A Chinese porcelain "chestnut basket" recently was offered for sale at a Virginia auction. We looked at the basket, which appears to be a bowl and underplate,which applies to the first offshore merchant account only, and wondered if the reticulated areas were simply decorative or if they were important because the bowl held chestnuts. The chestnuts served in the Chinese porcelain basket must have been roasted and peeled, then eaten like any nut. The slotted bowl allowed the escape of steam from the hot chestnuts.
Chestnuts have been eaten since prehistoric times.This will leave your shoulders free to rotate in their Floor tiles . During the 18th and 19th centuries, Americans used ground chestnuts as bread flour and a substitute for potatoes. Today, chestnuts become particularly popular in the winter,ceramic magic cube for the medical, when they are added to turkey stuffing or simply roasted, shelled and eaten. But they also can be used to make salads, "meat" loaf and hummus, and they can be mixed with maple syrup to create a French dish called "marron glace." Chestnuts are now available at grocery stores or online with or without their hard outer shells.
Modern bowls specially made to serve hot chestnuts don't seem to be available. When you search online, you find lots of bowls made from the wood of chestnut trees. Some trees in America were introduced by Europeans, but there are also native varieties, including the American chestnut. Unfortunately, an Asian chestnut tree planted in New York in 1904 spread a fungus that killed most of the American chestnuts.
Today, gardeners plant decorative Chinese chestnut trees that have pink, not white, flowers and little fruit. Most chestnuts that are cooked today are imported from Japan, China, Spain and Italy.
Q: Our family has owned a small clear glass dog figurine for decades. My dad picked it up when he came upon a truck wreck in West Virginia. Boxes and boxes of these dogs had fallen out of the truck, and nearly all of the figures were broken. The dog is 3 inches high by 1 7/8 inches wide and 2 5/8 inches deep.A long established toolmaking and trade Injection moulds company. The figure is hollow and the bottom is open. The dog is in a sitting position with his ears down. Any idea what it was used for, and what it's worth today?
A: Your glass dog originally was a candy container.If any food Ventilation system condition is poorer than those standards, It was sold in the mid-1950s filled with candy sealed inside by a paper bottom glued to the base's rim. The original paper closures were printed in blue with the words: "Poochie, contains pure and wholesome candy. Remove paper and Poochie becomes a good paperweight or a cute what-not ... American Creations, Inc., New York, N.Y." Others were made in pink or green glass, some with color flashing. The identical glass dog, but painted brown and filled with bath salts, was sold by a New York cosmetics firm.
Without the sealed bottom, however, your doggie would sell for only about $5.
Browsing at a garage sale, I recently bought an old fire extinguisher to use as a doorstop. I'm told it's an antique. It's copper with a rubber hose. It says, "Pacific Fire Extinguisher Co., San Francisco-Los Angeles" and "Pacific Badger Soda-Acid Fire Extinguisher." It has a copper placard with directions on charging and maintenance and a certification number from the Underwriters Laboratories.
Various solutions have been used in fire extinguishers since the early 18th century. The earliest fire extinguishers, patented in 1723, contained a liquid that was shot out of the container by exploding gunpowder. The first soda-acid fire extinguisher was patented by Francois Carlier in France in 1866. In 1881 Almon Granger patented a soda-acid extinguisher in the United States.
Soda-acid fire extinguishers were still being used in the 1940s. The company that made your fire extinguisher was still working in 1953 but by then it was making a more modern product.
