Let's Dansk
If there is anything I absolutely can’t resist, it’s Dansk. You would know it anywhere, with its sleek mid-century Scandinavian lines, and gorgeous, standout colors. Dansk is one of the reasons I fell in love with Mid-Century Modern and Danish Modern design. Let’s take a look at this company. Look at the sleek lines of this Dansk lasagna pan in yellow enamel over steel. I have a blue lasagna…

A new post is up - this time all about Partylite!
After a long, long break, I am back on the blog! I hope you enjoy this newest entry on Corning Ware.

While I have enjoyed running this blog, I find I am moving in a different direction these days. I don’t want to lose all the information that I have gathered over the last few years, so I will be leaving this site up. I have closed the shop and won’t be adding any new information to this blog. I will continue to check in, and you can leave comments, but I will not be responding to comments.

Cool Gadget 101
My apologies for being so long away from the blog. Life had a way of intervening at the end of last year, and I lost someone very dear to me. I decided to ease back into the swing of things with a quick post about a very interesting little gadget that I found in my travels. Usually, I put them in my Vintage Eve’s Etsy store, however, this one was something that I found too invaluable to sell!

They Named It DuraPrint
They Named It DuraPrint
The other day in my travels, I ran across a pattern I hadn’t seen before. I was familiar with Homer Laughlin china, which I’ve actually posted about before and is archived here on the Vintage Eve’s blog. I had never seen this pattern, though. It was in their DuraPrint line. Also, new to me, as I hadn’t picked up any pieces in that line before.
12″ Oval Platter
So this gorgeous pattern is…

Noritake From the Beginning
I hope you have been enjoying this summer. Well, here it is summer. It’s been very hot and humid this year in southern New Hampshire, but life is good. Since we only really have three or four months of warm weather, I’ll take it!
As always, I have been on the hunt for new things to add to the Vintage Eve’sshop this summer. I’ve come across some nice pieces, too! I am definitely drawn to fine…

Honorable Mentionables
Honorable Mentionables are those pieces for which little information exists, but are totally worth mentioning.
There’s been a number of new things added to the shop recently. As you know by now if you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, I like to find the backstories and histories on my pieces. However, now and again, there just isn’t much information on a company or a piece. That doesn’t mean that they don’t deserve a mention! So here are some honorable mentionables.
Take a look at this…

Who Were You Frank M?
Who Were You Frank M?
Awhile ago, I found this beautiful set of silver ashtrays and lighter in its original box. Boy, they really knew how to package things back then. These are from the 1920s. Whether you smoke or not, you cannot deny the craftsmanship of this set. The glass and silver are beautiful together.

The mark on them denotes “Frank M. Whiting Sterling.” So who is…

A Toast to Toast Racks
A Toast to Toast Racks
I recently added, and quickly sold, a lovely little silver-plated toast rack. In researching how to price it, I saw so many pretty toast racks it made me wonder how far back these go? Also, when did they actually start making toast? So of course that led me to when did they decide they needed a rack to stand them up and why?
Here is a picture of the toast rack that started this short jaunt.

Super Sascha
I really love finding stuff I’ve never heard of before. Some of the pieces on this blog have caused me to really look deeper into the origins of pieces, which is what I also love. So recently, I came across these pieces. Other than just being an absolutely beautiful design, they were by a designer I was not familiar with, Sascha Brastoff.

Flow Black and Blue
Flow Black and Blue
Over the course of time I have seen and heard of Flow Blue. It’s a type of transferware that was very popular in the early and mid-1800s and is still highly collectible. According to Collectors Weekly, Flow Blue pottery began showing up in the 1820s in Staffordshire England. It was created when lime or ammonia was added to the kiln during the glazing process. The chemical caused the blue…

One of the things I love to find while I’m out and about are vintage cookbooks for a couple of reasons. One being that they sell well in my Etsy shop, the other is that I love thumbing through these vintage books looking at pictures from my childhood and before. Take a look at this one I found recently which I adore.
Famous Eating Places
Those graphics!!!!
It’s actually a cross-collectible for those that collect automobile memorabilia since it was put out by the Ford and Lincoln-Mercury Dealerships back in 1954. I love that there are 4 recipes from my state and many more from all over the United States. One of the restaurants is still standing in Portsmouth, NH, but is not a restaurant anymore, it’s a business. Time marches on.
Here is another one that I really like.
Betty Crocker helps you with all your hostess needs!
These Betty Crocker books have great pictures and recipes. Look at that spread!
Here is another from Betty.
Not sure what that white ring is but I’m all in for that fondue!!
I especially like cookbooks from the 1950s and 1960s. And if you’ve read my many blog entries, you know I love Mid-Century stuff. And that includes cookbooks.
Although, here’s an oldy. A reproduction from the early Williamsburg days.

Obviously, people have been writing down recipes for a long time. Did you know that the oldest recipes ever found were written on clay tablets? Called the Yale Culinary Tablets, they date back to 1700 B.C. They only list the ingredients though and not the directions (Yale Tablets). It was sort of a crap shoot I guess if you got it right. Click the link for more info.
Here’s one that is relevant for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday!
Who knew the cranberry was so versatile!

Does anyone remember the Galloping Gourmet? I remember my dad watching this show on Saturday afternoons.
There he is! Not my dad, the Galloping Gourmet!
There are so many different kinds of cookbooks. One that recently sold in the shop was from the 1960s that was a compilation of Boston Globe recipes. I almost didn’t let that one go. One that I am keeping for now because I need more time to explore it is this one.
Anyone need a recipe for a Teen-Age Square Dance?! Here’s one!
I like the way it reads like a story and I want to try some of the recipes. This one is interesting in that it was written in 1959 and it has a section on cooking for food allergies and another section warning about fad diets. I didn’t think they knew about those issues back then! So I’ll hang on to this one.
Well, I thank you for taking the time to enjoy these great vintage cookbooks with me. Most of them (not all) are available in the Vintage Eve’s shop on Etsy. As always, have a wonderful day and maybe try a new (old) recipe!! If you do, drop me a line and let me know what you made. Always looking for something different to answer that age-old question … what’s for dinner?! My kids don’t even have to wait til I get home to ask anymore, they text me that question now. Time does indeed march on but the question remains the same. Have a great week!
What’s Cooking? One of the things I love to find while I'm out and about are vintage cookbooks for a couple of reasons.

Lovely Old (and sold) Things
I thought it would be interesting to look at some lovely old things that have passed through my store in the last month or so. They are a mix of vintage items that I really couldn’t dig up a lot about so I thought I’d make one post out of 5 of them. Rumpp Shot Glasses with Leather Case 1940s I loved these old shot glasses from the 1940s. Let me tell you, they weren’t in the shop long before they…

The Royal Treatment
One of the things I love to find while I’m hunting for treasures is egg coddlers. A few months back I did a post on them which you can read in the archives. They are lots of fun and I love using my own set. They make a good egg! I’ve got my cooking time mastered to give me a nice soft yolk egg. Just the way I like them. One of the makers of these egg coddlers is Royal Worcester. They don’t just…

Get the Brush!
A few months back, I did a post on McCoy Pottery which talked about the Nelson McCoy connection. That post touched briefly on George Brush who had gone into business with Nelson McCoy, forming Brush-McCoy. This union only lasted until 1918 when they went their separate ways and Brush Pottery became its own business. The Brush-McCoy mark stopped being used in 1925. Brush Pottery Planter in Brown…

Raise the Anchor
I have been away for a bit from the blog due to a very hectic schedule over the last few months! In my other life, I am a Special Ed Teacher and as such, the last few months before school ends are rounds of grading papers, meetings, testing and taking advantage of the good weather if at all possible! But here we are, together again, and I’d like to touch on a company that we have probably all…
