A set of 4 vintage cups, possibly from a camping set. Hard to tell how old it is but the chips in the enamel have the proper dark patina metal of vintage graniteware.
Watch out for graniteware in mint condition with a spatter pattern. Highly likely it is brand new and made in China.
This is another Rose Bowl Flea Market find.
Love everything about these fort... especially that cheerful color :)
Thank you very much Aimathena. They do add a bit of color to the kitchen.
Thank you aghcollect.
Thank you tom61375 and vanskyock24
I'm glad you posted. I see this more and more often at the thrifts. Usually in blue. I suspected repros. I wonder if there is a significant weight difference?
Thank you AmberRose. I was planning on doing a post on Graniteware vs Spatterware. Anyway note the swirl pattern on the cups. The new stuff from Cina is similar but has more like blobs of paint instead of the swirl. I'll try and get to it tonight, will have it up by Sunday.
Thank you Hunter.
PS there is vintage spatterware but it looks different from the new stuff. And yes blue is the #1 color. Not sure about the weight but I passed on some pieces recently because it seemed too light. Made my spidey sense tingle.
Thank you
