Handmade, homemade - possibly a "make do" when a favorite china figurine was damaged.

Excellent, unfaded velvet - pink and green - with green embroidery - and an attached matching sewing strawberry. The tail is black velvet, appropriate for the grey and black coloration of the china dog head.

Hand painted dog head with only a bit of the black paint missing to the tips of the ears and the top of the nose...

These two little dishes have identical designs, but are enameled in different palettes.

Looking at the back of the dishes, one can see the design outline impressed into the copper metal. I believe this is called champleve.

In very good condition with only one tiny ding to the blue surround.

I would use these pieces as dresser trays for earrings or hair clips...

All Items : Popular Collectibles : Specialty : Souvenirs : Pre 1910 item #1135656 (stock #274a)
Blackbird Antiques
$58.00

Measurements: 4 1/4" long with Art Nouveau design of flowers and leaves produced by the Adams Manuf. Co. in 1905.

The metal is silver plate over brass.

The name on the spoon - Eurtrophia - is the name of a horse breeding farm in Ohio. (The word, eutrophia, refers to nutrition.)

I believe the spoon is a souvenir spoon from this equestrian farm, but that is only my best guess.

Perhaps it was a souvenir of a turn of the century spa/health farm which focused on good nutrition.
