I really enjoyed your blog as I have been collecting these for about the last five years, and because of a smart comment from my husband about collecting dust catchers, now have about 100 of them that are complete sets (top, saucer & holder). I have one glass insert in my collection as they are super hard to find in good condition. And yes, the rare and the really beautiful sets can be quite pricy. Think Pickard hand painted china. I do love seeing the speculation as to what they can be from someone who has never seen one; everything from a flower pot to a soap holder. Enjoy your find, its lovely.

I knew it was old and must have had a specific purpose in its' day - it's cream with pink roses - a lovely piece. I have a small bouquet of silk pink African violets in it.

I have never heard of these and what a lovely piece you found! I also didn't realize they used condensed milk all those years ago. What a fun and interesting post, Phyllis! I also love your black tea set in your latest post. It's quite handsome. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019493705058948268.post-23892006186994957282016-09-07T22:29:59.214-04:002016-09-07T22:29:59.214-04:00I haven't had one or see one for quite a few y...I haven't had one or see one for quite a few years! They aren't seen often...I think it's 5 or 6 years since I have had one...but there are rabid collectors! It is very hard to find them with all the pieces. Great find!

And I look forward to reading many more, and learning new things as I did today. I don't think I've ever run across a condensed milk holder, if I had, the hole in the bottom would have confused me. But what a great idea to have a removable glass liner. I'm glad you found yours at a reasonable price.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183723445145517680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019493705058948268.post-82280539294787237552016-09-06T20:40:38.454-04:002016-09-06T20:40:38.454-04:00Congrats on 1200 posts!

Had no idea, thanks so much for sharing this amazing treasure - and teaching us- today!<br /><br />I think it's brilliant to use condensed milk - that way it doesnt' water down the tea. Leave it to those folks to think of something so practical and brilliant.

I had no idea there was such a thing as a condensed milk holder and like you, may have seen one in my travels and not known what it was.<br />The comment about not putting a jar on a table was one I learned at home - the jam or curd must always be in a pretty jam jar and I have several. Always a tablecloth on my tables too. :-)Judith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.com
