The Ladies - My Head Vase Collection

Last updated 08/22/99

My collection continues go grow!! Summer of 99 I was in the Wisconsin area and found several great heads. This one is my favorite, isn't she just wonderful!!

Look what I bought myself for Christmas 98!! Three of the most sought after pieces in the head vase collectibles. This set is incredible! I've had the "kids" in my cubboard for a year now, just waiting on their mother. Finally, I got her, she's lovely - thank you Doug!!

Relpo K1695 I bought this lovely gal through Jennifer's page. She is 7 inches tall and has the funkiest hairdo! I'm thinking of taking her to the beauty shop and telling my hairdresser - "Do me like this!!"

Couple I recently was high bidder in an eBay Auction for this lively pair.

Rubens Japan 4130 I got this gal through Michele on the message board. I ordered the set of three, pink, yellow, and blue. Unfortunately, the blue one arrived with her arm broken off. Since I lost her, and no longer had a set of 3, I decided to put up the yellow one in the eBay Auction. She sold to Margie Mills who also got a free t-shirt.

Lipstick Holder I first saw found this gal burried in some junk in an antique store in San Antonio in November of 1996. I regretted NOT buying it and when I visited again in February of this year I ran for the booth in the hopes that it might still be waiting for me. To my surprise, it was! The clerks were quite surprised when I brought it down with a price tag of 16.95 on the bottom. It has a Wales Made in Japan sticker on the bottom and is in perfect condition. Anybody else have one?

My Twins - Relpo 6744 I ordered from Michele on my Message Board. They are at the top of the list of my favorite heads. They are both in the Cole book 1 on page 113, Plate 226.

My new shelf Since my curio is now stuffed full, my hubby put up this double-decker shelf that I found in Fredericksburg. I filled it up in no time - guess I should have bought a few more.

JAPAN 6" Tall A San Antonio find. Pictured in the Kathleen Cole book on page 59, Plate 109 #4.

Fern - Florence Ceramics I acquired Fern when I got a call back on an add I placed in our local paper looking for heads. I'm hoping Fern's original owner will find more for me. This one is in MINT condition. I found her in the Posgay/Warner book on page 37 pictured with her sister Violet. Does anyone have Violet?

Rubens 4129 I recently bought these from Michele, posted on my message board. I got all 3 as a set in their original box. What a thrill! I call them the sisters and named them after my 3 lovely sisters, Karen, Lisa, and Marcia.

E969/S INARCO Cleve OHIO 1963 - 4 1/2 inches tall Another local antique mall find. Isn't she cute!

NAPCO #C3282A (1956) 5" Tall I found her this past November during our Thanksgiving trip to San Antonio. She looks identical to Kathleen Cole's plate 31, far right.

J.V. 12-9-53 My sister, Marcia, found this head in Michigan and gave it to me for Christmas last year. The above initials and date are carved onto the bottom of her body.
J.V. - are you out there? I've got your head!

NAPCOWARE #C7293 6" Tall Another lovely young lady. She is in Cole's Identification and Values book on plate #64 of page 37.

No Mark This gem is one of my recent finds. Lucky me!

Rubens 4125 Another find from my California trip this year. She's a cutie.

S569A Here is the first from my Head Vase Collection. This lovely lady was the start of my collection. My mother had her stashed in the basement, and before that, my gramma Lala owned her. Isn't she stunning!

A5047 This elegant lady was given to me by my mother-in-law on my 7th wedding anniversary.

INARCO #E1277 (1963) I found this small lady in Orange, California this past July.

No Mark This glamorous gal I picked up at an Antique Show here in Austin.

No Mark on the Little Man, The Lady is a NAPCO #S564 I picked up this cute little pair at the Flea Market on Sunrise Blvd. in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida this past January. I'm not sure that the little man is a head vase, he looks more like a candlestick holder. But they were sold as a pair, and I think they go well together.

No Mark This funny little gal was given to me on Christmas by my mother. Isn't she just too cute? I haven't seen her in any of Kathleen Cole's books, does anyone know where she came from or have one like her?

No Mark I found this pretty lady at a going out of business antique mall and paid just $8.00 dollars for her. What a bargain!

C3343B NAPCO 1958 This glamorous lady has a perl necklace and matching earings. I found her at an antique mall several years ago.

Irice, Hand Painted This pretty lady is a night light. My sister, Lisa Jo, found her somewhere in California.

7168 I hope it doesn't rain because this gal has lost her umbrella. Does anybody know where she can find an umbrella to match her outfit?

A5046 Another prize from my trip to California this past July of 1996. I found her in an antique store in the city of Orange.

ARDCO Made In Japan This lady is another Austin Antique show find. I got her in 1995. Her exact match is in Kathleen Cole's Identification and Values book on plate #129 of page 69.

No Mark This lady is very small, she looks exactly like the gal in Kathleen Cole's Identification and Values book on plate #62 of page 36. I bought her in a local antique mall.

Watch for more of my ladies!
