This bowl was in a basket at St.Vinnies, and it was $3.50, it took my eye right away, so pretty, and it reminds me of things I remember from the '60's. There are no markings on the base so
I have no clue about it's origins, age or value and if any anyone can help I am curious about it.
Vintage or not, I really like it so I will probably keep it!
[Some update info indicates it may be "Fenton" or "Carnival" glass.]
Last week I showed a set of vintage china we found in a house my DH is rehabbing.
That was not all we found though, and this next piece is Noritake I believe according to the "N" marking but my online searching left me none the wiser.

Maybe some other VTT bloggers can take a stab at identifying, I don't think it's very vintage but interesting anyway!
Update, Nippon not Noritake!
The last thing I have to show today also came from the rehab house.......

It says "Hand painted in Italy", there's some kind of mark indented in the surface, but I can't decipher it. Another mystery!
Update, maybe"Capidomonte" ?
I think it's adorable, about 6" across, I thought I could make a pincushion out of it. Gives me an excuse to keep it around!

I don't know anything about origins either, but I love the porcelain basket. It will make a darling pincushion.
Wish I knew something to tell you....but what great finds. I love that little basket....so sweet! Have a great VTT!
I hope you get some info on the bowls, I just love the basket bowl, I have two that are similar!

Really strange...that one mark the N with the crown over it looks like Capodimonte, but it has made in Japan on it and Capodimonte is made in Italy. The darling basket bowl with lid most definitely looks like Capodimonte or at least the flowers on lid do, yet it does not have a crown mark on it...
I like the basket best. You are doing very well on your finds.
Since the piece was Made in Japan, my guess is that the N stands for Nippon (word for Japan) and that the marks above it represent the rising sun, (the symbol of that country). The basket made in Italy looks like Capodimonti to me too. I am not familiar with their pottery marks, but I bet you could find that info online.
The first piece looks like carnival glass to me...I've always liked it and this amber color.
The porcelain pieces are lovely...love that rose!
You have some beautiful finds. The woven basket is gorgeous. ~~Sherry~~
My guess for the first piece, the amber bowl, is Fenton Glass. It is highly collectible and very diverse.
Here's a link to their history:

and a link to their old catalogs:

I forgot to mention, Fenton was the original and largest producer of Carnival Glass, that's why there is a strong resemblance, Hope this helps! Nan
Wow what beautiful pieces!

Happy VTT,

What a bunch of interesting treasures. Those marks can sure be a mystery, can't they? Hopefully, someone will know.
Don't know anything about this kind of thing except what I like. These are great, fun finds!
