the last supper chalkware and some history

Vintage "THE LAST SUPPER" 3d Wall Hanging Plaque 1950s?
jUdas standing on the end with the cup of Christ 
is one of the 12 disciples and Jesus in the middle.

15" long x 7 1/2 inches tall x 3 1/2 inches thick.  and it does have a wire hanger that is pretty sturdy built right into the chalkware piece. it is also stamped with a #12 on the top edge.

The interesting thing in this portrayal chalkware wall hanging there is no Mary Magdalene.



according to vampire lore, Judas was the original vampire which is also an interesting thought as you usually do not see Judas in these scenes holding the cup of Christ, where the authorian  legend believes the cup was to catch the blood of Christ when he was crucified...

just some interesting lore i have heard as i have collected many of these and always seem to find different things in each one.

The holy Grail was the cup of Christ. many little religious things to learn when collecting religious Last Supper Chalkware. 


this one will come especially gift wrapped and packaged for safe shipping via usps priority mail for US customers at no additional charge.
please message me if outside the US for shipping details.

pyrex everywhere!

this is not my dish but it has been relisted due to no sale. i had not seen this pattern before so had to share. :)
Vintage Prex 444 Cinderella Mixing Bowl Blue Delphite Golden Grape Leafs 4 Qt


These are my dishes as well here at the following blog link....it is hard having so many blogs and try to keep each updated as much as possible. I created several knowing that somewhere some way one of them would do really well and attract lots of friends and followers. It also helps keep me busy when fibromyalgia flare ups take over my day. Those are the days i rely on my blog pages to help pass the time and? I get by with a little help from my friends who visit and keep me company at home, or on my blog pages. Thank You for visiting!  http://retrocitytrash.blogspot.com/

seems i am always thinking up great ideas, innovation they call it, creativity, one day one of these great ideas just may lead somewhere good. Well, in fact, they all do. It is a good hobby for me to have fun while also taking care of my family.

treasure hunting finds

OMG i havent been to my own blog page for awhile! but since then i have found a fun hobby to keep me busy besides just painting and rehabbing furniture to make it new again. Treasure hunting at estate sales and thrifting for unique and out of the ordinary things
just like you would find in gramas attic which is what i named my booth on bonanza.com.
renew your soul and believe you can make a difference with vintage good quality items rather than new. Just dont ask for all my pyrex. ;). i have been known to be very generous but when it comes to chairs and pyrex i get a little bit protective.


please visit often and share updates here to bring more visitors. mention you did this and get a discount on your next rare treasure purchase from my website. even more fun? on bonanza you can make an offer and wait for the seller to accept and ship out your order.
