Meet Your Seller
FROM UNCLE VINNY was my mother’s creation. Since I was a child, she would give extra presents to family on holidays, things that she found at thrift stores and garage sales. These gifts were handpicked for the recipient, and we always enjoyed opening them. She would sign the tag from “Uncle Vinny”, after St. Vincent de Paul’s endearing nickname, St. Vinny’s. Uncle Vinny performed his gift-giving duties under my mother’s tutelage for 50 years. Some relatives have known his presence all their lives: one cousin grew up without ever learning the truth behind our second Santa Claus, and she reached adulthood believing that we had some strange, distant uncle who sent us used presents! Today, my family still occasionally takes up Uncle Vinny’s mantle, bestowing thrifted gifts to each other in his name. I carry on the tradition in my own way, reselling vintage treasures I find at the same places mom and I used to shop together. Uncle Vinny lives on. I hope Uncle Vinny has the perfect gift here for you!

The matte-glazed bowl has a rich, hand-painted cobalt flower in the center surrounded by blue and green leaves and orange dots, all encircled by a banded rim with outlined florals. The date mark 1924 is on the bottom along with the company name, artist's mark, pattern number, and the "Lazarus Gate" symbol. Founded in 1898 in Gouda, Netherlands, Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland was a premier manufacturer of Dutch pottery, renowned for transitioning from high-gloss Art Nouveau (1898–1909) to distinctive matte-glaze Art Deco styles (after 1910). The factory, also known as PZH or Plazuid, was a major producer of colorful, hand-painted earthenware until its closure in 1964. Objects from the Dutch Pottery factory always have markings on the bottom. Usually you see a little house or gate as the factory logo. That little house refers to the Lazarus Gate in Gouda, a monumental gate way that use to be in the vicinity of the factory.
