Meet Your Seller
FROM UNCLE VINNY was my mother’s creation. Since I was a child, she would give extra presents to family on holidays, things that she found at thrift stores and garage sales. These gifts were handpicked for the recipient, and we always enjoyed opening them. She would sign the tag from “Uncle Vinny”, after St. Vincent de Paul’s endearing nickname, St. Vinny’s. Uncle Vinny performed his gift-giving duties under my mother’s tutelage for 50 years. Some relatives have known his presence all their lives: one cousin grew up without ever learning the truth behind our second Santa Claus, and she reached adulthood believing that we had some strange, distant uncle who sent us used presents! Today, my family still occasionally takes up Uncle Vinny’s mantle, bestowing thrifted gifts to each other in his name. I carry on the tradition in my own way, reselling vintage treasures I find at the same places mom and I used to shop together. Uncle Vinny lives on. I hope Uncle Vinny has the perfect gift here for you!

(1800s) • Repair to handle & small chips on flowers (see last photo) • 4 3/4" L x 23 1/8" W x 4 1/8" H • 8 fl oz • Unmarked • Made in England This small, copper lusterware jug or creamer sits on a flared foot and is decorated with applied, raised red roses on a cobalt blue band! During the first half of the 19th century, large quantities of lusterware were being produced in British factories, much of which was imported into the U.S. where is was very popular. It was made by applying metallic oxides in an overglaze finish, which was then fired at a lower temperature that reduced oxygen, resulting in a metallic appearance.
