 6" long and in great conidtion.

#73 - Vintage Salt & Pepper Shakers in Donkey - $72

What a cute set this is. A Donkey with Harlequin shakers. This set is shown in the Harlequin reference book but makes no reference if the donkey was made by Harlequin so it may be a go with that was purchased back then to put the shakers in. The shakers do fit perfectly in the donkey. There are rubber tips on donkey feet and tail, and the donkey is made out of metal. The set is in wonderful shape. Note: I keep this set by my kitchen sink and use the donkey tail to put my rings on when I wash my hands. So you get two in one.... a shaker and ring holder! What a versatile little donkey! :)

#72 -  1957 Vintage Imperial Candlewick Fan Vase - 1st one made!! - $75

This is a beautiful Candlewick vase standing 8 1/2" tall and almost 8" wide at the top.  No chips or cracks.  The vase is in great shape.  I don't really know how to take pictures of clear glass but if you want any better pictures, let me know.

#71 - Vintage Girl Lipstick Holder from Whales - $46

Really pretty Lipstick or perfume holder.  I have seen a trinket holder with this same girl and it had a sticker from Whales so I am assuming this gal is from there too.  She is 5 1/2" tall and 6.5" wide.  A little of the gold is worn on the edges, it looks to be more a cold paint than glazed on. She is in great condition.

#69 - Chic Shabby Vintage Rose Wall Plaque $18

6 1/2" diameter Rose Wall plaque.  Made of chalkware with a hanger on the back.  The background is an ivory and the roses are a pearl white with pink.  The leaves are sage color.  Would look wonderful in a chic shabby decor

#68 1957 Vintage Holt Howard Pixie - 1st one made!! - $49

This is the little guy that started the HH pixie craze.  He was made in 1957 and then the Pixie Spoofy Head pixies followed in 1958 and 1959.  He has bisque matte flesh tone and a pearlescent ivory outfit.  This guy and his base are versatile!  I am showing a few ways I use him..... toothpick holder, lipstick holder, candle hugger and base.  During holidays I mingle him with holiday picks.  He just seems to add a little whimsy to every corner of the house because his is just 3" tall and fits anywhere.  Condition is excellent.

#67 1957 Vintage Holt Howard Pixie - 1st one made!! - $49

This is the little guy that started the HH pixie craze.  He was made in 1957 and then the Pixie Spoofy Head pixies followed in 1958 and 1959.  He has bisque matte flesh tone and a pearlescent ivory outfit.  This guy and his base are versatile!  I am showing a few ways I use him..... toothpick holder, lipstick holder, candle hugger and base.  I have also filled the base with water and put a gardenia in it.  During holidays I put a flower in his arms (red for Christmas, orange for Thanksgiving, pink for Easter... and so on).  He just seems to add a little whimsy to every corner of the house because his is just 3" tall and fits anywhere.  Condition is excellent.

#64 Vintage Holt-Howard Onions Pixie - $375 - SOLD

Holt Howard made the "Onions" pixies in 1958.  The Onions is one of the most rare pieces as they didn't make as many of them as they did the Jam, Ketchup and Mustard.  The spoon on the Onions has a hole in the middle for the juice to drain when you picked out an onion.  This condition is wonderful - it is an excellent example of the rare Onions pixie. Also included is the Onions Pixieware box.  It is in pretty bad condition but a nice piece of history to have with the container.  On close inspection you can see some crazing as you find on all these 50 year old pieces, but nothing that decreases it's value. 

#63 Vintage Davar Piggy Bank - $48

Now this is a Piggie Bank!  Three pigs sitting one on top of the other.  The hole to put the coins is on the top and the original stopper is in the bottom of the bank.  There is a little paint wear but no chips and cracks.  It is in overall great condition.

#62 Vintage Enesco Mouse Toothpick Holder - $36

Such a cute guy!  This is an Enesco mouse toothpick holder that is 5" tall.  There is a hole in the hand to hold one toothpick, and then a big hole in the cheese to hold a bunch of toothpicks.  Excellent condition!

#61 Vintage Lefton Measuring Cup Lady - $55

What a cute measuring cup set!  Each cup has the measurement on the inside of the cup - 1 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup and 1/4 cup.  The top part of her head holds 2 Tablespoons.  This looks to be made by Lefton.  MG made sets like this with bees on them but the bottom outside of the cups were unglazed.  This set has glaze on the outside and is more finely done.  The condition is excellent except for a small chip that has been repaired on the back of the 1 cup - can't even tell it's there unless you hunt for it.

#60 Vintage Ucagco Pixie Trinket Holder - $48

This cute pixie is 7" long.   He looks cute laying on his back but he also can stand vertical if you want him just as a display piece.  I suppose the way his hands are that he could be an ashtray too but just can't imagine anyone putting cigarettes in him... he obviously wasn't used as an ashtray as the inside is nice and clean.  Great conditon with no chips or cracks.  The Ucago label is still on the back.
