The Catalena/Gladding Mc Bean pottery Lady with Fan Head Vase C-803, Aqua glaze, designed by Dorr Bothwell, in 1937 was a Flea Market find, on July 1st, 2023. and what a find, rare and in perfect condition! Here is a site that has information about this Vase and the Designer: Ceramics – Zacha's Bay Window Gallery (williamzacha.com) I'll post it in Comments!
The Northwood Glass Opalescent Blue Rose Bowl with crimp edge top, and stand base, in the Button Panel Pattern, was made in the late 1800's. This piece is about 4 1/4" tall and 4 1/2" at the widest.
The Carved Leather Handbag is by Leaders in Leather and made in Paraguay.
The vintage? early 1990's (funny to me) Halloween tapestry table runner, was a nice find! :^D
Thank You for taking a look, all comments about this post, are welcome, and Appreciated! Bill :^)

Thank You for looking! Bill :^)
Bill, that info about the Catalena Pottery Head Vases was very interesting. I recently acquired a “Bab’s” Head Vase, a modern-made ceramic vase but I can’t help but wonder if the idea for “Bab’s” head vases originated from the Catalena versions.
There’s just something perfect about a vase designed as a pretty lady holding freshly cut flowers. :^)
Also, lovely crimped-rim aqua vase and very pretty leather handbag….all done in one of my favorite colors. And the Halloween table runner: my birthday is the day before so I always looked forward to the holiday. :^D
You always find interesting items.
Thank You Patricia, I was very happy to find that Site, and stumbled upon it, looking for the Catalina Vase, very good information, on it, and the Gallery is not that far away, but it may be closed now! :^( The Rose bowl, Bag, and Table runner, everything on this post were such great buys, even with people checking everything out with their cell phones, a keen eye, can still find a great Buy! :^D
Thank You all for taking a look, and leaving a love for what You saw, dav2no1, Kevin, DejaVu2, Mike, BHIFOS, Brian, and Patricia, always nice to get and appreciated! Bill :^)
