Barbara Pagani's Tresor Cache 101

 This is a vintage Descoware Dutch oven from the "Descorama" line, featuring a design by Robert Markley. We picked it up at an estate sale and fell in love with its vibrant colors. Descoware was a brand of porcelain-coated cast-iron cookware manufactured in Belgium, popular in the mid-20th century.  The "Descorama" line, which includes this design, was created in the 1950s.  The cookware is known for its cast iron and distinctive enamel colors.

 Oddly enough I was sure I had one like this that belonged to my mother. Maybe I donated it and I just bought it back. Wouldn't that be funny. Anyhow it works well with 4 AA Batteries. I am not sure I will sell it.

à    This is a chromolithograph print of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  The artwork is a color lithograph, a popular technique for religious devotional images in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.  The print depicts the Virgin Mary with her heart exposed and flaming, symbolizing her intense love and sorrow. It is set in a rustic, chippy over painted wooden frame that shows signs of aging, such as a "craquelure" or crackled paint. The frame is held in the back with 2 older hooks and hung with cord.  The angle that the frame would sit against the wall makes it looks as though she is looking down on you. This comes from a home in the Laurentians in Quebec. There is some dirt build up in the lower corners. I have cleaned the outside of the glass but there is a build up of dirt and paint in the corners and in the seams.  A professional cleaning will restore it. The glass is wavy and easy to see on an angle that it is older glass but difficult to photograph....

  This is a vintage retractable clothesline reel holder, made of metal with a rusty finish with a chippy red paint wood knob on the handle. The line measures 8ft out. The holder is wall-mounted and features a crank handle to retract the line. It looks like it was made in England.
