ENJOY Shopping & Dining in Downtown Waukesha 244471002 Recently, I visited The Gathering Place in Oconomowoc. It's a lovely antique shop in a rustic barn setting and the owner gra- ciously allowed me to photo- graph this vintage tea set. The pattern name is "Ebb Tide" — the shell shape rep- resents the reflux of the tide toward the sea. Addis Emmet Hull was born in Ohio and became a creative designer and skilled entrepreneur. By 1917, his A.E. Hull Pottery Works in Crooksville created a line of art pottery for florists and gift shops. After Mr. Hull's death, the company limped along through the Depres- sion, but the 1940s were con- sidered its fabulous years. At one point, the company man- ufactured over 3 million pieces of pottery per year. The pastel-tinted pottery with floral features of blue and rose hues was regularly stocked in all of the mega F.W. Woolworth's retail stores. In 1950, the factory was destroyed by a flood and fire; with it were the glaze formulas for the art ware. By 1952, the company was back in production with a new, high-gloss pottery that had complex thematic designs such as this 1954 pattern. It was advertised as a new shape with an unusual marine motif. No longer were tea sets solely function- al and now could be enjoyed as decorative arts. The pot- tery works closed in 1985. The Ebb Tide collection with embossed fish, mer- maid and seashell designs has been found in 16 different shapes. Some examples include vases, cornucopias, baskets, bowls, candlesticks and pitchers. Shrimp-and- turquoise hues was an alter- nate color choice, but is not as collectible as this color palette of chartreuse and wine with brown shading. The design was truly ahead of its time with seahorse finials. A perfect condition example like this one is hard to find. Like most Hull pot- tery, the company mark (Hull) is on the base. What a great gift for seashore-loving friends! Value is $155. Note: "Hull" should not be confused with another Ohio company named "Hall China." Cheerios 'Premium' Confederate Play Money Food science innovator Lester Borchardt worked for General Mills Inc. and first named this boxed, cold cereal ''CheeriOats." In 1945, the round-shaped cereal was renamed "Cheerios." Adver- tising promoted it as a fast and healthy breakfast with- out cooking. The marketing giants also realized it was profitable to make cereal boxes appealing to children and to enclose prizes. "Pre- miums" was a broad term that included in-box promo- tions and mail-in offers. Cheerios Confederate Play Money was issued in 1954 and was intended to be an educational and historical keepsake. (These replicas were never intended to fault or to deceive.) To receive nine money notes — and a stand- up display album — cus- tomers would mail in one cereal box top and 25 cents. The trifold, card-stock album has slotted perforations to insert the reproduction cur- rency. General Mills claimed that it issued more of this play money than the entire Civil War Confederacy did in the 19th century. Condition and completeness of this vintage "Cereal Premium" means it sells up to $25. Note: About 97 percent of Confederate money is fake and the authentic 3 percent is often not valuable. That does not stop fake printed currency from being sold — so buyer beware. If you see "antique" American curren- cies printed on parchment paper for sale, it is fake. It will look old but parchment paper was never used to print money on. Have an item for appraisal? Tell us about it and it could be selected for a future column.
