Monroe of Meriden

The dress is made of a black brocade fabric

This 1940s dressing gown has elbow length sleeves with a small puff at the shoulder seam

This is a wonderful 1940s fur jacket or short coat - it possibly may date to the late 1930s given the small “puff” at the sleeve top

this jacket looks to have seen very little use and has been well cared for over the years

Large Mid Century Modern Raymor Centrepiece Bowl Italian Pottery Wall Plaque Fantoni Era pierced ears Monroe of MeridenThis is a mid century modern Italian pottery centrepiece bowl made during the Fantoni era. Ive seen similar vase motifs by Fantoni, but I believe that this one is simply based on Fantoni, not by him, as it is unsigned except for Italy. The piece is made in an oval bowl form that is pointed at either end. The ceramic is fairly thick and the back base is pierced and has a wire that could be used to hang the plaque on a wall. There are some edge flakes
