RANDOM 341 OBJECTS
FULL SET of 3 HALL CHINA Tavern SILHOUETTE Nesting MIXING BOWLS 1930s-$16
There are no chips, no cracks and only the lightest of marks on the inside, which are more likely the result of them being nested than from use. I doubt you’ll discover a nicer set.
Each bowl has three of those tavern scenes with two old poops discussing something of great importance.

FINE 1935 Vintage HALL China SILHOUETTE Complete COFFEE POT w LID & Drip Basket-$29
The first day I walked into the home in southern Indiana where I was being asked to purchase the contents from the heirs, I felt like I was a child again – walking into my own Grandmother’s house. There was Heisey Glass in the china cabinets and Hall China accessories in the kitchen – the only thing missing was Grandma’s pitch pump beside the sink. (That’s what we called “running water.”)
This outfit is in fine condition with only the most minor wearing of the gold in a place or so. I doubt you’ll ever see a nicer example.
Just for grins, I tested the black handle on the aluminum. It is Bakelite.
