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!

They are hand-painted in the Rose Basket / Trailing Vine pattern by Marie Bohman [1922-1925], a one-time member and officer of the Chicago Ceramic Arts Association and the winner of many exhibition awards. Both pieces are signed, and the bottoms bear the black decal over gold maple leaf Pickard trademark beside the Noritake Nippon blank mark (Van Patten's #68). Wilder A. Pickard started the company in 1894 by offering his customers hand-painted giftware, artware, and eventually dinnerware of the highest quality. Pickard assembled a group of exceptionally talented men and women china painters, many emigrating from Europe, to create this uniquely American style of hand-painted china. This art form quickly grew in popularity and resulted in a company that became one of the preeminent American companies to provide high quality china celebrated–then and now–for its variety of exquisite patterns.
