Wm. R. Robertson Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Neat stuff..... Just guesses on my part...... The wicker might have been a class project at the Ashland, Va, "Back to College" event held at Randoph Macon College. It was hosted by Jackie and Joe Andrews with a lot of help from a local group........ It was sort of like a Guild School before there was GS...... Just a weekend in June and was it hot down there...... And for years there was no air conditioning!The tea pot could be a early work of Muriel Hopwood of the UK but that is just a guessThe others I don't know.... But have seen the "P" somewhere......... Maybe look for similar things in the Kruger collection,http://www.fineminiaturesforum.com/index.php?/topic/18-a-website-with-thousands-of-identified-miniatures-from-the-70-80s/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElgaKoster Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Diane, the second mustard crock pot I am pretty sure is by Elizabeth Causeret from France, I have one of her pieces and just went to check the signature, she still makes and sells, there is a lot of her items on Swan house miniatures.http://swanhouseminiatures.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=82&sort=20a&page=13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Paone Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Thank you Elga. I thought it might be one of her pieces but I could not locate a sample of her signature anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wm. R. Robertson Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 The tea pot and other ceramic thing are Elizabeth Chambers, the pair of vases are by Emily Good, she was an incredibly talented miniaturist for over 40 years. Her day job was a nuclear physicist. She also holds the record for the artist with the most pieces in National Museum of Toys and Miniatures, I'm second!I am lucky to have met them both.

ElgaKoster Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 This thread reminded me of items I bought in NY in 2013 that I don't know the makers of, first is these tiny porcelain figures marked with the initials B.N. and a date of 1996.And these two metal and enameled candle sticks marked P.J.

D. Paone Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Elga can you add pictures of the signatures?I think the B.N might be Betty Neiswender of Keramos Ceramics out of Las Vegas Nevada.I believe the candlesticks are by Recollect Studios (Carol & Jeff Backman, & Paul Jago.
