Vintage Pitchers

I have a few vintage pitchers. Since I have more than three, I guess you could say I have a collection.  Someone once told me that if you have at least three of something, you have a collection.

If you look close you will see three pitchers on top of my china cabinet. The turquoise on the left is new Fiesta, the dark  green one on the right is old Fiesta, I got it at a yard sale for $5. I don't know who made the pretty one in the middle that has a yellow rose on the front of it. It is a Fiesta look a like.


Here is another old Fiesta look a like. My sister in law got it for me at a thrift store. I don't know who made it, do any of you?

I got this old pitcher at a neighbor's yard sale.  It is made in Liverpool.


   


This pretty one with the bees on it was made in Japan.
This one with the wheat design and matching glasses sits on top of one of my freezers.
This pretty yellow one sits behind it with old tulip glasses surrounding it.
I guess you can tell I like yellow.

Today I added another one to my collection. It is Hall and I got it at the thrift store. It is called a ball jug pitcher. My kitchen is red and yellow, so I just had to get it.
There is only one problem. It has a chip on it. It is a recent chip, I'd say it probably happened at the thrift store. But, I only paid 25 cents for it, so I guess I shouldn't complain. I will just have to turn it so the chip will not be seen.
 I am trying to get rid of some of my 'stuff.' I am having a yard sale this summer and I am determined to sell some of it. But, everytime I start to sort, I say, "Oh, I like this, I don't want to get rid of this." 

I guess we will  just have to wait and see.
