The Bounty of Summer in Collectibles & Art

COLLECTIBLES EXCLUSIVELY FOR RANDOLPH STREET MARKET BY NENA IVON, nenasnotes

Nothing more delicious than a perfect tomato, the smell, the flavor, the variety… totally Mother Nature at her best. And corn, my mouth is watering just thinking of the possibilities, I love to grill in their husks all buttered up goodness! With so many Farmer’s Markets it is possible to enjoy these beauties all summer long… but wait this isn’t a food/recipe post it is about collectibles especially at the delicious monthly Randolph Street Market and it’s May through September outdoor season, in addition to the every month inside dealers.

I enjoyed telling you a bit about Lettuce Ware in a previous post, today let’s look at some tomato and corn collectibles.

Most of the collectible tomato pieces are from Royal Bayreuth… but you can find other tomato collectibles. As always when collecting do your research, talk to the expert dealers and most importantly use and enjoy your treasures.

Randolph Street Market collectible tomato pieces

“Royal Bayreuth is the name of a factory that was founded in Tettau, Bavaria, in 1794. It has continued to modern times. The marks have changed through the years. A stylized crest, the name Royal Bayreuth, and the word Bavaria appear in slightly different forms from 1870 to about 1919. Later dishes may include the words U.S. Zone (1945–1949), the year of the issue, or the word Germany instead of Bavaria.” Kovels website

Not into pottery… how about silver tomato servers… I say absolutely! During the Victorian era there were special serving (and flatware) pieces for everything. I happen to find these delightful and, of course, can serve other items.

From my collection, in my pattern Kirk’s Repossé, guess where I found it… RSM, of course!

On to corn, nothing beats it to eat, for sure, but collecting is fun too. Many of the pieces are Majolica (fascinating to learn that the king of chefs, James Beard, was an avid Majolica collector, but that is another story) but you will also find American pottery pieces from McCoy, Hall, etc.

Some Majolica pieces that caught my eye…

WOW! 🎉 A huge thank you to the fans, friends, staff of Randolph Street Market who made the kickoff to our 20th season so amazing! 🫶☺️ Without your support, 20 years of RSM would not be made possible. 

This past weekend, attendees enjoyed vintage treasure hunting from nearly 200 dealers, live entertainment, food trucks and more. Enough fun for the whole family and the beautiful weather made it perfect for roaming around the market. ☀️ 

If you couldn’t attend the May market, don’t worry — We will be back in the West Loop July 29+30 for our next market. 🥳🎉⭐️ Mark your calendars & spread the word!!! 🗣️
