Los Angeles Pottery and Flintwood Salad Servers this Vintage Thingies Thursday

A vintage 1956 “Spaghetti Dinner” pasta bowl reminds me of delicious potato salad which was often served in this bowl by my mom.

This bowl was in mint condition until I got my paws on it! I chipped the edge a few years ago. I still cringe at the memory.

The bottom of the bowl says it was “Made in U.S.A.” in 1956 in Los Angeles, California. I cannot make out the manufacturer.

These chipped and worn 1960’s orange Flintwood melmac salad servers are inseparable from this bowl. They were used to serve the potato salad. I understand they too were made in California. I guess their pairing with the pasta bowl was meant to be!

Happy VTT!

Japanese Luster Ware this Vintage Thingies Thursday

This vintage Japanese luster ware seasoning set with mustard pot, salt and pepper shakers in a handled base spends most of its time in my cupboard. I bought this set in a small antique store too many years ago.

You can see that the spoon for the mustard pot is missing which is how I bought it.

I like the blue and orange color combination.

I don't know when this would have been made in Japan, but I assume it is post 1940's.

Happy Vintage Thingies Thursday at Coloradolady!
