This is a song printed in the Boston Sunday Advertiser Green Magazine on Jan 11, 1942. On one side is the song Remember Pearl Harbor written by Don Reid and Sammy Kaye. On the back of the newspaper is half of an article showing map of Pacific Ocean with location of ships, naval & army bases, etc. One caption says, "Warships, planes, tanks in astrological numbers are the prime requisites of the United States' plan to crush Japan. This map shows the broad strategy of the United Nations."
This may have been a wedding present to my parents (1959) or it may have belonged to my grandmother I am not sure. There are 3 additional saucers but only 1 cup and saucer.
The painting on these is beautiful and the colors are vibrant. Looks like some gold leaf but I do not have the expertise to be sure. The scene is 2 elaborately dressed geishas with an arched bridger and some buildings in the background. No written symbol - just some Japanese characters in gold paint on an orange rectangle. The mark on the teacup seems to be different from tha mark on the saucer. Some of the paint looks to be worn off of the saucer where the geisha on the left is holding her fan.
This mini pitcher looks like a creamer to me. It has what looks to be hand painted flower buds in dark pink outlined in gold on one side and pink, purple and blue flowers with a butterfly on the other side. The handle is painted gold and there is a gold leaf pattern on the underside of the spout. There is a small amount of wear away of the paint on the handle. The colors are very vibrant.
The stamp on the bottom says AUSTRIA and then there is a circle with some writing on the edge with a figure in the middle.
Its in a barn in lower marlboro maryland, on my grandmothers property. The house is registered with the historical society and dates back to the 1700s. In the remaining barn is a tobacco press that was used to press tobacco, to hang in the barn. The press is good condition, and could be made to work if restored. Any idea what the value of the tobacco press would be?
