    I don't know if this is chalk ware or ceramic. I don't think it's porcelain. I thought it was cute, so I grabed it out of a dollar bin at a garage sale. Can anyone tell me anything about it? Thank you...

      Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this.

      looks like a flower trough (at least that's what they're called in glass). made in various shapes and used to arrange flowers for a centerpiece. the rounded shaped could sit around a centerpiece/console bowl...
    3. sallysue2, 6 years ago
      thank you...I'll look at some of those and see how they compare. I just don't have a clue as to what these are.

      at this garage sale, these pieces were in a tub of cups and saucers. the lady having the sale said they were her g'mother's and the g'mother had passed away. I first thought maybe these were tea bag trays / troughs which maybe circled a tea cup or coffee cup. Thoughts?
    5. sallysue2, 6 years ago
      nope...these would be way to big for a tea cup or coffee cup.

      also called a posy ring...

      Yes, these are a Posey Ring, used for short stemmed Flowers like Camellias, I posted a single full circle one made by Haldeman Caliente Pottery in the 1930's, here's a link:

      Thank you all. I appreciate all the info!

      well, when I type in "posey ring" or "flower trough" on google, I'm not getting any info. I would like to know the age of these if possible. I think they are Capodimonte and they are marked "Japan".
