What Is This? Posted by Judie and David on June 22, 2008, 4:53 pm 76.205.214.49 A friend saw this item the other day, and asked us to identify the form and purpose. We haven't a clue! He thinks it may be a wig stand. Help!  Post a Response

Posted by Andrew J Pye on June 26, 2008, 12:32 pm, in reply to "What Is This?" 84.92.89.69 Hi Judie and David It is an Ivy vase, which date from the 1950s up to when Maling closed in 1963. It is found most often in Pheasant (as in Asiatic Pheasants) pattern and Corinth - as here. Maling also made them for the US importers S&S Agencies, which sold under the Crownford China and Royal Crownford trade names, so they are probably more likely to be found over there than here now. Why Ivy? Well you put your small potted ivy plant in and the tendrils hang decoratively down the sides. Regards Andrew  Post a Response
