Well, I could tell how much my mom adored this table at the antique store, but the price was too high for her. So... :)
Surprised her the next day and had it set for 1930 (in just a few minutes as I was running behind from work and had to get the rust and grime off it.... plus our other table is a heavy beast that almost killed me in moving it by myself.....) to make it more presentable, and we had a nice supper that night.
Porceliron, by Ingram-Richardson Mfg. Co. of Beaver Falls, PA. They were around from the early 1900s (1912 for Porceliron merger) to 1965ish, with 'porceliron table tops' seen in magazines from 1917-1964, but I couldn't find out when this table was made. 1930s? 1940s? It has a very Art-Deco base and a bold patterned top.
That's an AWESOME table SB -- and what a thoughtful surprise for your Mom?!!
<applause> all around!!
Wowser - beautiful table. Before I enlarged one of the photos I thought if was a table cloth, and was going to ask to see the table top!
That's incredible Spirit, and such a wonderful gift for your Mum.
I really love your moms milk glass. My favorite piece is the covered sugar bowl. I love pieces with lids. That pitcher is a close second.
Anything Obscure, thank you. She loves it.
Gillian, it's hard to believe a table so bold exists. LOL.
Time Traveller, All the glass/porcelain you see there I found at thrift-stores. Plates for me, milkglass for mom. The sugar bowl and pitcher are of the same pattern.
Bobby725, thank you. I found a few other manufacturers of enameled tables while looking into when they were most popular.
nutsabotas6, it's something you either love or hate the look of.
You are so sweet, your mom is a lucky woman! I have never seen a table like that, it is beautiful!!
Tahiti1, upon seeing it, my nephew gasped and loudly exclaimed, "It's beautiful!" I didn't expect him to love it. LOL.
