As always, some wonderful new finds, oldies but goodies, special requests and more.  Click on the photos and links.

First up, it's rare to find BLACK transferware---but there it was--the perfect flea market find for a friend who collects it---and always sets the most beautiful dinner table.  It was Royal Stafford too.  FOR COLLECTORS OF THIS COLOR TRANSFERWARE, there's quite a bit of it at REPLACEMENTS LTD HERE.

FOR THE READER LOOKING FOR A SUITABLE "VENETIAN DEW" substitute--in clear---these GERMAN GLASS DECO BEADS from 32 DEGREES NORTH/VINTAGE ORNAMENTS will surely fit the bill.  Also available in other colors; more info here

That's followed by a great 1954 ad featuring Debra Paget from Demetrius and the Gladiators.  For those who don't know: the biblical drama is the sequel to The Robe. The picture was made by 20th Century Fox, directed by Delmer Daves and produced by Frank Ross.

The screenplay was written by Philip Dunne based on characters created by Lloyd C. Douglas in The Robe.  The movie presents Victor Mature as Demetrius, a Christian slave made to fight in the Roman arena as a gladiator, and Susan Hayward as Messalina, a reprobate who is the wife of Claudius, the uncle of the depraved emperor Caligula. 

The film was a massive commercial success.  YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT IT HERE.  Our friends at EFSP have a fabulous post on Paget here

FOR FANS OF HORNBY TRAINS, a fabulous Flickr album of Hornby pieces, ephemera, etc. from David Busfield HERE.
