I previously posted a photo of an oil on canvas painting titled Still Life with Tumber, Wedgewood Pitcher and Fruit from artist Marion Patten in 1930.
For me, the mood the painting evokes is satisfaction. On October 17, 2011, I posted a photo of a sage green vase I’d found that reminded me of two similar blue vases I had when I was young. I thought they might have been free gifts with Avon products. Mark L suggested they looked like jasper (as in Wedgwood Jasperware), which I then searched and couldn’t find anything similar to what I own(ed). Wedgwood Jasperware can be expensive, and the white designs are raised on them. The white on my vase(s) is painted, and I knew what I had were not expensive, then or now.
Since I’m having to edit every post as part of the big blog attack clean-up (hello, still in 2011, eek), and reread that post, I searched again, once again trying, “avon,” “wedgwood,” and “jasperware.” While it’s not proof, both the blue and green vases are listed on eBay, Etsy, Poshmark, and Mercari with various descriptions that include those words, along with “replica.” So I think I was correct back in 2011 by thinking they were free gifts with Avon products circa the 1960s/1970s.
