Our “Pick” this week is just in. A large collection of salt and pepper shakers, many are hand painted early 20th century. They are mainly single salt or peppers so this could be a great opportunity to replace a broken heirloom or make up a set of similar styles. I have seen in this mix shakers made in Bavaria, Japan, Nippon (Early Japan) and Czechoslovakia. The group is mostly hand painted porcelain, there is some luster ware and some nice glass shakers.
Our “Pick” this week is a recent acquisition; “Floats” a limited edition serigraph by Canadian Artist Jon Wilkinson. Mr. Wilkinson was born in Hamilton Ontario in 1940 and recently died in 2012. His work has been exhibited in Canada, Portugal, London and New York. This piece is 11/88, a hard to find early number in the print run. It has been professionally matted and framed and measures about 28″ by 29″ in the frame. The nautical theme of the work would be a fantastic addition to that vacation home or any home for that matter.
This week I am highlighting one of the many new records that we have recently acquired. From 1973 we have the second Tina Turner solo album “Tina Turns the Country On!” Country and Western hasn’t sounded this good since Ray Charles released Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music back in 1962. Just like with Ray’s album, Country songs become R&B and sound like it was always meant to be. Come in soon to see our wide selection of vintage records.
