enamelware canister – chicorée
Enamelware canisters are a kitchen staple and instantly add a touch of old world charm. Besides being very decorative, they're also very functional! Even ones with a bit of rust on the inside can still be used to store non-food items or other bits 'n' bobs.
This listing is for the one (1) CHICORÉE (chickory) canister shown in the photos. It's quite old with a seam in the back. It has some chips in the usual spots, mainly along the rim of the lid and on the knob. The canister has two extruded bands that have a hand-painted blue stripe with faint gold pin striping above and below. There is also a diamond pattern that's extruded, with the word Café in gold lettering on one of them.
SIZE: 4.5" diameter x 7" tall

While generally in good condition, this canister does have some light brown staining that I was not able to wash off - please take a close look at the photos.

enamelware egg cup
I found this sweet little enamelware egg cup at a market in Brugge, Belgium. It has a nice wide base to collect the shells when peeling the egg.
This listing is for the one (1) egg cup shown in the photos. The pattern is the Saxony or blue onion design, originally Danish but quite popular in most northern European countries.
The egg cup does have some chips and signs of wear but personally, I actually love that part – it lends the piece some authenticity and history.
SIZE: 3.375" diameter at base, 2" diameter cup opening, 2.5" tall

drain plate (oval)
If you love the French Nordic style, you've probably spotted these old drain plates in Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine – they're often displayed in plate racks along with cutting/onion boards and other white ironstone or dishes.
These were originally part of a serving dish where they were used to drain the water or juices from vegetables, meat or fish. They now make great decorative pieces or you can use them as trivets in your kitchen or dining room.
This listing is for the one (1) drain plate shown in the photos with a pretty star pattern formed by the drain holes. It's in good condition for its age, without chips or cracks, just some crazing, minor flea bites and browning here and there. There is no maker's mark on the bottom but it does have a partial blind mark of a number 2.
SIZE: 9.375" long x 6.125" wide x 0.5" deep

cutting board
If you love the French Nordic style and read Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine, I'm sure you've seen these old ceramic and porcelain cutting boards that are so popular and somewhat hard to find. Over the last year or so, I've gathered up a small collection of them and am happy to be able to offer them for sale here!
These are sometimes called onion boards but some folks used them as breakfast plates for sandwiches. They look great displayed with wood cutting boards or ceramic drain plates and as a bonus are fully functional as a cheese board or cutting board!
This listing is for one (1) curved creamy white cutting board. This is the only one available and is much newer than the others (estimating from the 1980s but not sure). It has a mark by Villeroy & Boch on the back and is in good used condition, without cracks or chips, showing just a few signs of where on the cutting surface.
SIZE: 8.75" tall x 5.5" wide x 0.25" thick

candy box with fabric
This lovely old box from France once contained delicious chocolates. The lid depicts an image of Blaise Pascal, a French scientist who lived in the 1600s. The edges of the lid are finished with gilded trim while the sides are covered in a sweet abstract floral fabric. The base and inside of the lid are covered in blue and gold striped paper.
The inside lid reveals that this box was produced by Marquise de Sévigné, a famed chocolatier in Paris that is still in existence today.
While the box does show some signs of age (some water stains on the cover and some general staining inside and along the base of the box), it's still just as sweet as when it was filled with candy!
SIZE: 8" long x 5.25" wide x 1.75" tall

wedding crown display
These ornate displays were created in the late 1800s for a bride & groom and customized with embellishments (flowers, grapes, birds, etc.) that were meaningful to the couple and their families. The number of small mirrors reflect the desired number of children the couple wished for. The bride would use the red pillow to display her wedding crown, usually a wreath made of wax flowers and leaves.
Typically, the structure would be attached to a wood base and housed under a glass cloche, although both are missing from this display.
This display has a large beveled mirror in the center with hand-painted floral detail. There's a large bird with a wreath in its beak at the very top and another smaller bird flying under a floral wreath at the base. There are 7 violets sprinkled throughout along with 4 smaller beveled mirrors. The rest is filled in with a flower-and-leaf shape that's reminiscent of a fleur de lis.
Because this piece is made of bent wire, it wobbles a bit when first placed on a table but it stands securely on its legs, which can be bent a little to level out the display.
SIZE: 15.5" tall x 9.75" at its widest point x 5.5" deep

Victorian hand clip
These little Victorian hand clips are so much fun to use in little vignettes around the home or to display a special love note!
This clip has a bit of rust on the bottom plate, but the top portion (the one visible when clipped to a paper or envelope) is still in good shape, with some of the dark patina rubbed off in spots to reveal the lighter metal underneath.
The spring is still fully functional, although it's been bent a little off-center over the years so the hole in the back plate no longer lines up centered right above the fancy cuffed hand (just something to keep in mind if you decide to hang it on the wall for display).
SIZE: 3.875" long x 2" at its widest point

metal trophy wreath (no. 3)
I instantly fell in love with this style of prize ribbon when I first spotted them – the silver-colored pressed metal is so festive and the detail on the leaves and ribbon is quite intricate!
This long and skinny trophy wreath was found in Belgium and dates back to 1937. The leaves are attached to a metal stick in the back and there's one little acorn attached for luck. The metal has a greenish hue to it but I'm not quite sure whether it's a patina with age or maybe some sort of coloring that was applied and has worn off over time.
The ribbon portion has writing has fewer words than the others, just H.W.B., 2e Pr. (second place) and '37 – no indication what the competition was.
Would look lovely pinned to a mannequin or displayed under a cloche.
SIZE: 6.5" long including the metal stick (so it could be used on a wreath or floral arrangement) x 1.875" at its widest point
