A classic Scandinavian design on this large yellow enamel bowl. Based on our research, we are attributing this to have been manufactured by Finel, of Finland in the 1960’s and designed by Kaj Franck. However, it is unsigned so we cannot be sure. Some (most excellent!) wear along the rim and minor scratching on the base and interior. This is versatile- use it for decor or utilize it in the kitchen.
Dimensions [10” diameter x 6” deep]
Set of three nesting brass ashtrays. Round shape with brutalist-style sculptural design- very MCM. Made in China. Great vintage condition with some expected wear and patina. Price includes set of three.
Dimensions [from smallest to largest: 5.5, 7, and 8” diameter x 1” deep]
This set is striking in it’s simplicity. Gorgeous matted/framed black and white wood block prints. We can’t quite make out the artist’s name (bottom right corner). This set includes three prints: a street scene, harbor scene, and a what appears to be a castle-like structure and grounds. These would look beautiful on a small wall space, hung one above the other. Price includes set of 3.
Dimensions [8.25” across x 6.75” tall]
Made for Greater Portland Landmarks, Inc., this print, which appears to be of watercolor and ink medium, captures the Guptill Building in the 1970’s (we think, based on the style and car depicted in the scene). The Guptill building is a well-known landmark in Portland Maine’s “Old Port” district. Professionally framed and in good vintage condition. There is some wear along the frame, as pictured. We sourced this in NJ, of all places, only to bring it home to Maine!
Dimensions [18” across x 25” tall]
Original oil painting on stretched canvas depicting what looks like a “slice” of a downtown/city neighborhood featuring interestingly shaped and hued buildings. Perhaps that is a mosque or other elegant building in the background? Unsigned. Given the style of the wood frame and aged-look around the corners on the canvas, we are placing this as midcentury, possibly earlier. On the back is a sticker from a storage/moving company in NYC, along with what we assume is a last name, “Canton.”
Dimensions [20” across x 16” tall]
This large stoneware jug has a gorgeous handpainted motif- cobalt blue floral pattern intermixed with birds. This would look stunning atop a bookshelf, a stack of books, or in the center of a kitchen table. There is wear and repair, as pictured, particularly around the opening/neck and handle. Very “French country.”
Dimensions [13.5” tall x 6” across from handle to spout x 27” circumference at widest point]
Gorgeous set of vintage pink-glass candle holders with etched floral design around the base. These are likely examples of depression glass. Excellent vintage condition with no apparent chips or blemishes. Price includes set of two.

Large antique stoneware serving bowl with handpainted depictions of nursery rhymes (we think…doesn’t that look like Mother Goose and Little Bo Peep, though?). This would make a beautiful centerpiece, a one-of-a-kind baby shower gift, or a conversation piece at your next family-style dinner party. Signed on the bottom: Made in Germany, along with an “H.” Excellent vintage condition from the early 1900’s. Fun fact: it belonged to our great-aunt!
Dimensions: [13.5” diameter x 5” deep]
